Flutter has a number of drawbacks, including:
-
Limited library maintain: Flutter is a relatively new platform and has a limited library compared to more established frameworks like React Native.
-
Application size: Flutter applications tend to have larger file sizes compared to native apps.
-
Limited developer pool: As Flutter is relatively new, there is a limited pool of developers with experience in the platform.
-
Hot Reload feature is not always reliable: While Hot Reload is a useful feature for quickly iterating on app development, it is not always reliable and can sometimes cause issues with the app's functionality.
-
Performance: Flutter apps can sometimes have performance issues on older devices or when running complex animations.
-
Not all third-party packages are compatible with web and desktop.
It's important to note that these drawbacks may change over time as the framework is being actively developed and improved by Google.
