What is the difference between hot reload, hot restart, and full restart?

Show Answer
  • Hot reload loads code changes into the VM and re-builds the widget tree, preserving the app state; it doesn’t rerun main() or initState().
  • Hot restart loads code changes into the VM, and restarts the Flutter app, losing the app state. 
  • Full restart restarts the iOS, Android, or web app. This takes longer because it also recompiles the Java / Kotlin / ObjC / Swift code. On the web, it also restarts the Dart Development Compiler.
