Hey everyone,
I’m looking into a new tech stack for our company’s mobile app development. We’re currently using regular .NET, but I’m thinking about moving to .NET Core. To test the waters, I want to build a small app using Flutter for the frontend and .NET Core for the backend.
The thing is, I’m not sure if this combo will work smoothly for both Android and iOS. I’ve been searching online, but there’s not much info about using these two together, especially since Flutter is pretty new (just hit beta).
Has anyone tried this setup? Are there any gotchas or limitations I should know about? I’d really appreciate any insights or experiences you can share.
Thanks in advance for your help!
ooh, Flutter and .NET Core? sounds intriguing! have u considered how you’ll handle authentication between them? also, what about real-time features - any plans for SignalR or websockets? it’d be cool to hear more about ur specific use case. maybe there’s room for some creative solutions? what’s driving the switch from regular .NET?
I’ve recently worked on a project using Flutter and .NET Core, and I can confirm it’s a viable combination. The key is to design a robust API layer in your .NET Core backend that Flutter can easily consume. We used RESTful endpoints and JSON for data exchange, which worked seamlessly across both Android and iOS.
One thing to watch out for is state management in Flutter. As your app grows, you’ll want to implement a solid state management solution like Provider or Bloc to keep your UI responsive when interacting with the backend.
Performance-wise, we found the combo to be quite efficient. Flutter’s hot reload feature paired nicely with .NET Core’s quick compile times, significantly speeding up our development process.
Overall, it’s a powerful stack that leverages the strengths of both technologies. Just ensure you have team members familiar with both ecosystems to maximize productivity.
Yup, flutter and .NET core can def work together! i’ve used em for a small project. key is setting up good API endpoints. watch out for cors issues tho, they can be a pain. also, flutter’s state mgmt can get tricky with bigger apps. but overall, it’s a solid combo if u know both techs well!
