Show warning when plugins do not support SwiftPM by vashworth · Pull Request #182506 · flutter/flutter

vashworth · 2026-02-17T18:33:35Z

Provides a warning with a list of plugins that do not support SwiftPM. This is displayed to the app developer. It then recommends they reach out to the plugin maintainers to adopt SwiftPM.

Example:

The following plugins do not support Swift Package Manager for ios:
  - sqflite_sqlcipher
  - sign_in_with_apple
  - permission_handler_apple
  - flutter_secure_storage
  - flutter_inappwebview_ios
  - flutter_facebook_auth
  - flutter_contacts
  - flutter_config
  - fast_contacts
This will not be supported in a future version of Flutter. Please contact the plugin maintainers to request Swift Package Manager
adoption.

Fixes #152038.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a helpful warning for developers using Flutter plugins that do not support Swift Package Manager. The change correctly identifies CocoaPods-only plugins and informs the user with a clear, actionable message. The accompanying test updates ensure this new warning is behaving as expected. My review includes a few suggestions to make the tests more specific and robust.

gemini-code-assist · 2026-02-18T17:57:27Z

packages/flutter_tools/test/general.shard/macos/darwin_dependency_management_test.dart

+              expect(
+                testLogger.warningText,
+                contains('The following plugins do not support Swift Package Manager'),
+              );


To make this test more robust, it would be good to also assert that the name of the problematic plugin (cocoapod_plugin_1) is present in the warning message. This ensures we're not just getting a generic warning, but one that correctly identifies the plugin.

Suggested change

expect(

testLogger.warningText,

contains('The following plugins do not support Swift Package Manager'),

);

expect(

testLogger.warningText,

allOf(

contains('The following plugins do not support Swift Package Manager'),

contains('cocoapod_plugin_1'),

),

);

packages/flutter_tools/test/general.shard/macos/darwin_dependency_management_test.dart

+              expect(
+                testLogger.warningText,
+                contains('The following plugins do not support Swift Package Manager'),
+              );


Similar to my other comment, let's make this assertion more specific by also checking for the plugin name in the warning text. This will make the test more reliable.

Suggested change

expect(

testLogger.warningText,

contains('The following plugins do not support Swift Package Manager'),

);

expect(

testLogger.warningText,

allOf(

contains('The following plugins do not support Swift Package Manager'),

contains('cocoapod_plugin_1'),

),

);

+              expect(
+                testLogger.warningText,
+                contains('The following plugins do not support Swift Package Manager'),
+              );


For consistency and to make the test stronger, let's also verify here that the specific plugin name appears in the warning message.

Suggested change

expect(

testLogger.warningText,

contains('The following plugins do not support Swift Package Manager'),

);

expect(

testLogger.warningText,

allOf(

contains('The following plugins do not support Swift Package Manager'),

contains('cocoapod_plugin_1'),

),

);

packages/flutter_tools/lib/src/macos/darwin_dependency_management.dart

      }
    }

+    if (hostPlatformIsMacOS && cocoapodOnlyPlugins.isNotEmpty) {


curious will hostPlatformIsMacOS ever be false? I thought this code only runs on macOS?

Technically this code does run on other hosts. For example, a Flutter user can still create an app that supports iOS on a Windows computer even though they can't run it.

Interesting!

just to check i understand - this warning is printed when doing flutter create?

hellohuanlin · 2026-02-24T17:46:07Z

packages/flutter_tools/lib/src/macos/darwin_dependency_management.dart

+      _logger.printWarning(
+        'The following plugins do not support Swift Package Manager for ${platform.name}:\n'
+        '  - ${cocoapodOnlyPlugins.join('\n  - ')}\n'
+        'This will not be supported in a future version of Flutter. Please contact the plugin '


nit: avoid double negation: "This (plugins not supporting SwiftPM) will not be supported".

Try something like "Future version of Flutter will require SwiftPM. Please contact..."
