CupertinoApp class

An application that uses Cupertino design.

A convenience widget that wraps a number of widgets that are commonly required for an iOS-design targeting application. It builds upon a WidgetsApp by iOS specific defaulting such as fonts and scrolling physics.

The CupertinoApp configures the top-level Navigator to search for routes in the following order:

  1. For the / route, the home property, if non-null, is used.

  2. Otherwise, the routes table is used, if it has an entry for the route.

  3. Otherwise, onGenerateRoute is called, if provided. It should return a non-null value for any valid route not handled by home and routes.

  4. Finally if all else fails onUnknownRoute is called.

If home, routes, onGenerateRoute, and onUnknownRoute are all null, and builder is not null, then no Navigator is created.

This widget also configures the observer of the top-level Navigator (if any) to perform Hero animations.

The CupertinoApp widget isn't a required ancestor for other Cupertino widgets, but many Cupertino widgets could depend on the CupertinoTheme widget, which the CupertinoApp composes. If you use Material widgets, a MaterialApp also creates the needed dependencies for Cupertino widgets.

The CupertinoApp automatically creates a DefaultSelectionStyle with selectionColor sets to CupertinoThemeData.primaryColor with 0.2 opacity and cursorColor sets to CupertinoThemeData.primaryColor.

Use this widget with caution on Android since it may produce behaviors Android users are not expecting such as:

  • Pages will be dismissible via a back swipe.
  • Scrolling past extremities will trigger iOS-style spring overscrolls.
  • The San Francisco font family is unavailable on Android and can result in undefined font behavior.

This example shows how to create a CupertinoApp that disables the "debug" banner with a home route that will be displayed when the app is launched.

The CupertinoApp displays a CupertinoPageScaffold

link
const CupertinoApp(
  home: CupertinoPageScaffold(
    navigationBar: CupertinoNavigationBar(
      middle: Text('Home'),
    ),
    child: Center(child: Icon(CupertinoIcons.share)),
  ),
  debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
)

This example shows how to create a CupertinoApp that uses the routes Map to define the "home" route and an "about" route.
link
CupertinoApp(
  routes: <String, WidgetBuilder>{
    '/': (BuildContext context) {
      return const CupertinoPageScaffold(
        navigationBar: CupertinoNavigationBar(
          middle: Text('Home Route'),
        ),
        child: Center(child: Icon(CupertinoIcons.share)),
      );
    },
    '/about': (BuildContext context) {
      return const CupertinoPageScaffold(
        navigationBar: CupertinoNavigationBar(
          middle: Text('About Route'),
        ),
        child: Center(child: Icon(CupertinoIcons.share)),
      );
    }
  },
)

This example shows how to create a CupertinoApp that defines a theme that will be used for Cupertino widgets in the app.

The CupertinoApp displays a CupertinoPageScaffold with orange-colored icons

link
const CupertinoApp(
  theme: CupertinoThemeData(
    brightness: Brightness.dark,
    primaryColor: CupertinoColors.systemOrange,
  ),
  home: CupertinoPageScaffold(
    navigationBar: CupertinoNavigationBar(
      middle: Text('CupertinoApp Theme'),
    ),
    child: Center(child: Icon(CupertinoIcons.share)),
  ),
)

See also:

  • CupertinoPageScaffold, which provides a standard page layout default with nav bars.
  • Navigator, which is used to manage the app's stack of pages.
  • CupertinoPageRoute, which defines an app page that transitions in an iOS-specific way.
  • WidgetsApp, which defines the basic app elements but does not depend on the Cupertino library.
