When I looked at it a bit less than year ago, google already had multiple introductory conference talks, a free udacity course, and several codelabs available.

Those plus the official dart guides was more than enough to learn it.

General thread (this one)

It appears that Flutter push notification support is limited, with Google shoehorning developers into Firebase Cloud Messaging without providing support for certain iOS push notification features.

If anyone has information/experience to the contrary of this, please share! :slight_smile:

I am currently researching whether to go with Flutter or React Native for a greenfield mobile project, and while I initially thought of taking Flutter for a spin, I do not appreciate the vendor lock-in Google may be trying to achieve with it…

This may change over time, since React Native has the luxury of a massive developer community and Flutter does not yet have such a thing (the OneSignal push notification SDK seems to be maintained less than quarterly), but right now the only argument I see in favor of Flutter is that it is not JavaScript-based

It appears that Flutter push notification support is limited, with Google shoehorning developers into Firebase Cloud Messaging without providing support for certain iOS push notification features.

FWIW, it’s possible to use underlying OS libs including those for push notifications from a Flutter app via platform channels.

Hmm, React Native has language-level support for iOS push notifications: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/pushnotificationios.html#content
