    A New Era for App Design (and What it Means for Flutter)

    Flutter is decoupling Material and Cupertino UI libraries from its core SDK, moving them to independent packages on pub.dev. This change enables faster updates for UI components, gives developers more flexibility in choosing design systems, and creates equal opportunities for third-party UI libraries. The move positions Flutter as a more modular framework that can adapt to new design trends like Apple's Liquid Glass and Google's Material 3 Expressive without being constrained by SDK release cycles.
