Thanks god, you are wrong and you are in the right place. In this article, I will show you how to create an iOS Widget-Extension for your Flutter App.

On September 16, 2020 iOS14 was released and for the first time since the release of Apple’s mobile operating system there was a change in the home screen. It is now possible to show small apps (widgets) on the home screen, where users can see important information without having to open the corresponding app. A well-known example is the weather widget, which is definitely a great use case for Widgets.

To take it right from the front: Unfortunately, there is currently no possibility to code the widget in Flutter itself. The widgets have to be programmed in Xcode and SwiftUI as usual. But what is very well possible is to enable the communication with Flutter and that is exactly what this is all about. So let’s get started.

#dart #flutter #swiftui #flutter-widget #ios-14
