Google already did the talking for both of them. It’s called Flutter.

Ah, yes, the framework from the dominant browser vendor, that happens to eschew everything good about the browser, to achieve marginally-improved typography, by rendering the whole site in a canvas tag. That should certainly be our #1 model for cross-platform development.

I don’t advocate for using web target, Flutter is much nicer than whatever clusterfuck Apple and Google call native toolkits.

Does Google use Flutter for building Gmail, Google or other major mobile apps?

[efxzsh]

Yes they do. Google Pay or Google Earth are using Flutter. They also contribute to Kotlin Multiplatform and use it for Google Workspace (gmail, drive, etc)

Flutter and Kotlin Multiplatform are two different frameworks. Flutter is mainly for cross platform UI. KM is mainly for common-core (or common business logic). My point still stands that these are all bloated and ugly.

Google products are an absolute mess. They create android, KM, and Flutter for mobile development. They also created MLKit, MediaPipe, and TensorFlow for AI. They're all over the place with their solutions

Look for the headline "Flutter at Google"
