* `NS_AVAILABLE_IOS(10_0)` makes us tell our compiler that the method needs to be stamped into the TU but we promise to do stuff in it only on iOS 10.0 and above. * `@availability` ensures that if those methods are called on iOS versions less than 10.0, we will do nothing with it. This guards us against the case where iOS introduced the functionality privately in older versions of iOS.
Flutter Engine
Flutter is Google's mobile app SDK for crafting high-quality native interfaces on iOS and Android in record time. Flutter works with existing code, is used by developers and organizations around the world, and is free and open source.
The Flutter Engine is a portable runtime for hosting Flutter applications. It implements Flutter's core libraries, including animation and graphics, file and network I/O, accessibility support, plugin architecture, and a Dart runtime and compile toolchain. Most developers will interact with Flutter via the Flutter Framework, which provides a modern, reactive framework, and a rich set of platform, layout and foundation widgets.
If you are new to Flutter, then you will find more general information on the Flutter project, including tutorials and samples, on our Web site at Flutter.dev. For specific information about Flutter's APIs, consider our API reference which can be found at the docs.flutter.dev.
Flutter is a fully open source project, and we welcome contributions. Information on how to get started can be found at our contributor guide.
