Flutter 2 is here! What’s new?

 

Flutter 2 is finally released. And it has a bunch of new stuff! As my core tech for this year is Flutter and automation (wait for it) I will write about it a lot! Here I want just to start the journey and show you the coolest news in Flutter 2

Web support

Flutter’s web support has transitioned from beta to the stable channel. With this initial stable release, Flutter pushes the reusability of code to another level with the support of the web platform. So now when you create a Flutter app that is stable, the web is just another device target for your app.

Find more details about this stable release in Flutter’s web support blog post.

Rive interface with Flutter

Desktop

The ReorderableListView now has grab handles for easy drag ’n’ drop with a mouse

In this release, It was announced that Flutter’s desktop support is available in the stable channel under an early release flag. What this means is that we’re ready for you to give it a try as a deployment target for your Flutter apps: you can think of it as a “beta snapshot” that previews the final stable release coming later this year. And it is as well for Mac as for Windows and Linux!

Google Mobile Ads to Beta

In addition to Flutter desktop moving to beta, was announced an open beta for Google Mobile Ads SDK for Flutter. This is a brand new plugin that provides inline banner and native ads, in addition to the existing overlay formats (overlay banner, interstitial, and rewarded video ads). This plugin unifies support for Ad Manager and Admob, so no matter what size publisher you are, this plugin can be tailored to your scenarios.

And many, many more! I am really excited to learn all about that and more. This year I am planning to release two apps written in Flutter so stay tuned for that.

How to build FAQ Chatbot on Dialogflow?

  After Google I/O I’m inspired and excited to try new APIs and learn new stuff from Google. This time I decided to try Dialogflow and build a Flutter Chatbot app that will answer some frequently asked questions about Dialogflow. This time I want to be focused more on Dialogflow rather than Flutter. Firstly, go to  Dialogflow ES console , create a new Agent, specify the agent’s name, choose English as a language and click “Create”. As you created a new agent go to setting and enable beta features and APIs and Save. Now let’s model our Dialogflow agent When you create a new Dialogflow agent, two default intents will be created automatically. The  Default Welcome Intent  is the first flow you get to when you start a conversation with the agent. The  Default Fallback Intent  is the flow you’ll get once the agent can’t understand you or can not match intent with what you just said. Click  Intents > Default Welcome Intent Scroll down to  Responses ....

What’s new in ARKit 4

  Here it is. The latest version of Apple’s Augmented Reality framework,  ARKit 4 , has just been announced at  WWDC 2020 . Let’s see what’s new in ARKit 4 and for Augmented Reality app development on iOS.  If you’re more inquisitive I linked all stuff directly to Apple documentation. Location anchors ARKit  location anchors  allow you to place virtual content in relation to anchors in the real world, such as points of interest in a city, taking the AR experience into the outdoors.   By setting geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude, and altitude) and leveraging data from Apple Maps, you can create AR experiences linked to a specific world location. Apple calls this process “visual localization”, basically locating your device in relation to its surroundings with a higher grade of accuracy.   All iPhones & iPad with at least an A12 bionic chip and GPS are supported.
