flutter pub add flutter_secure_storage installs 4.2.1 instead of 9.2.4

[basvdijk]

When I run flutter pub add flutter_secure_storage

It adds flutter_secure_storage: ^4.2.1 to my pubspec.yaml instead of a version 9. I don't know what is causing this, but just so you know.

@basvdijk I had the same issue once, for that reason the app shows namespace error in the console. When i changed the version to latest manually in the pubspec solved the problem. But don't know the exact reason !

I got the same issue. When running flutter pub add flutter_secure_storage , got flutter_secure_storage: ^4.2.1 installed,

Had to manually update to the latest by changing the number to 9.2.4

@ZeroToHero-StepByStep Hope it's working right?

Yes, manually change it to the latest is working all good. But I don't know what's the reason behind that.

Had try to invalid cache of my intelliJ. pub clean & pub get flutter pub outdated , flutter pub upgrade; and rm pubspec.lock flutter pub get

after a bunch of the combination above, running pub add again , none of these works to run flutter pub add flutter_secure_storage to install the latest , still 4.21 .

Interestingly, when I create a new project, running flutter pub add flutter_secure_storage does get flutter_secure_storage: ^9.2.4

I think it was one of the libraries stops it using the latest. but running

flutter pub deps | grep flutter_secure_storage;

├── flutter_secure_storage 4.2.1

 flutter --version;

Didn't see any suspects.

It is okay for experienced developers, cause we know what we are doing, but this could be an annoying issue to new beginners and people may need to look into this.

The current library resolving could be somewhere wrong, resolved as 4.2.1 , but should use / upgrade to the latest 9.2.4. Yes, this will be an issue to upgrade the library as well potentially.

Anyway, I will stop here for now.

As far as I can see the issue is still valid

Hello,

When I run:

flutter pub add flutter_secure_storage

it installs version 4.2.1, even though the latest version is 9.2.4.

With 4.2.1, Android build fails on AGP 8+ due to missing namespace in build.gradle:

Could not create an instance of type com.android.build.api.variant.impl.LibraryVariantBuilderImpl.
Namespace not specified. Specify a namespace in the module's build file: .../flutter_secure_storage-4.2.1/android/build.gradle

Workaround: Manually updating pubspec.yaml to version 9.2.4 resolves the issue.

It seems that flutter pub add pulls an outdated version based on dependency constraints or Flutter SDK version, which causes build problems on modern Android setups.
