Youtube_player_flutter: Dependencies need updating: flutter_inappwebview

[jimmyff]

Please update flutter_inappwebview to version 5. As you are using version 4, this relies on an old version of uuid (2.0) which is causing problems with newer dart packages.

Any workaround at present? (Other than undoing the dependency journey that was migration to Flutter 2)

[jimmyff]

Not that I have found, I tried dependency overrides but had no luck due to breaking changes introduced in newer versions.

Really hoping @sarbagyastha will update the package soon.

[jimmyff]

Found a PR with the update: https://github.com/sarbagyastha/youtube_player_flutter/pull/449 - I'm going to test this now

[MeAtPros]

@jimmyff when do you plan to implement it?

[jonafeucht]

There is a fork for youtube_player_iframe which fixes your problem.

@jonatadashi that was my plan, then realized I am using youtube_player_flutter too. So there a need for an upgrade in youtube_player_flutter too :(

[jimmyff]

@MeAtPros I'm not implementing the change (I've previously sent PRs but @sarbagyastha doesn't tend to accept them). I'm just utilising the fix PR sent by filipedfs here: https://github.com/sarbagyastha/youtube_player_flutter/pull/449. I've forked his change and using it like so (I suggest you fork your own rather than using mine):

dependency_overrides:
  youtube_player_iframe:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/jimmyff/youtube_player_flutter.git
      path: packages/youtube_player_iframe

This will tide me over until @sarbagyastha accepts the PRs or updates the package himself.

fwiw, I recommend using @popshootjapan 's fork (master branch) for now. @filipedfs 's fork (migrate-null-safety branch) does not include updating inappwebview for the youtube_player_flutter package (only the iframe package), and when I added that update to its pubspec.yaml, I got build-time errors.

@popshootjapan 's fork ran fine, and includes a bunch of (hopefully sound!?) changes to support null safety.

dependency_overrides:
  youtube_player_flutter:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/popshootjapan/youtube_player_flutter.git
      path: packages/youtube_player_flutter

@sarbagyastha, with the last commit being 3 months ago, and no apparent movement here, what's the story on maintenance for this repo? Are you looking for community support in reviewing and merging PRs? I need something that I can count on in production.

__UPDATE__: One of the changes that @popshootjapan made for null safety was throwing a runtime error for me. I made my own fork and a couple of changes, and this is now working:

dependency_overrides:
  youtube_player_flutter:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/willhaslett/youtube_player_flutter.git
      path: packages/youtube_player_flutte

[sarbagyastha]

I was occupied with other stuffs for last couple of months. I'm planning to update the package within this week or next.

[nimisis]

Just wondering - any plans to update the dependencies?

This seems to be resolved. @jimmyff @sarbagyastha
