tried to do flutter clean faced with new error

turns out also unable to build the apk

Those appear to be Windows paths? What operating system are you using?

for android testing currently I'm using WIndows, previously for iOS I'm using Mac

[MulverineX]

I will try to reproduce your issue on building for Android on Windows

@ekkis when he has time can hopefully help with MacOS (I do not have a MacOS environment)

@arifinreinaldo It turns out this is a problem when compiling for any platform! It's embarrassing that we missed this! So, it appears that actually using the library as a package installed from pub.dev doesn't work, but it does work within the example project when in the mercury workspace. As it currently stands this means the package can't be used in any project! We will be fixing this soon, apologies for the delay.

ok, hopefully can be fixed soon. Thanks

How's this issue coming along?

[MulverineX]

Been doing some tinkering, I believe we have some broken Flutter Plugin files, starting tomorrow I'm going to comb through their differences to upstream and attempt to get this resolved within a few days.

I also discovered a nasty memory allocation bug in the bridge library that affects Windows, about halfway through that, still getting crashes, will continue to look through upstream fixes.

A good chunk of the way through this now, those interested can track progress here: #35

Hi, thanks for keeping posted about the progress so far. CMIIW, so the fix will be handled in the version 0.2.0?

[MulverineX]

Yep

Hi @MulverineX , Any update for this one?

[MulverineX]

I've decided to move to Kotlin Jetpack Compose Multiplatform, and ekkis went back to React Native, so at this point you can consider this library abandoned unfortunately, until/unless someone else picks up development. andycall (the lead developer of webf) has different priorities so its unlikely he'll work on this unless someone commissions him to. This is why this issue is set to help wanted. Apologies to everyone I directed to this project, I hope y'all find a different solution for your app or can find the time to finish this library. If anyone is actually interested in taking over let me know and I can help some.
