This week in Flutter #111: Add widgets to your phone home screen in Flutter

One of the areas that Flutter does not cover compared to native iOS and Android development is the possibility to add home screen widgets. On iOS and on Android, you can add app-specific widgets to your phone home screen but this cannot be done with just Flutter. So it is nice to see that the Flutter team takes these framework limitations into consideration and created a codelab to help developers do that.

See some examples of how to properly integrate and interact with web views, and learn how to use JavaScript to resolve display issues.
