Titanium VS Flutter

On the Android side a Floating Action Button icon will now respect the tintColor and will change its color. The Android Label got some new properties: lineCount (returns the lines of the label) and visibleText (returns the visible text). This is very useful if you work with an ellipsize: true Label. Check the PR for some demo code. And as described in a previous new post: breakStrategy and hyphenationFrequency (demo code). The titleAttributes.color property is now exposed on Android so it will use the same value as iOS to color the title text

Titanium SDK - cross platform mobile framework

Appcelerator Titanium is an open-source platform that allows developers to create native mobile apps using JavaScript. It provides a comprehensive set of tools and capabilities for building, testing, and deploying various applications across multiple platforms, including iOS and Android.

I remember Appcelerator. In fact I'm still using it to this day. The core Titanium is now open source and the Apps are "true" native. Give them another look and you may be surprised: https://titaniumsdk.com

Java 19 support is on the roadmap and many PRs are waiting to be included. Help to test them https://github.com/tidev/titanium_mobile/pulls so we have some feedback and can merge them quicker.

A new layout for Android was added in PR that adds a collapsing toolbar with a parallax image effect. Click here for a video demo

And if you are a Android/Java or iOS developer and want to work on the SDK yourself: have a look at the official github repo. Pull request are always welcome!

support for Dynamic Island (PR - docs will come soon

of course you can use every other Android theme. And with that you will have a new helper function Ti.UI.Android.harmonizedColor(color) that will generate a "harmonizing color" of the color you are passing in (PR).

Thanks - that link does not appear to be open access, anyways I don't think I've seen it. I'm familiar with Flutter at a high-level (Kevin Moore gave a great talk on it at Wasm I/O), and I think other than requiring users to work in Dart, it is probably one of the most powerful ways to do cross-platform UI today.

Worth noting that their original GPU backend was Skia, and now they are retooling around Flutter GPU (Impeller)[0], which is kind of designed similarly as an abstract rendering interface over platform-specific GPU APIs.

If you are considering Electron/React then I would suggest adding Flutter to your list of technologies to consider. It uses Dart (a language similar to C#) and has a lot going for it… relatively quick to get up to speed with, fantastic developer experience (e.g., hot reload, great IDE support, good development tools) and very strong cross-platform support: it generates native iOS, Android, MacOS, Windows and Linux executables. Check it out: https://flutter.dev/

You can find the React Native documentation here and Flutter Documentation here.

> There is actually a great issue thread on the Flutter GitHub that explains exactly why other solutions do not work correctly when compared to hooks [0]

Interesting. I assume you are referring to this comment in particular -> https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/51752#issuecomment... ?
