Flutter is Googles Trojan Horse to invade Apples app ecosystem. No way they are going to abandon it.

Googles plan:

1. Release Flutter 2. Transition Android to FuchsiaOS 3. App developers migrate Android code base to Flutter 4. Businesses abandon Apples iOS tool chain for Flutter

The key being Flutter is the new “native” standard for Fuchsia

Just knowing how software development works… this will never happen. Few dev shops have the resources, time or inclination to migrate code bases… and for what end game?

I guess Google can dream. But, while where dreaming in hypotheticals…

By that time, apple will have their own search engine along with all of Google’s iOS mobile ad revenue. And today, iOS accounts for 80% of Google’s mobile ad revenue.

And while this migration is happening… Apple’s AR and VR devices will be competing with meta’s… Google won’t even have a device… they’ll be disinter-mediated. And in serious financial decline. As ad revenue evaporates for them.

They don't need to convince people to migrate, they just need to make Flutter the most attractive option when starting a new app. At some point it will start to eat their lunch.

The Apple dev story isn't without its own issues either, think about the cahotic migration to swift or the rapidly changing ui frameworks
