I have been reading upon flutter to develop a mobile app and web application for my product, it says it can be achieved in a single codebase, but how is it possible to have a single code base when web UI and mobile UI are drastically different. I am not looking to have the small screen responsive view of my web app(PWA) as mobile application.
I tried a few demo apps from their samples, they basically look like progressive web apps wrapped into mobile application. Is flutter not a good option for what I am trying to achieve.

We are excited to start developing mobile app using Flutter and backend applications that are running on Django with REST APIs. Our understanding is that once a mobile app is completely developed, we can simply launch the UI on a web browser as well with probably minor changes? Is this really true? if it is true, does our mobile app developer have to start coding the app to make it compatible for both mobile, web browser and desktop since from the beginning so that we don´t have to spend extra cycles to make the UI compatible with web browser and desktop? Or is Flutter supposed to be compatible by default for any UI clients ( Web browser, smart devices and desktop)? I would appreciate it if someone can confirm and point me to a relevant article?
Best regards
There ara small adjustments you need to make. For example some plugins are not supported for web of vice versa. So you need to avoid from using them.
Also while building UI, if your developer does not make it responsive, you would have a ugly mobile UI. So my advice is both web and mobile should go on hand to hand to avoid and end product mistakes.
Note that there are even small differences between Android and IOS
Is it possible to integrate PWA apps into flutter applications like displaying web applications through webview in flutter. Can we display the complete PWA app inside a flutter application?
When you create flutter web application it automatically creates a PWA and you can notice it will you launch the website on the phone.
And inside webview if you load a website it will load. In this case it does not matter whether it is PWA .
PWA a just extra functionality that creates a wrapper to install the app in different platform
Flutter supports deploying the web version as a PWA, the details are in their documentation, search for A Progressive Web Application built with Flutter
Ionic was built with mobile in mind - creating a good mobile experience using web technologies. You start out with a web app, so there is the possibility to use it for all 3 platforms. However I’ve never seen anything that resembles a complex web application that uses iconic for both the web and mobile. Will it support the ability to use 3rd party controls such as complex grid controls that may only be used on the web and not in the mobile apps. I’m trying to decide if we use ionic just for mobile and have a completely separate code base for our web application. Any invites would be greatly appreciated!
Basically everything that works on the web also works on mobile devices built with Ionic.
Ionic creates a WebView where javascript code runs. you can use capacitor or cordova to manage native functionality.
So if you have web developers you can do anything you could do as "Mobile Web" but in an app.
Now you can also choose whether to use react, angular or vue.
For example using Ionic with react you can use the VirtualDom and develop exactly as if you were using react on the web.
Instead, using for example React Native you will be forced to use a set of react components (or write new ones) but you will not have the VirtualDom available.
However you can also integrate native code, which Ionic doesn't support.
There are a lot of articles online that cover the subject by comparing competitors:

So yes, you can use all javascript libraries!

What is a hybrid app for mobiles? What is basic architecture to follow while developing? What are the components? What will be the back end and what will be the UI? Is it for only iPhone or can be for any mobile device?
With iOS, you can create an application that combines features of native applications and webpages.
A hybrid application is a native iPhone application that provides most of its structure and functionality through a web viewing area, but also tends to contain standard iOS user interface elements.
A hybrid application gives users access to web content with an element called a web view (described in “Web Views”).
Precisely how you use a web view in your application is up to you, but it’s important to avoid giving users the impression that your application is merely a mini web browser.
A hybrid application should behave and appear like a native iPhone application; it should not draw attention to the fact that it depends upon web sources.
You can create Phonegap app and still using native controls of cocoa for powerful features like Mapkit api, UIWebview (Childbrowser plugin) etc
A hybrid app is a mobile application in which the same app can be worked in different mobile operating systems like iOS, Android, Windows, etc…, and even in browsers (Mozilla, Chrome, IE, etc.. ). It is the same as mobile applications for users, which can be installed from App Store or Google Play store. But technically it’s different, its works with a combination of HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

A hybrid application blends web views (loading a webpage into the app) and native code together to create a single seamless application. In most cases it is faster than developing the entire app in native code, because developing for the web is easier (there are tons of web frameworks and it is just easier to develop good looking content on the web vs via native code, such as swift).
Ex: Amazon uses web views for the products page on the iOS app, being able to reuse the code on iOS, Android and the web saves them a ton of time.
In a hybrid app, the core of the app (navigation, location) are normally done in native code and stuff such as showing images and information is generally done via web views.
Since web views are a web page, you can develop them in any HTML 5 framework you would like to use.
The most important part is to have an app that works and runs super well for your users, and having web views in the app is very tricky, but a huge time saver.
