Windows Deployment

cjimenez — Tue, 26 Nov 2024 18:18:30 GMT

This is a question for the developers. Right now the Flutter Maps SDK only supports deployment to IOS and Android. I was wondering when the SDK will support deployment to Windows and if that is part of the roadmap at all?

I'm going to ask my related question here. What about web?
I hope the roadmap is to cover all flutter targets.

Windows is something we've looked at and are considering, but are currently blocked on Flutter supporting the PlatformView on Windows - https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/31713. This is needed to render the native map view.

For anyone out there interested in Windows deployment, please reach out so we can gauge the level of interest. I'd also like to hear about types of devices and applications you all are looking to build. Our early investigation of desktop platforms suggests that Flutter may not have as rich of a suite of desktop tooling as a .NET WPF app would, but touch screen surface or toughbook style apps may do just fine.

Hey Duncan,

It might be better to post this as a separate question, just to keep things tidy. I think some individuals and orgs may have more interest in Web or Windows, and the amount of work to bring them to life is significantly different.

Hi Guys,
I wanted to know if there is any progress or scheduled plan to support desktop applications, specially windows.
Just for the reference, I am looking to use the geodatabase and render styles to the feature layers into the arcGIS map via Flutter SDK for windows application as well, with the same codebase of mobile apps.

Hi there, we don't have any real updates or concrete plans currently for extending support for additional deployment platforms. Our focus is currently on reaching parity with our other mobile SDKs.

That said, we only understand the demand for desktop deployment through feedback - so appreciate you sharing your use case and requirements.

Out of interest, would this be a "traditional" desktop Windows application you'd be looking to deploy, or more of a touch screen Surface / Toughbook device?
