Hey Flet developers, we’ve got something exciting to share — Flet 0.25.0 is officially released!

The biggest news? No more Kivy for iOS and Android packaging. No more dealing with frustrating Python binary dependencies — Flet now uses its own custom Python runtime, so your app builds are easier than ever. Plus, we’ve added loads of new features like better permissions control, faster rebuilds, and even a lightweight Linux client that skips the bloat.

Let’s dive into all the cool stuff Flet 0.25.0 has to offer! 🚀

Flet packaging update

The problem

When you package your Flet program in Python to run on a mobile device (or desktop) the resulting bundle (.apk, .ipa, .exe, .app) contains your Python program, Python interpreter and Python Standard Library.

If your program uses only Python standard library then packaging process is relatively easy - Flet zips your code and combines Flutter app together with Python interpreter and standard library both compiled for the target platform: Android or iOS.

However, problems may arise when your Flet program uses third-party packages, with thousands of them published on PyPI or Conda.
