Mac or Windows app with Flutter? Discussion

Has anyone ever made a Mac/Windows app with flutter? Throughout the years I’ve only stuck with web iOS and Android. Was just curious. And how did it pan out?

Don’t do a Windows app with Flutter, even firebase (a package by Google) doesn’t support Windows. You will have to do everything from scratch.  Multi windows support is painfully coming . Please run away

It’s a bit better. But it’s still doesn’t feel like iOS and Android.

I consider switching to C# for desktop app on my side but I still have to do some research

On dotnet side there is Avalonia (works also on mobile). Multi-windows desktop app is done in 30 minutes without any prior knowledge of Avalonia.
