Migrate Plugin to Built-in Kotlin

[sashko]

Problem to solve

I am using home_widget in my Flutter app.

Starting with Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) 9.0, support for applying the Kotlin Gradle Plugin (KGP) has been removed. Because this plugin applies KGP, it causes a compilation error that prevents my app from building. Here is an example of the error Issue #181383.

Flutter has temporarily added support to allow KGP while apps and plugins migrate to AGP 9.0+, but this support will be removed in a future version of Flutter.

Proposal

Please migrate this plugin to use built-in Kotlin to ensure your plugin users can successfully build their apps in future versions of Flutter.

Here is the Flutter migration guide for plugin authors.

Fixed here?

In this case, I'd like to request that the maintainer(s) release a new version, since this one fails to build my app with Flutter 3.44.0.

@westy92 Unfortunately, it wasn't. Here's the migration: #433

@sashko can you please try with 0.9.2+1 or 0.9.3 ? While the warning still show it should actually work though?

@ABausG I tried 0.9.3. To be honest, I cannot verify whether it works despite the warning because this is not the only plugin that blocks my app atm.

So from my (limited) tested I was able to build.

I have checks that check the condition.
The flutter tool only checks for the regex

Good to know. I'll update the ticket once I've fixed the rest of the plugins as well. But the migration has to be done nevertheless?

[ABausG]

As far as I can tell the migration is just about applying or rather not applying a kotlin plugin which I believe the current version correctly handles
