Cons
Con Still in development
According to the website, Flutter is still in its early stages of development.
Con Based on Dart language
Dart is a Java like language, easy to learn and startup fast for millions of Java developers. BUT if you have to learn it ... it's a con.
Con Dart is unpopular and never gained serious community traction like Kotlin or Java
Con Does not support 32-bit iOS devices
If you plan on targeting iPhone 5, 5C or earlier, you can forget about Flutter.

Con No Android support
They plan to eventually support Android, but for now, they only support iOS.
