@nohli please reopen. This issue does still exist in device_info_plus 9.1.0. See https://github.com/wiredashio/wiredash-sdk/actions/runs/6851936895/job/18629323933?pr=305

I cannot reproduce this issue with 9.1.2. Is this still happening?

[passsy]

I also can't reproduce it with Flutter 3.7+ and device_info_plus 9.1.2.

But I can reproduce it with (testing PR)

• Flutter 3.3.10 and device_info_plus 9.1.2
• Flutter 3.0.0 and device_info_plus 8.2.2

Sorry, I am not able to see it in the logs. I cannot find LinuxDeviceInfo in them.

My only idea is that if some reason using an old Flutter version pulls an incompatible sub-package i.e. a version of device_info_plus and a version of device_info_plus_package_interface that are truly not compatible.

e.g. some changes from the past: https://github.com/fluttercommunity/plus_plugins/commit/e72efb25e2deba53e6cd9c339727a76e12bf99e4#diff-fe1c35f8306be6e8c1694eaf8fdf10a27b0bdbeb8082019b74457fe13191730f

Can you share the pubspec.lock when running on 3.3.10 to see which versions are used?

e.g. from my project

  device_info_plus:
    dependency: "direct main"
    description:
      name: device_info_plus
      sha256: "77f757b789ff68e4eaf9c56d1752309bd9f7ad557cb105b938a7f8eb89e59110"
      url: "https://pub.dev"
    source: hosted
    version: "9.1.2"
  device_info_plus_platform_interface:
    dependency: transitive
    description:
      name: device_info_plus_platform_interface
      sha256: d3b01d5868b50ae571cd1dc6e502fc94d956b665756180f7b16ead09e836fd64
