Description

Brief summary

Building the linux version fails because Dart 3.5 brought a breaking change:

ERROR: ../../../.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dev/win32-5.2.0/lib/src/guid.dart:32:9: Error: Type 'UnmodifiableUint8ListView' not found.
ERROR:   final UnmodifiableUint8ListView bytes;
ERROR:         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Steps to reproduce

  1. Clone source code with git
  2. Install dependencies: clang cmake libgtk-3-dev libmpv-dev ninja-build pkg-config
  3. Build: flutter --no-version-check build linux --release
  4. Get error message

Workaround:

flutter pub upgrade --major-versions share_plus package_info_plus 
flutter pub add fluent_ui:^4.9.2
flutter pub add media_kit:^1.1.11
flutter pub add easy_refresh:^3.4.0
flutter pub add archive:^3.6.1

Research direction
The issue is caused by a breaking change in Dart SDK (3.5) that removed the class `UnmodifiableUint8ListView`. The provided workaround upgrades several packages to versions compatible with Dart 3.5. To properly fix, update the `pubspec.yaml` to require at least the versions specified in the workaround (e.g., `share plus`, `package info plus`, `fluent ui`, `media kit`, `easy refresh`, `archive`). Verify that the new versions do not introduce other breaking changes. Consider monitoring the upstream packages for official compatibility updates.
