I've been using Flutter for a few weeks now and i finally feel comfortable to start recreating my project using it. I recently tried adding the cloud firestore plugin version 0.3.2 and encountered this compile error.

For anyone else who encounters this, just channel the flutter channel from 'beta' to 'master' using the command: flutter channel master.
It should work fine after that
