[Bug]: PackageInfoPlus always returns 1.0.0 on windows (web and android works fine)

[RednibCoding]

trafficstars

Platform

Windows 10

Plugin

PackageInfoPlus

Version

all from 1.4.0 to ^1.4.3+1

Flutter SDK

=2.16.1 <3.0.0

Steps to reproduce

I just call the initialize method from the code sample and it always returns version 1.0.0 even though the apps version in the pubspec.yaml is different. It works on web and android (without changing a line of code) but on windows it always returns 1.0.0.

Code Sample

static Future<void> initialize() async {
    var packageInfo = await PackageInfo.fromPlatform();
    appState.appName = packageInfo.appName;
    appState.version = packageInfo.version;
    appState.buildNumber = packageInfo.buildNumber;
  }

Logs

I have no problem with errors or exceptions

IIRC there was a discussion about the windows app not using the version in the pubspec as the version for the exe. I can't seem to find it anymore though.

[miquelbeltran]

That makes sense. The Android implementation works similarly: It reads the app version from the APK, not the pubspec.yaml.

So if the windows.exe is not using the version defined in the pubspec.yml this is more a bug on the Flutter Desktop implementation side than on this plugin.

I believe this issue can be closed, since this was fixed with Flutter 3.3:
