The results from the latest quarterly Flutter survey are out. They focused on:

• Null safety, which is, as predicted, makes the majority of developers happy;
• Ecosystem, which satisfactory rate is increasing;
• Text editing, a subject the Flutter team is planning to improve, both in code and with examples;
• Mobile development.

I am not surprised to see that Xcode (for iOS dev) and Gradle (for Android dev) are problematic to deal with. That is also what I experienced while working with Flutter.

What is stopping you from using Flutter more effectively? Let me know in the comment section.

A nice explanation of dependency injection in Flutter by Marcos Sevilla, with some code examples, and more detailed information about when using flutter_bloc and Riverpod. Followed by Cleaner Flutter Vol. 10: State and UI which is a very nice reading about state management. I suggest you have a look at the entire "Cleaner Flutter" series.
