We announced the first ArcGIS Maps SDK for Flutter beta<\/a>\u00a0back in April, giving developers a first look at our new SDK for building cross-platform native mobile apps with ArcGIS capabilities. Since then, we\u2019ve seen lots of interest in the beta from you, and it\u2019s been great to have users, both new to ArcGIS and familiar with ArcGIS technology, giving us feedback and sharing app prototypes.<\/p>\n

Now we are excited to announce that the second update of the Flutter Maps SDK beta is available. Read on to learn more about what\u2019s new, and about our plans for the first production release in November!<\/p>\n

If you still haven\u2019t tried out the Flutter Maps SDK beta, you can sign up for it via Esri\u2019s Early Adopter site<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

What\u2019s been happening since the first beta release?<\/h2>\n

We spent the last four months working hard to bring you beta 2, focusing on bug fixes and homing in on the best patterns and practices for using ArcGIS capabilities with Flutter. We\u2019ve also been listening to all your feedback and requests in the Early Adopter\u2019s forums to help us prioritize features for this update and solidify our roadmap for the future of this SDK.<\/p>\n

In addition, as we prepare for our first production-ready release in November, a key driver is to ensure the engineering is in place to deliver the same levels of quality and reliability in the Flutter SDK that developers have grown to expect from our other Native Maps SDKs.<\/p>\n

We also recently delivered our first livestream on the Esri Developer\u2019s YouTube channel, where we introduced the Flutter Maps SDK beta and its capabilities, along with updates on the beta 2 release and beyond. You can watch the recording of that below.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"youtube","start_time":"0","end_time":"","youtube_video_url":"
