what technology is flutter built with?
|
flutter is built with c, c++, dart,
|
skia (a 2d rendering engine),
|
and impeller (the default rendering engine on iOS).
|
see this architecture diagram
|
for a better picture of the main components.
|
for a more detailed description of the layered architecture
|
of flutter, read the architectural overview.

|
how does flutter run my code on android?
|
the engine’s c and c++ code are compiled with android’s NDK.
|
the dart code (both the SDK’s and yours)
|
are ahead-of-time (aot) compiled into native, ARM, and x86
|
libraries. those libraries are included in a “runner”
|
android project, and the whole thing is built into an .apk.
|
when launched, the app loads the flutter library.
|
any rendering, input, or event handling, and so on,
