As developers, it’s not uncommon that we will need to create complex apps that run on multiple platforms, either as separate apps for each platform, or using cross-platform tools. While it’s easy enough to say “just build it with Flutter!”, this talk will introduce you to how you can add Flutter into your existing apps, some of the available tools for supporting multiple operating systems with Flutter, and how to reuse some of your already written native components.

by Neevash Ramdial, Stream

Join us as we explore Flutter’s Material State properties and look at how it can help us respond to user interaction on multiple platforms.
