PlatformIs class

A universal platform checker.

Can be used to check active physical Flutter platform on all platforms.

To check what host platform the app is running on use:

  • PlatformIs.android
  • PlatformIs.iOS
  • PlatformIs.macOS
  • PlatformIs.windows
  • PlatformIs.linux
  • PlatformIs.fuchsia

To check the device type use:

  • PlatformIs.mobile (Android or iOS)
  • PlatformIs.desktop (Windows, macOS or Linux)

Currently Fuchsia is not considered mobile nor desktop, even if it might be so in the future.

To check if the Flutter application is running on Web you can use:

  • PlatformIs.web

Alternatively the Flutter foundation compile time constant kIsWeb also works well for that.

The platform checks are supported independently on web. You can use PlatformIs windows, iOS, macOS, Android and Linux to check what the host platform is when you are running a Flutter Web application.

Checking if we are running on a Fuchsia host in a Web browser, is not yet fully supported. If running in a Web browser on Fuchsia, PlatformIs.web will be true, but PlatformIs.fuchsia will be false. Future versions, when Fuchsia is released, may fix this.
