[proposal] allow to detect programmatically what flutter version the app was compiled under

[atreeon]

Sometimes bugs in a Flutter app are dependent on which version of Flutter the code was compiled with. For this reason, it would be nice to have (or is there a way already) to find out programmatically what version of Flutter my app was compiled with.

Hi @atreeon
can I hijack your question as a feature request?
I think this feature would be desirable especially on long term;
wether it would be one line in the pubspec.yaml like created from: 1.17.5,
or just a command to run in terminal.
Thank you

absolutely @iapicca , if its not possible now then adding this as a feature would be great. It would be great to get this programmatically. Something like Platform.version from dart:io that can be used to get the dart version (although that doesn't work in web) during runtime of the app to then show it on an aboutdialog page or something like that.
