Google evokes Fuchsia on the sidelines of its I / O 2019 conference

Google Fuchsia made a brief appearance at the I / O 2019 conference. If no ads on the OS supposedly replaced Android were made on the big stage, the name of the project was mentioned during the presentation of novelties for the Flutter SDK development toolkit.

The opening keynote of the Google I / O 2019 conference was rich in announcements, both in terms of hardware and products as well as software and services. It was expected, but the Mountain View firm did not make any announcement about Fuchsia, supposed to be the successor of Android and Chrome OS. In any case, not on the big stage. But the future Google OS has been mentioned in the margins of the event, notes 9To5Google.

Fuchsia discreetly invites herself to the Google I / O conference

This is not a habit at Google, rather discreet on the subject, but the group has indeed publicly recognized the project Fuchsia. This was mentioned in an announcement for Flutter SDK, an application development tool created by Google that now supports a larger number of platforms. "Since its first beta release last year, developers can use Flutter to build mobile apps running on iOS and Android. However, Flutter has always been designed as a versatile interface creation toolkit and also works on Windows, Mac, Fuchsia and even Raspberry Pi, "we learned.

Not really a surprise knowing that according to some indiscretions, Google Fuchsia could run Android applications and potentially from other OS. As a reminder, the supposed plans of the Mountain View firm would be to create a new operating system using its own home kernel (Android uses a Linux kernel) and which could be installed on any device. Can Google succeed where Microsoft has failed? We probably will not know it for a few more years.
