Is Flutter cross-compiler?

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.

“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.

Flutter is no longer a cross-platform framework — it is something more.
