Common issues Flutter developers might run into and recipes how to fix or work around.
# Flutter Recipes
## Flutter installation
### Flutter installation corrupted
The Flutter install directory is in an inconsistent state and that causes all kinds of troubles.
#### Symptoms
// TODO
#### Causes
Unclear
#### Ways to fix
- Run the following commands in the Flutter install directory:
```sh
git clean -xfd
git stash save --keep-index
git stash drop
git pull
flutter doctor
```
> [!CAUTION]

## Flutter project files
### Generated project files outdated
#### Symptoms
// TODO
#### Causes
When a project is created with `flutter create foo` several files in the `ios/` and `android/` sub-directories are created.
Newer Flutter versions might generate these files a bit differently and projects created with older Flutter versions might cause issues.
#### Ways to fix
- Delete the `ios/` and `android/` directories and run `flutter create .` to re-generate these directories.
> [!CAUTION]
> Custom changes will be lost and need to be re-applied.
> This is easiest if the project is committed to a version control system like Git.

## Pub dependencies
### Corrupted cache
Especially with plugin packages it was seen several times that the package in the pub cache was corrupted.
#### Symptoms
Usually syntax errors at build time about code in dependencies.
#### Causes
Unknown.
IDEs or editors used by developers might not prevent editing plugin files and when they navigate into plugin code they might accidentally modify the code.
#### Ways to fix
- Run `pub cache repair`
This might take quite some time and re-downloads every package in the cache, even outdated versions that might not be used anymore by any project on disk.
- Delete `~/.pub-cache/hosted` and/or `~/.pub-cache/git` (for Git dependencies).
This requires to run `flutter packages get` in all active projects on your machine afterwards.
- Delete a specific package or package version.
Look up the exact path in cache for a specific package in the `.packages` file of your project.
For example for `firebase_auth`
```
firebase_auth:file:///Users/someuser/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dartlang.org/firebase_auth-0.6.6/lib/
```
To fix this package delete `///Users/someuser/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dartlang.org/firebase_auth-0.6.6/` (`lib/` removed) and run `flutter packages get`.
