Flutter on HarmonyOS

Flutter is a popular open-source UI development framework created by Google. It allows developers to build high-performance, cross-platform mobile, web, and desktop applications using a single codebase. HarmonyOS, on the other hand, is a distributed operating system developed by Huawei that is designed to work across multiple devices and platforms.

While Flutter was initially developed for iOS and Android applications, there have been efforts to make it compatible with HarmonyOS as well. This allows developers to leverage the power of Flutter’s UI framework on Huawei devices running HarmonyOS.

To use Flutter on HarmonyOS, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Install Flutter: First, you need to install Flutter on your development machine. You can follow the official Flutter documentation for detailed instructions.
  2. Create a Flutter Project: Once Flutter is installed, use the Flutter CLI tool to create a new Flutter project.
  3. Configure Project for HarmonyOS: In order to make your Flutter project compatible with HarmonyOS, you need to add the HarmonyOS platform support. This can be done by modifying the project’s configuration file (pubspec.yaml) and adding the necessary dependencies.
  4. Build and Run: After configuring the project, you can build and run your Flutter app on HarmonyOS devices using the Flutter CLI commands. Make sure you have a connected device or emulator for testing.

Here’s an example of how the pubspec.yaml file may look like after adding HarmonyOS support: 

    
      name: my_flutter_app
      description: A Flutter app for HarmonyOS
      version: 1.0.0

      dependencies:
        flutter:
          sdk: flutter
        
        harmonyos:
          sdk: harmonyos

This example showcases the addition of the “harmonyos” package as a dependency for Flutter applications targeting HarmonyOS.

With Flutter on HarmonyOS, developers can create visually stunning and performant applications that run seamlessly on Huawei devices. The compatibility between Flutter and HarmonyOS expands the reach of Flutter apps to a wider user base and offers a unified development experience for developers.
