Image memory leak

[kreativityapps]

Images are not released from memory.

For example taking several screenshots with captureFromWidget one after the other severely increases memory usage causing out of memory crash.

Solution: Please put image.dispose(); everywhere after byteData is extracted from image.

    final ByteData? byteData =
        await image.toByteData(format: ui.ImageByteFormat.png);
    
    image.dispose();    // needed to clean up memory
    image = null; // also important
    return byteData!.buffer.asUint8List();

Hi @SachinGanesh,

I totally agree with @kreativityapps , there is memory leak, I faced some memory crashes too.

I forked the project and fixed the problem, you can use it in your pubspec.yaml using:
