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.

@Mccurly essentially you are bumping by one the allowed version.

extra/dart was recently updated to 3.12.0, and this flutter package currently requires 3.11.X.

Now I'm not sure if this requirement is forwarded from flutter itself, or if it's just a packaging protection to avoid upgrading dart just in case.

It looks like flutter at that version only required dart >= 3.9:

https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/3.41.2/pubspec.yaml#L4

In that case it should be safe to relax the requirement here (like you did, or by actually changing the dartmax version).

Does this PKGBUILD here,

_dartmin="3.11.0"
_dartmax="3.12.0"

(...)

makedepends=(
    "dart>=${_dartmin}"
    "dart<${_dartmax}"
    "jq"
    "gradle"
    "unzip"
    "tar"
)

(...) build for any of you?

I only managed to build it if I changed the makedepends to "read":

makedepends=(
    "dart>${_dartmin}"
    "dart<=${_dartmax}"
    "jq"
    "gradle"
    "unzip"
    "tar"
)

Note the swapped '=' from the _dartmin condition to the _dartmax'one

The question remains, though, will this be hazardous?

@jemorgan I would say so too. The pinned comment is very confusing. This is aur/flutter? Are we supposed to switch to aur/flutter-bin?

I don't understand, where is aur/flutter? Isn't this package aur/flutter??

this just messed up my existing setup... I don't understand, why does is it separated in so many packages, also it's outdated.

@J21 With FVM, you can quickly install multiple Flutter and Dart versions. You can set a project-specific version so that the correct version is used in that project directory. I use it this way and it works really cleanly. I’d recommend it to you as well.

@J4UNE 10x sounds great so i just take everything else from this except flutter itself?

Use FVM (Flutter Version Manager) instead.

I keep getting

 Execution failed for task ':gradle:compileKotlin'.
 > java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: /usr/lib/flutter/packages/flutter_tools/gradle/.kotlin/sessions/kotlin-compiler-7863235143730812401.salive

The Kotlin session files in /usr/lib/flutter are corrupted but require root access to fix.

Fixed it using the comment below that said

Creating the folder /usr/lib/flutter/packages/flutter_tools/gradle/.kotlin and chowning it to my user worked just fine.

i.e.

1. Create the missing directory: sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/flutter/packages/flutter_tools/gradle/.kotlin
2. Change ownership to your user: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /usr/lib/flutter/packages/flutter_tools/gradle/.kotlin
3. Set proper permissions: chmod 755 /usr/lib/flutter/packages/flutter_tools/gradle/.kotlin
