" summary

Claim: Flutter replaces native apps at scale — a 40‑person project (Yandex Pro) and a 3‑person startup (Blush) both migrate to a single codebase, with Android replaced in 2022 and iOS migrated in 2024. Implementation details: Dart with hot reload, plugins written for Yandex map SDK, camera, audio, Bluetooth, isolates for threading. Tradeoffs: learning Dart, fewer Flutter hires, occasional platform SDK gaps. Alternatives compared: React Native, Kotlin Multiplatform.
