I have created a new Flutter project and added the camera plugin. After adding that dependency I got many errors. I used Flutter version is 2.5.2 and minSdkVersion 21.
In the pubspec.yaml file,
environment:
sdk: ">=2.12.0 <3.0.0"
dependencies:
flutter:
sdk: flutter
cupertino_icons: ^1.0.4
camera: ^0.9.4+4
Errors are as follows,
