Flutter Migration Service

Flutter is a popular open-source mobile application development framework developed by Google. It allows developers to create high- performance, natively compiled applications for mobile, web, and desktop platforms using a single codebase. If you have an existing mobile application that you want to migrate to Flutter, there are several steps involved in the process. Our Flutter migration services typically include the following:

Evaluation of your existing application: Before starting the migration process, it is essential to evaluate your existing application to determine its compatibility with Flutter. This evaluation will help identify any potential roadblocks or challenges that may arise during the migration process.

Planning and strategy development: Once the evaluation is complete, a plan and strategy for the migration process will be developed. This will include determining which features and functionality to migrate first, setting a timeline for the migration, and identifying any potential risks or challenges.

Code migration: The actual migration process involves porting your existing codebase to Flutter. This involves rewriting the code in Dart, the programming language used by Flutter.

UI/UX design: With Flutter, you have the opportunity to redesign your application's user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) to take advantage of Flutter's rich set of widgets and tools.

Testing and quality assurance: Once the migration is complete, thorough testing and quality assurance will be performed to ensure the new application functions properly and meets all requirements. Deployment: The final step involves deploying the migrated application to the appropriate app stores and ensuring it is available for download by users.

Business Problems

While there are potential business problems associated with Flutter migration services, these can be mitigated with careful planning and execution. It is important to work with an experienced team of developers and designers to ensure a successful migration process.

Business Problems

  • Cost: The cost of migrating an existing application to Flutter can be significant, especially if the application is large and complex. The migration process involves rewriting the code in Dart and redesigning the UI/UX, which requires skilled developers and designers.
  • Time: The migration process can take time, and the length of time will depend on the size and complexity of the application. This can cause disruptions to your business, especially if the application is critical to your operations.
  • Compatibility issues: There may be compatibility issues between your existing application and the Flutter platform. This can cause delays in the migration process and may require additional development work to resolve.
  • User experience: While Flutter offers many advantages for UI/UX design, there is a risk that the new design may not be well-received by users. This can impact user adoption and ultimately the success of the application.
  • Third-party integrations: If your existing application integrates with third-party services, there may be compatibility issues that need to be addressed during the migration process. This can require additional development work and may delay the migration process.
  • Learning curve: If your development team is not familiar with Flutter, there will be a learning curve involved in the migration process. This can impact productivity and may require additional training for your team.
Our Approach

Our Approach

  • Analyse your current codebase: The first step in any migration process is to analyse your current codebase thoroughly. This includes identifying the features, libraries, and frameworks that are being used, as well as any custom components or third-party integrations.
  • Plan your migration strategy: Based on your analysis, we plan your migration strategy. This may involve either a complete rewrite of your app in Flutter or a gradual migration, where we migrate one screen or feature at a time.
  • Set up your Flutter environment: Once you have decided to migrate to Flutter, the next step is to set up your Flutter environment. This involves installing the necessary tools, including the Flutter SDK, Android Studio, Xcode, and any other required dependencies.
  • Convert your existing codebase: Depending on your migration strategy, we may need to convert your existing codebase to Flutter. This involves rewriting your code in Dart, the programming language used by Flutter.
  • Test your app: After converting your code, we test your app thoroughly to ensure that it works as expected. This includes testing for bugs, performance issues, and any other problems that may arise during the migration process.
  • Deploy your app: Once you are satisfied with the testing phase, we deploy your app to the app stores.
Customer Outcomes

Customer Outcomes 

  • Improved user experience: Flutter's modern design and development features can lead to an improved user experience. Flutter's reactive framework allows for smooth animations, faster load times, and a more responsive user interface.
  • Increased app performance: Flutter's fast development and compile times, coupled with its native-like performance, can lead to improved app performance. Flutter apps are compiled to native code, resulting in faster load times and smoother performance.
  • Reduced development time and cost: Flutter's single codebase approach allows developers to write code once and deploy it on multiple platforms, such as Android, iOS, and the web. This reduces development time and costs by eliminating the need for multiple codebases and reducing the time required for testing and maintenance.
  • Improved app maintenance: Migrating to Flutter can lead to improved app maintenance. Flutter's hot reload feature allows developers to make changes to the code and see the results in real time, reducing the time required for debugging and testing.
  • Increased developer productivity: Flutter's modern development features, such as hot reload, can lead to increased developer productivity. This allows developers to iterate on code quickly and efficiently, resulting in faster development times and improved app quality.
