This package is deprecated in favor of aur/flutter which now contains all required artifacts on its own. This PKGBUILD will be kept as is in order to ensure seamless builds of old Flutter version in future.

@WithTheBraid Still getting the same "Null check operator used on a null value" error with the updated packages.

Hello again, I have tried to install the package in three ways: using the package manager (GUI), cloning and doing makepkg -sifC and using trizen (the last one is the one I use in most cases, it always works well for me). In all three cases the same error results that I have been reporting.

Please, group all flutter packages into one single group called flutter, so we can uninstall easily with one command like sudo pacman -Rns flutter...

Getting the same circular dependency error if I try to install flutter (yay -S flutter), but aur/flutter installs fine.

Trying to install with yay gives me a circular dependency error over and over again:

 -> aur dep warn:flutter-engine-common-google-bin flutter-sky-engine-google-bin circular dependencies not allowed
 -> aur dep warn:flutter-engine-common-google-bin flutter-material-fonts-google-bin circular dependencies not allowed

@juaji May I as how you built the package ? Did you use the -fC flags (force rebuild and clean source tree) when calling makepkg ?

Hi, unfortunately error I previuosly reported still occurs. Again I include the crash report.

BTW I also removed Gradle cache (by doing rm -rf ~/.gradle) as suggested.

Flutter crash report.
Please report a bug at https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues.

I fixed it by adding unzip to makedepends.

You might need to empty your Gradle cache with the recent update. This can usually be done by rm -rf ~/.gradle. Beware not to delete anything you don't want to and ensure you didn't configure the Gradle cache to be populated at a different place.

Reason is that I had to patch Flutter not to write Gradle files to its installation folder but rather use a workaround to use the user Gradle cache dir.
