Web Hosting Flutter Desktop Apps

Flutter, Google’s user interface framework, was initially introduced for creating high-performance native applications on Android and iOS platforms. Since its debut, its usage has expanded into any screen-based activity imaginable; including desktop applications. Flutter’s recently improved support for desktop apps has led to much success within the industry.

Flutter has quickly become the go-to technology for enterprises and organizations seeking to develop high-performing, natively looking cross-platform desktop apps with high performance and native appearance. Numerous large enterprises such as BMW, Nubank, eBay and Alibaba Group use Flutter in developing desktop applications that run seamlessly across devices and platforms; among these are BMW, Nubank, eBay and Alibaba Group. Several technologies exist for Flutter app development but now this latest version allows it to produce seamless cross-device desktop apps using Flutter framework.

Add Flutter desktop support is relatively straightforward in the Flutter IDE; simply select windows (desktop), macOS or Linux from the device pulldown list and click run for your application to run in each platform. The IDE will create all required native files and directories automatically for these desktop platforms.

Once your Flutter desktop app is completed, you can host it on a web server in much the same way that static assets transpiled using Webpack or another JavaScript bundler would. Alternatively, the IDE allows users to generate MSIX packages for deployment via Microsoft Store and other distribution channels – ideal for organizations looking to distribute desktop applications centrally among users.
