no, aeternity has their own libraries and sdks. take a look at GitHub - aeternity/aepp-sdk-js: JavaScript SDK for the æternity blockchain

sure, you can use the javascript-sdk to create a mobile aepp. this has been done with the base aepp and with the superhero wallet, too:

GitHub - superhero-com/superhero-wallet: Superhero Wallet – More than just a way to receive, store & send tokens on the æternity blockchain
GitHub - aeternity/aepp-base: Base æpp

some other community member wrote a mobile application in Dart:

GitHub - sunbx/box-aepp-mobile: This is the magic box for the Aeternal blockchain decentralization aepp , Written with the Flutter language, support Android, iOS source code

I think it was @Baixin.chain. maybe you could outsource that Dart code into an independent library?

@marco.chain @mghase
The underlying Box AEPP is also JS-SDK.
If you want to check the balance, call the contract, etc., you can also use the JS SDK, you can use the uni-app(based on Vue) can be better support.

Ok I thought that Box Aepp is using Dart (which could be used with to develop with Flutter). Is it using Dart for API calls and the JS-sdk for the rest? @Baixin.chain didn’t have a deeper look yet.

@mghase You’d have to develop the functionality on your own then if you really want to use Flutter (Dart). Maybe you can also just use the JS-sdk with Flutter. I am not really familiar with Flutter to be honest.
