Experimental package for running Flutter apps from a Dart runner, instead of the
C++ runner that is provided by default when you do flutter create.
You might use this to create a Windows Flutter app without requiring a C++
compiler on your system.
At present, this is not much more than a lightweight experiment. It doesn’t
currently support high-DPI scaling, or plugins, or theme changes. It is
therefore not recommended for use with production apps: it’s more a
proof-of-concept.
A sample app that uses it can be found in the example subdirectory. This can be
used to run an existing Flutter app.
For example:
# Create a sample app
C:srcwin32_runner> cd ..
C:src> flutter create simpleapp
C:src> cd simpleapp
# Compile Flutter code and assets to the build subdirectory
C:srcsimpleapp> flutter assemble -dTargetPlatform=windows-x64 --output=build -dBuildMode=release release_bundle_windows_assets
# Compile Dart runner
C:srcsimpleapp> dart compile exe ..win32_runnerexampleflutter_run.dart -o flutter_run.exe
# Run Flutter app
C:srcsimpleapp> flutter_run
Sample results:
