Windows Deployment

[cjimenez]

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.

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.

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.
