Objective-C/Swift Interop is Here! **[QuickBird Studios](https://daily.dev/sources/quickbirdstudios)** · 10 min read · 4 upvotes · 0 comments ## Summary Objective-C/Swift Interop is a feature in Dart 2.18 that allows developers to directly call native code on iOS from their Dart codebase. This article explores the use of Objective-C/Swift Interop to eliminate the need for platform-channels. It discusses the problem of relying on platform channels, introduces Objective-C/Swift Interop, provides an example of calling an iOS function using Objective-C/Swift Interop, and mentions the limitations of the feature. The article also mentions the upcoming implementation of JNI for Android and speculates on the future of Swift Interop in Flutter development. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
