Web Hosting Flutter Apps

Flutter is an open source software development tool that enables developers to write cross-platform mobile applications for iOS, Android and web with one code base. This makes it the ideal way to bring mobile apps onto the web as PWA or SPAs while creating a cohesive experience across platforms – Rive recently used Flutter exclusively when building their powerful animation tool and turning it into a web app for designers to collaborate and use collaboratively.

Flutter web apps can be hosted on any server that supports PHP or JavaScript language, though ideally you should select a provider with flexible scalable solutions that meet the app growth and traffic demands. Popular choices include Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure and Heroku.

Before deploying your Flutter web app, a release build must first be conducted by running “flutter build web” in your project directory. This will generate a build/web folder with a compiled version of your app which includes HTML, CSS and JavaScript files.

Once your web app is complete, uploading it to Firebase Hosting can give it access through a URL. When choosing the plan that meets both your budget and traffic needs, take full advantage of Firebase’s advanced analytics features as well.
