Add Flutter to your existing desktop app

on YouTube ↗14m

" summary

Shows how to run Flutter as a library inside an existing desktop host (demoed with a Python app) so Flutter UI loads inside the native process, communicates bidirectionally with the host, and updates state both ways. Build change example: macOS project switches executable path to a loader/library build so the host injects Flutter. Works on Windows and macOS and also with Java, C++, Go, C#. Plugins still work so pub.dev packages are usable from the embedded Flutter UI.
