Building a Flutter application for mobile and desktop

Recently I've found out about Flutter being able to support desktop applications as well. I'm just curious how far this technology is and if any of you had success porting your mobile apps to the desktop. If so, what was the experience like? Are desktop-specific features like windows, mouse interaction, desktop notifications, etc. supported?

Flutter for Desktop was launched as alpha build at flutter interact 2019. The official documentation is available at https://flutter.dev/desktop

The following video describes how to run your flutter app on a MacOS You can watch the following video is you don't wanna read the docs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tEdoVuC1uQ&t=23s

(Skip to 0:48 seconds, as slight noise occurs for few seconds)

A simple app is created using android studio and we can easily see the options available to port the code to all platforms. For example, if you create a default app using android studio, the mouse event will help you to tap on a button and increase the count.

Regarding the experience, it feels good to write a single code and port/deploy on any platform. Using VSCode or android studio, both are helpful.

It was demonstrated at the Flutter Live event in December, but nothing official has been released that I'm aware of.
