Let’s have a look at the most interesting highlights of this release.
Flutter 1.5 in a nutshell
Breaking changes – Although the Flutter team prefers to avoid making breaking changes, a recent survey of the community showed that developers prefer a breaking change if it means that it improves the API and behavior of Flutter. Therefore, in Flutter 1.5 we see quite a long list of breaking changes. You can find the full list here.
iOS changes – Long list of changes including platformViewId in semantics tree for iOS, support iOS devices reporting pressure data of 0. removed unwanted gap between navigation bar and safe area’s child and several changes to Cupertino localization. See the list here. Another notable update on the iOS front is the support for a recent update to the Apple Store policy. This release also builds all dependencies with the latest Apple SDK.
