Google’s Fuchsia OS Confirmed to Have Android App Support via Android Runtime

This makes perfect sense, it would be naive to think that Flutter would be the only way to write apps for Fuchsia. Having such a hard break in compatibility would only succeed is tanking the new platform for consumers.

fuchsia apps use a different runtime ie part of the runtime ie the rendering part is in flutter in plain sight

from the web demos I have seen of fuchsia running flutter its the same UX as android ..different apis that's all and way faster rending pipeline via flutter rendering engine

Actually Fuchsia is getting an UI abstraction layer for multiple UI engines, where Flutter is just yet another UI.

Guess what will happen afterwards.

What will happen afterwards? Will it become the only UI?

Here is Scenic, the UI agnostic scene graphic composition engine.

Here is fuchsia-ui, an UI prototype done in Rust, remains to be seen if it really only meant for the Ermine session shell.

I bet Flutter will either be yet another UI framework and then the one with market adoption wins, or it will be rebooted somehow.
