Flutter is still missing some more advanced features and might not be the best solution for more sophisticated apps:

Flutter is still a relatively new platform which comes with its own set of issues. It’s still under constant development, so some edge cases might not have solutions that are ready for implementation. We will see whether that’s going to change soon enough, but you might want to wait till then to use Flutter if you’re not…

Dart’s strong integration with Flutter can be a disadvantage if developers prefer other frameworks or platforms. Using Dart outside the Flutter ecosystem may not offer the same level of support and resources.

Developers with experience in other languages may need to invest time in learning Dart’s syntax, features, and best practices. Adapting to Dart’s ecosystem and tools can also pose a learning curve.

While Dart has gained popularity, it still lags behind other programming languages like JavaScript in terms of adoption and community size. This may result in fewer resources and community support compared to more widely adopted languages.
