Stable combination of library versions

[Qilanya]

Hello all,

I was very excited when I found the stacked architecture for building my idea of a flutter app.
I tried to follow the very basic setup tutorial from filledstacks.com with the simple startup and second view navigation.

Unfortunately I ran into issues with both the example code and the build_runner due to some dependencies not agreeing with each other or with the sdk on the system.

So my question is which combination of versions of the following libraries/sdks work well together in your experience?

• Java JDK
• Android SDK
• Flutter
• stacked
  --stacked_services
• stacked_generator
• build_runner
• Android Studio/Visual Studio Code

I'd really appreciate your help on this, as I had trouble finding a setup that doesn't run into some error or another.
Thank you.

Hey, I haven't had many issues with the latest setup. As long as everything is on the latest it should work.

Stacked is only dependent on Flutter so you can ignore the following things in your comparison:

• Java SDK
• Android SDK
• Android Studio / Visual Studio Code

Use the Stacked Tools and generate an app and see if that works.

The Android folder does exist with flutter create - just in the project structure in Android studio the sdk is not filled.
I did reinstall flutter in a path without special characters later, but the folder was not generated by stacked even before that. And trying to resolve this I also reinstalled Android Studio and such.
What baffles me is that the app currently generated by flutter create is complete, but the one by stacked create app is incomplete because it can't locate flutter? Really strange.

I'll try to set up stacked on a different laptop in the next couple of days - it might really just be an issue with mine. Thank you for the pointers so far.

Happy to give pointers. It would have been better if it could be solved. We do nothing special. We execute flutter directly in your command line, no extra special things.

So I gave it another go on a different machine with the same end result unfortunately. Back on my own I laptop I uninstalled everything, cleaned the Path variable and pub caches, etc. After restarting, these were the steps taken:

• verify requirements for Flutter as per https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started/install/windows
• i.e. re-install Git, check Powershell version
• get Flutter source code from Git this time and clone it into proposed folder C:\src
• add flutter\bin to user Path variables in system environment
• re-opened console and ran flutter doctor > this executed pub get/upgrade and the usual checks > still missing Android Sdk / Studio
• installed Android Studio
• installed the plugins in Android Studio (Flutter, Dart)
• re-ran flutter doctor > all green after accepting Android licenses (see screenshot)
• ran dart pub global activate stacked_tools > no errors, just a message asking to add the path to the system environment variables (done - see screenshot)
• re-started the laptop and tested the create commands

flutter create worked as expected
stacked create still shows the errors and the app folder is missing files (e.g. android folder, pubspeck.lock)

Attached a few more screenshots for you. Do you see anything out of the ordinary?

Very strange. I have no idea why it's doing that. I'll see if we can maybe do a check and understand why that's happening.

The process might not have the correct permissions? I'll have to be able to reproduce on my side to fix it.
