Window.viewInsets is the set of window-relative insets that describe the area of the window that an application may want to treat as effectively reducing the size of the content. Typically this is due to system UI that fully obscures underlying content, such as the keyboard. This area differs from padding in that padding is the set of insets that describe the area of the window that may be partially (or fully) obscured by system UI or physical intrusions into the view area (e.g. iPhone X sensor housing, status bar, or the iPhone X home indicator widget). This patch does not yet enable the iOS bottom edge safe area. Once the framework has been updated to use viewInsets for bottom-edge occlusions (today, the keyboard), the bottom safe area will be enabled and framework patches that depend on it, landed.
Flutter Engine
Flutter is a new way to build high-performance, cross-platform mobile apps. Flutter is optimized for today's, and tomorrow's, mobile devices. We are focused on low-latency input and high frame rates on Android and iOS.
The Flutter Engine is the runtime environment for hosting Flutter applications. Most developers will interact with Flutter via the Flutter Framework and APIs, which run inside the engine.
Flutter is an early-stage open-source project. We are still adding features. However, you can build demos and examples today. We hope you try it out and send us feedback.
