# Classes

The following classes are available globally.

- `FlutterAppDelegate`

  `UIApplicationDelegate` subclass for simple apps that want default behavior.

  This class implements the following behaviors:

  - Status bar touches are forwarded to the key window’s root view `FlutterViewController`, in order to trigger scroll to top.
  - Keeps the Flutter connection open in debug mode when the phone screen locks.

  App delegates for Flutter applications are not required to inherit from this class. Developers of custom app delegate classes should copy and paste code as necessary from FlutterAppDelegate.mm.

      class FlutterStandardTypedData : NSObject

- `FlutterStandardBigInteger`

  Unavailable

  Unavailable on 2018-08-31. Deprecated on 2018-01-09. FlutterStandardBigInteger was needed because the Dart 1.0 int type had no size limit. With Dart 2.0, the int type is a fixed-size, 64-bit signed integer. If you need to communicate larger integers, use NSString encoding instead.

  An arbitrarily large integer value, used with `FlutterStandardMessageCodec` and `FlutterStandardMethodCodec`.

  #### Declaration

- `FlutterDartProject`

  A set of Flutter and Dart assets used by a `FlutterEngine` to initialize execution.

  See more

  #### Declaration

  Objective-C

      @interface FlutterDartProject : NSObject

  Swift

      class FlutterDartProject : NSObject

- `FlutterEngine`

  The FlutterEngine class coordinates a single instance of execution for a `FlutterDartProject`. It may have zero or one `FlutterViewController` at a time, which can be specified via `-setViewController:`. `FlutterViewController`‘s `initWithEngine` initializer will automatically call `-setViewController:` for itself.

  A FlutterEngine can be created independently of a `FlutterViewController` for headless execution. It can also persist across the lifespan of multiple `FlutterViewController` instances to maintain state and/or asynchronous tasks (such as downloading a large file).

  A FlutterEngine can also be used to prewarm the Dart execution environment and reduce the latency of showing the Flutter screen when a `FlutterViewController` is created and presented. See http://flutter.dev/docs/development/add-to-app/performance for more details on loading performance.

  Alternatively, you can simply create a new `FlutterViewController` with only a `FlutterDartProject`. That `FlutterViewController` will internally manage its own instance of a FlutterEngine, but will not guarantee survival of the engine beyond the life of the ViewController.

  A newly initialized FlutterEngine will not actually run a Dart Isolate until either `-runWithEntrypoint:` or `-runWithEntrypoint:libraryURI` is invoked. One of these methods must be invoked before calling `-setViewController:`.

  #### Declaration

  Objective-C

      @interface FlutterEngine
          : NSObject <FlutterTextureRegistry, FlutterPluginRegistry>

  Swift

      class FlutterEngine : NSObject, FlutterTextureRegistry, FlutterPluginRegistry

- `FlutterEngineGroupOptions`

  Options that control how a FlutterEngine should be created.

  See more

  #### Declaration

  Objective-C

      @interface FlutterEngineGroupOptions : NSObject

  Swift

      class FlutterEngineGroupOptions : NSObject

- `FlutterEngineGroup`

  Represents a collection of FlutterEngines who share resources which allows them to be created with less time const and occupy less memory than just creating multiple FlutterEngines.

  Deleting a FlutterEngineGroup doesn’t invalidate existing FlutterEngines, but it eliminates the possibility to create more FlutterEngines in that group.

  Warning

  This class is a work-in-progress and may change.

  #### Declaration

  Objective-C

      @interface FlutterEngineGroup : NSObject

  Swift

      class FlutterEngineGroup : NSObject

- `FlutterHeadlessDartRunner`

  Deprecated

  FlutterEngine should be used rather than FlutterHeadlessDartRunner

  The deprecated FlutterHeadlessDartRunner runs Flutter Dart code with a null rasterizer, and no native drawing surface. It is appropriate for use in running Dart code e.g. in the background from a plugin.

  Most callers should prefer using `FlutterEngine` directly; this interface exists for legacy support.
