Flutter 4.0 Released: What’s New for Mobile Developers

Google has shipped Flutter 4.0, the biggest release since the framework went stable. The headline feature is Dart macros — a compile-time code generation system that eliminates boilerplate for JSON parsing, dependency injection, and reactive state. Riverpod and Bloc both ship updated packages on day one.

Other highlights include a redesigned Material 3 widget catalogue, native Swift interop for iOS, and a 40% reduction in release APK size thanks to a new tree-shaker for fonts and assets.

    Been waiting for Dart macros for two years. This is going to cut my codebase by a third.

    The Material 3 widget update is the feature I’m most excited about. Our design team will finally stop complaining.
