You do know that the Flutter SDK does not correctly generate correct app launcher icons, right? Let me show you how to get the correct app launcher icons generated.

The Google engineering staff is building these front-end SDK frameworks:

- Google Web Toolkit

- Android SDK

- Flutter SDK

- Polymer

- Angular

With five front ends being developed, the Google engineering staff is resource constrained and thus cannot do everything in the Flutter SDK that they want and have to prioritize which features are implemented in the Flutter SDK. This is one of the reasons why each new Material Design spec edition takes 2–4 years to be fully implemented in the Flutter SDK.

Why Is This DevOPS

And the obvious question is why is this DevOPS? Let’s look at a devOPS diagram and see why:
