Expo like tool for flutter

[no-1ne]

Hi folks, thank you for amazing flutter.

React native ecosystem has snack.expo.io and a companion Expo android/ios client where users can test the app on their actual device.

A similar thing for flutter would be awesome.
Considering the modular architecture of flutter, I hope it's doable and it would be an amazing tool for people to get started, experiment and share (kind of like a flutterbin (also considering humming bird, it would make a perfect UX as well)

Maybe something like https://dartpad.dartlang.org for flutter.

Something like this, in my opinion, would be amazing for Flutter. The only reason I am holding off on switching to Flutter from React Native is because I need to test stuff on an actual device, and I don't want to have to connect it to my computer and build it every single time. Would love to see somebody create an Expo-like solution for this problem.

Edit: I no longer think this is necessary. There is already extensive tooling available for building on the iOS simulator and building to a device, and I don't think Expo is necessary with the ability to hot reload.

Something like expo.io would be awesome.

This would fall inline with roadmap

"Making it easy to try Flutter without installing the full tooling and runtime stack"

Looking forward to hummingbird details, never have been so exciting times, a possible holy grail of development

Hope there will also be an "one more thing" where you announce tooling to try flutter without installing it. Once again looking forward and good luck for #IO19

Expo is so cool and has a lot of SDK embeded. https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/sdk/overview/ Otherwise, it has a complete CLI for you from dev to publish.

With expo we can test our react native apps on ios or android regardless of the os we are using
a feature like this in flutter would be awesome

[yogesh-aggarwal]

Please the flutter team brings this!!!

[jmfantin2]

looking forward!!! expo is the only thing holding me with react native!

[JovanMwesigwa]

please flutter make it happen

[JorgeOsorio97]

If flutter had something like expo I would leave react-native in a second

[isacmoura]

expo.io in Flutter could be awesome

[aifrosals]

It will help a lot, if flutter app would run on real device using a service like expo.io directly

[Sunbreak]

It will help a lot, if flutter app would run on real device using a service like expo.io directly

We've got something similar working internally. Hope one day we may open source

[stevemosiori]

Guys open source that thing please 😊

[LiamDotPro]

Would really make me consider leaving react native.

[iheathers]

I wish the same. Make it happen flutter team.

[saturnavt]

We really need this, will be awesome!!!

[soportedontec]

we need this, but now please, i mean now!!! its a must.

[k-frankov]

Would be great to have a tool similar to Expo in Flutter!

[tabvn]

Any good news :?

[fabioselau077]

Any good news :?

i not see, you?

[tabvn]

Any good news :?

i not see, you?

so still stick with React-native for now :D , because i usually create apps for clients and give them testing and fix quickly rather than submit to apple testfight.

[fabiogabrielcb]

Yesss, we need flutter expo!!

[pontino]

I'm associating with that!!

[Digolodollarz]

Still waiting for this :-(

[hberkayozdemir]

Come on guys we need this.

[macelux]

We actually do need this! I just can't wait for expo for flutter

[AbdullahGhanem]

[mcgtrt]

It would be a great if we have it, please Flutter team, make a Flexpo!

[thepirateboy]

SOMEONE, MAKE IT HAPPEN PLEASE.

Flutter with expo would be inevitable.

[arwebSE]

still waiting for something like this. anyone have anything similar that's working right now?

[Emmanuel-code]

Let me also add my voice...
i use a low end pc, so i am not able to use an emulator. So a USB connection is required to test your app(ios/android(****** MacBook is expensive)).
but unfortunately somehow pc doesn't recognize My device and sometimes when it does, a small torch disconnects device from pc..... but with something like EXPO like for flutter, i wont need to worry about USB connection or distancing my device from pc. HENCE I STILL AM AT REACTNATIVE................................................
hurry, we need it now.......

[pratiksanyaja1998]

It's a cool idea. We need expo alternative in flutter.

[itfat]

Need expo for flutter, it's a really cool feature.

[Farazkhantarakai]

[SOG-web]

Please we really need this feature. It will be a game changer

[SOG-web]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[mesaglam]

still waiting

[surajtrioency]

it will be much easier to build apps if we have tools like expo in flutter !

[YahyaBekirCanevi]

This feature will bring a lot of value to flutter, so we need this!

[fawzibazari]

hell yea we need this !!!

[luga97]

As a windows/linux app developer one of the main problems for me is get a solution to work arround IOS, if something like expo Go exist for flutter, without doubt, will be the differentiating tool for this framework. Please bring this for us!

[luisgutie]

Is there any tool like expo go for flutter? If there is not, build it. I think every one would come from that garbage called react native to flutter

[Tibi19]

I currently don't have access to a macbook and need to create an app with expo and react native. If flutter would have something similar, I'd change in an instant!
