flutter-interoperating-with-native-apis

Access device-specific native APIs on Android, iOS, and web from Flutter code. Use FFI to execute high-performance native code or utilize existing C/C++ libraries without the overhead of asynchronous Platform Channels. Use Platform Channels when you need to interact with platform-specific APIs (e.g., Battery, Bluetooth, OS-level services) using the platform's native language. Always prefer package:pigeon over raw MethodChannel implementations for complex or frequently used APIs. Use Platform Views to embed native UI components (e.g., Google Maps, native video players) into the Flutter widget tree. Evaluate the trade-offs between the two rendering modes and select the appropriate one: Flutter Web supports compiling to WebAssembly (Wasm) for improved performance and multi-threading. Use this workflow when binding to a C/C++ library. Use this workflow when you need to call Kotlin/Swift APIs from Dart.
