Appendix D. Flutter for iOS developers

The Flutter documentation has a fantastic page about iOS, and I am not an iOS expert. So, for this appendix, I’d like to touch on some of the most common questions iOS developers new to Flutter ask, as well as how you can make an app that’s familiar to iOS users. I’ll structure this as a series of questions and answers.

I suggest you read the opening chapter (or two) before reading this appendix—even if you’re super familiar with iOS and have never seen a line of Flutter code. A lot of the jargon in this section is Flutter-specific.

Also, there is a lot you won’t find here. For example, animations. Animations are a big part of writing UIs and can be challenging. But there’s an entire chapter in this book about animations in Flutter. This document is more about pointing you in the right direction, because all the information you want is in the chapters of this book.
