Flutter build error: 'dart:js_interop' is not available on this platform

When I try to build my flutter project:

flutter build apk --debug

--> I get the following error:

lib/screens/ListPage.dart:1:8: Error: Dart library 'dart:js_interop' is not available on this platform.
import 'dart:js_interop';
       ^
Context: The unavailable library 'dart:js_interop' is imported through these packages:

    package:easy_cost_splitter => dart:js_interop

Detailed import paths for (some of) the these imports:

    package:easy_cost_splitter/main.dart => package:easy_cost_splitter/screens/ListPage.dart => dart:js_interop

Unhandled exception:

Strange thing: in line 8 of the mentioned file isn't even a reference to js_interop, but this code:

class ListPage extends StatefulWidget {
  const ListPage({super.key});

  @override
  State<ListPage> createState() => _ListPageState();
}

I already searched the internet and tried the following without success:

  • searching all files in the directory for the words 'js_interop', without result
  • flutter clean, then flutter pub get
  • removing newly installed extensions like CMake
  • restarting the VS Code and the PC

Here is the result of flutter doctor:

Can anybody help please?

Solution

  • The package dart:js_interop - just like dart:js - is only available when building for the web platform. Your code won't be able to run on Android.

    Somewhere in your project you include a dependency that itself depends on dart:js_interop.
