I'm a solo dev. Built an app. Wanted to publish it. Seemed simple enough.

Went with a personal account. Big mistake.

The reality hit hard:

First try:

• 14 days waiting for validation
• 5 more days for "pre-validation"
• Had to find 12 actual testers
• Another 14 days for final review

App rejected. No clear reason why.

Fixed what I thought was wrong. Resubmitted.

Rejected again.

Made more changes. Waited. Rejected a third time.

Three months gone. Just waiting and getting rejected.

The real pain:

• Watched competitors release updates
• Paid for servers while earning nothing
• Started hating what I once loved
• Felt like Google was laughing at me

The simple fix

Talked to a dev frie

Recently I've seen too many post and articles about the panic that Google is abandoning Flutter, and that everyone should use the latest fork, Flock.

Just. Stop.

Every post is the same, and most likely a strategy to push an unnecessary fork onto people by trying to cause panic and doubt. Flutter is already open source. It's here to stay, like it or not. Even IF Google abandons it (which it won't), the community will continue to update and maintain it for many years to come.

Many big companies are adopting and refactoring their natives apps using Flutter. So everyone just needs to take a deep breath and use common sense. Flutter is not dying.

Guess what they said about php for the last 2

Every few months, like clockwork, the tech blogosphere gets flooded with the same recycled clickbait: "Is Flutter Dying?", "Why CTOs Are Quietly Leaving Flutter", or "Why Google is Killing Cross-Platform."

As someone who has been a Flutter Google Developer Expert for eight years now (literally from day one of the GDE program) and a five-decade software industry veteran, I usually just chuckle at the headlines. But having watched this ecosystem evolve from an experimental alpha into an enterprise powerhouse, I wanted to share the real insider story on what’s actually happening on the ground.

1. What Actually Happened at Google?

When tech companies restructured engineering teams rec

Super excited to share that my PRs have been merged into the Flutter framework! 🎉 After using Flutter for over 4 years, finally contributing to the core framework feels incredibly rewarding. One PR fixed a P2-level bug, and another added a P3-level feature—small contributions, but meaningful to me.

Getting my code reviewed by Google developers and open-source contributors has been a fantastic learning experience. It’s given me insights into Flutter’s internals and has really deepened my appreciation for the framework. Can’t wait to contribute more and give back to a community and toolkit that’s been pivotal in my development journey!

When I scroll r/androiddev or r/iosdev I always find interesting discussions about architecture, a new library or whatever.
Most of what I see on r/FlutterDev are previews of Youtube tutorial without any interaction in the comments and it just feel like spams. It's amazing that a lot of people create content about Flutter but maybe we could hide the video flair by default?

Flutter has just enabled all of us to deploy to all OSes without having to worry too much.

Flutter 2.0 announced stable branches for web, desktop and also announced PWA support.

Screw different code bases. All my homies use Flutter.

New king of cross platform development 🙌🏾💪🏾😍💙💙💙💙

TL;DR: Flutter development needs to slow down.

Hi! I've been working with Flutter for the past year. In this post, I want to address the most important issue that Flutter is facing and give some realistic advice for people who come to this subreddit to look for the answer to whether if they should use Flutter for their next project.

To start this post off, I want to say: I'm just as passionate about Flutter as you are. I love Flutter and the infinite possibilities that it brings. However, as I became more and more dependent upon flutter, my frustration levels really started to increase.

I get it. Flutter is a cross-platform framework, which means that it is and always will be a "second-c

I noticed that flutter_svg (as well as the vector_graphics family of packages) is now maintained by the Flutter team, although → because of a tragic reason. RIP.

This makes me wonder how many popular packages are maintained by a single person. Do you all have a will that contains account credentials? I don't. But I probably should have…

I’ve never seen anything as good as Flutter for UI development. The teams here are at least 3x more productive than React Native teams (in almost all metrics: design systems, sprint speed for launch new features, maintenance, and more.). Developers can define better architectures and design systems for components, and at this rate, my company could launch multiple apps each 2 weeks.

Moreover, developers have so much more joy working with this technology compared to others. I've had several cases where back-end developers learned Flutter, and in just two weeks, they were already highly productive. It's amazing for any background.

In my opinion, Flutter is by far the best stack for start

I am currently being denied the right to delete my Google Play developer account and remove personal data attached to it.

This includes my residential address, which is now publicly visible.

I’ve requested removal multiple times. Google has refused.

I didn’t agree to have it published. I asked them to remove it. They said no.

I asked them to delete my app. They said no.

I asked them to close my account. They said no.

This is a massive violation of privacy and it puts real people in danger.

Please share your thoughts on what to do next.
