I am just cloned the repo, and my flutter is:

❯ flutter doctor

I found the apps acutally seems out-of-date and examples with some mistakes.

can author have a check please?

Under examples main.dart L121:

                  items.map((i) => ChatMessage.fromJson(i.data)).toList();

It should be:

                  items.map((i) => ChatMessage.fromJson(i.data())).toList();

Otherwise the file even can't pass syntax examine.
