Flutter used to be such a great experience, but something happened ~6 months ago that totally derailed it.

It brings my late 2016 MBP to a crawl if I am building on iOS simulator.

After reading online about it being related to Metal, and needing to switch flutter channels, trying that, and still seeing no success... I just gave up on Flutter (for now).

Maybe Flutter 2 has resolved this?

I would love to learn more about your experience. Would you be willing to file an issue and either post it here or CC me on it?

This closed issue from 2018 appears to be the same issue I was experiencing in ~mid 2020.

FWIW, I was also using Rive animations in my app.
