flutter format not accepted by pub.dev

In the score tab of a Flutter package on pub.dev, I get 10 points removed because of formatting. Though, I did run flutter format . within the project root directory. The file mentioned in the score tab was successfully formatted by the command. Also, I did that after updating Flutter.

flutter format score penalty on pub.dev

It says that my file doesn’t match Dart formatter and that I should run the flutter format . command.

Here is the file in question:

Is there a way to know which part of the file is not complying?

Is there more to do than updating Flutter to update the flutter format tool?

Should I use another tool than flutter format?

Is there any other solution than just accepting a lower score?

    In order to install a specific version of the dart sdk, I had to follow these instructions: https://dart.dev/get-dart Being on Debian and wishing to align with version 2.13.14, I had to run:
