Flutter is at least open source, here's hoping that the dev community gets organized enough to have the will to adapt annual iOS updates into the Cupertino widgets once Google drops support for the project.



1. Apple doesn't refresh the UI components annually. In fact the last time it happened was 3 years ago. Not to mention that the Cupertino widgets are very limited in nature.

2. This project definitely feels different compared to some of their others. The experience is just so much better than writing iOS or Android code that I think they would be insane not to support it.


Maybe they don't do full-on refreshes a la iOS 7, but perhaps they tweak little animation physics here and there. I'm thinking of this article's critiques of Cupertino widgets feeling a bit off:
