Google I/O is happening right now, and that means, of course, there’s a bunch of new Android development news! If you’re reading this post, then that means Google has just (or already) announced Flutter 2.2, a new version of their cross-platform app development framework.

Flutter Adoption Stats

There’s actually quite a bit of new stuff for a point release, but before we get into that, we should talk stats. Google is pretty proud of Flutter, and it seems like that’s for good reason. According to data cited from SlashData, Flutter is now the most popular cross-platform development framework, with 45% of cross-platform developers choosing to use it.

That popularity is the result of some pretty big growth. Over the course of a year, from early 2020 to early 2021, Flutter has seen a 47% growth in usage, and over 12% of all the apps available in the Play Store are programmed in Flutter. 12% may not seem like a lot, but the Play Store has a lot of apps; over 200,000 of them are using Flutter.
