Cross-compilation is the act of compiling code for one computer system (often known as the target) on a different system, called the host. It’s a very useful technique, for instance when the target system is too small to host the compiler and all relevant files.

Flutter is no longer a cross-platform framework — it is something more.
Read moreHow is Flutter app compiled?
Source: Based on Flutter System Architecture Using the Dart language allows Flutter to compile the source code ahead-of-time to native code. The engine’s C/C++code is compiled with Android’s NDK or iOS’ LLVM. Both pieces are wrapped in a “runner” Android and iOS project, resulting in an apk or ipa file respectively.
Read moreHow does cross compilation work?
A cross-compiler is one that compiles binaries for architectures other than its own, such as compiling ARM binaries on a Intel’s x86 processor. A “cross compiler” executes in one environment and generates code for another . A “native compiler” generates code for its own execution environment.
Read moreWhy is cross compilation hard?
“building a cross-compiler is significantly harder than building a compiler that targets the platform it runs on.” The problem exists due to the way libraries are built and accessed . In the normal situation all the libraries are located in a specific spot, and are used by all apps on that system.
