Flutter in iOS Simulator will drain my laptop's battery in an hour. It's quite frustrating. Pre-pandemic, I often worked in cafes and libraries and purchased a long power cable to use when I need to work with Flutter and can't get a seat next to an outlet.

I think Flutter Team (and most ppl at Google) are entirely focused on pushing out new features which they can cite on their performance review docs to get higher pay. Few of them focus on user needs. This is why Flutter built Web and Desktop support before finishing Mobile. Flutter Mobile things left undone: no high-quality location module, long-standing bug in camera module on Android, missing Cupertino widgets, a few missing Material widgets (date-time picker), critical info missing from docs, and missing non-trivial examples.
