When will be packages released?

Dependency Overrides

If you have web package conflicts, you can try to override the version using "dependency override" https://dart.dev/tools/pub/dependencies#dependency-overrides, but there is no warranty that versions are compatible. Do this under your own risk!

dependency_overrides:
  web: ^0.5.0

Git Ref

You can also use a git ref to reference a specific commit in your pubspec.yml, so you don't have to wait for a package release. Do this under your own risk!

dependencies:
  package_info_plus:
    git: 
      url: https://github.com/fluttercommunity/plus_plugins.git
      path: packages/package_info_plus/package_info_plus
      ref: branch or commit sha

I have a version conflict with the package web

Due to the package web being fairly new, each new release can be potentially a major release, and will require a new plus plugin release.

You can try using dependency_overrides as explained above to fix the issue, although the code may not be compatible with the selected web version.

Latest Firebase Packages are incompatible with Plus Plugins Package

We are aware. This is due to Firebase plugins adding a dependency to web: ^0.5.0.

You can solve this issue with the dependency_overrides as mentioned before, until a new release with the updated dependency is released.

This will happen again when web: 0.6.0 is released!

Min Dart SDK version

Because web 0.5.0 depends on the sdk version 3.3.0, all plugins using this package will start using sdk >=3.3.0.
This may require using the latest stable Flutter releases.

@miquelbeltran The missing API's are probably because they are non-standard.

We can however, provide the missing API's using extension types, so I don't think any of those migrations are actually blocked.
