I am a native android app developer myself and worked with many start-ups. Speaking with my personal experience that as soon as the company choose flutter they dig their own grave.
One unicorn startup I worked with went bankrupt after launching its app in flutter.
Another one laid off entire native android and iOS teams in December 2023 to launch the flutter version. Now they are unable to handle people’s rage for the app. They are now buying fake reviews and still not scoring 3 starts.
I hope companies will realize that choosing hybrid is not ideal for long-term.
Anecdotally I mostly hear that the cross-platform code doesn’t work so you end up needing to write platform specific implementations of everything anyway. But in Flutter. And it is harder to hire good talent for.
