After a few attempts to restart working on projects for Geosyncracy I am now able to get back to focusing on improving my existing apps and exploring new ones. After investigating how mobile development technologies have evolved, since first publishing HandsfreeETA and Karaoke Cat, it was obvious that continuing to use the same platforms was not feasible. Both Cordova and jQuery mobile are not going to be supported so a new approach for cross platform apps to run on Android and IOS was needed.
The technology that I will be diving into is produced by Google and is called Flutter which uses the Dart language. While I'm an experienced software developer I know nothing about this new platform. My approach will be to take a few courses to jump start my ability to redevelop my previous apps using Flutter/Dart. I'll write additional posts to report on my progress and whether I felt this was the best alternative for writing mobile cross platform apps.
