I think a lot of these comments are not necessarily valid or have been addressed already and we've lost the actual productive feedback in the mess.
- Integration testing - This exists and is very commonly used: https://docs.flutter.dev/cookbook/testing/integration/introd...
- Location - This 100% should be a core offering, its crazy that its not for mobile application.
- iOS dark mode - Flutter supports Dark Mode - https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/material/ThemeMode.html
- iOS keyboard dismiss decoration - Not sure on this.
- iOS keyboard scroll-to-dismiss mode - This is trivial to setup, just listen on scroll and hide keyboard. You could even create a generic handler that can be reused everywhere for this.
- iOS NavigationLink widget - Not familiar with this construct but easy to build yourself.
- iOS checkbox widget - Totally agree but also easy to build directly.
- Android camera that doesn't randomly crash (unfixed for 3 years) - We've got a couple application that use camera and never had this issue.
- Android date-time picker - This has been in for a long time: https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/material/showDatePicker.html
- Usable documentation for Navigator 2.0 - I think the updated docs on navigation have addressed this issue largely.
- Debugger visibility into Dart async tasks - You can 100% debug async tasks.
- Stop HTTP requests on timeout - This exists in Flutter https://stackoverflow.com/a/51489701
- Testing on physical devices for apps that use flavors - We do this regularly across 5 different flavors on both iOS and Android.
- UI inspection tools that don't randomly stop working - Never had this happen.
We have a react native app and sometimes it fails to build. We go to lunch, and come back no code change now it builds.
I'm just sick of the NPM/Javascript bullshit.
Does Flutter avoid all of these kinds of issues? I'm this close to scrapping the whole thing.
I worked with React Native for 3 years before jumping over to Flutter and this was the biggest reason why I made the switch. Its exponentially better on Flutter. The only time builds break for the team are when we made a code change that broke it. Its consistent and non-flaky (looking at you RN). Not that you won't run into the occasional issue but with React Native easily 20% of my time developing was "this just stopped working and there's no reason why". React Native was configuration hell. With Flutter, I haven't struggled with that at all past the initial setup.
Despite many maturity issues in practice Flutter is the only realistic option for true cross platform UIs that run everywhere. Apart from Qt , but the licensing issue is a hindrance. And yes, the web backend isn't ideal, but it will improve over time.
I just wish Google had built Flutter on a low level core that isn't tied to Dart, so it would be usable from other languages.
Dart isn't horrible and is getting better, but it is still a somewhat awkward mish mash of Java and JavaScript, and I don't really enjoy using it.
The only reason to use Dart is Flutter, which really hurts ecosystem health / library availability and prevents code sharing with the backend.
I thought I would hate Dart since it seems like such a bland language but after working in it for a year and a half its easily one of my favorites. Its straightforward and tailored directly for Flutter's use-cases. It feels like it doesn't come with a lot of the baggage you get with other, longer-lived languages. It is also incredibly readable without hiding how it works behind decades of syntactic sugar. All that to say, I definitely see how it can be disliked and I also disliked it when I started working with it but it definitely grew on me.

We all make mistakes but rarely at this scale. I hope whoever accidentally sent out the integration email to everyone doesn't get in trouble. I would hate for my dumb mistakes to be put on blast by hundreds of thousands or millions of people.
