'Error: Member not found: 'packageRoot', how to solve ignore: deprecated_member_use in Flutter?

In my flutter project, I have made some updates of plugins and then used flutter upgrade. After that, whenever I am running my flutter project it is showing following error-

    /C:/src/flutter/flutter/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dartlang.org/platform-3.0.2/lib/src/interface/local_platform.dart:46:19: Error: Member not found: 'packageRoot'.
          io.Platform.packageRoot; // ignore: deprecated_member_use
                      ^^^^^^^^^^^ FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

So, I need a suggestion that how can I solve this issue?

Solution 1:^[1]

For me, cleaning and getting the packages didn't work. This error started after I upgraded flutter. I was on the master channel, a quick fix for me was to switch to stable.

flutter channel stable
flutter upgrade

Perhaps theres a better solution which deals with platform package directly.

Solution 2:^[2]

You need to upgrade your dependencies to fix this issue, so run:

flutter pub upgrade

If this still doesn't work then it means you are having this issue from transitive dependencies on platform (platform with version lower than 3.1.0 has this problem). So, override the platform package in your pubspec.yaml file like this:

dependency_overrides:
  platform: ^3.1.0

Solution 3:^[3]

Try add in pubspec.yaml file

dependencies: // under dependencies:
  platform: ^3.1.0

then run flutter pub get

Why this error occurred

../../../development/flutter/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dartlang.org/platform-3.0.0/lib/src/interface/local_platform.dart:46:19: Error: Member not found: 'packageRoot'. io.Platform.packageRoot; // ignore: deprecated_member_use

this is the kind of error that you will get when you build the file.

if you notice the error was caused by package platform:3.0.0

so we are just overriding this by incrementing it to 3.1.0

The only thing that could help me was to delete the pubspec.lock file from the project folder and only then run

flutter clean

flutter pub get

Solution 5:^[5]

flutter pub upgrade

flutter clean

flutter pub get

Solution 6:^[6]

I had the same issue and I have solved it with the following steps:

run flutter pub upgrade
run flutter pub outdated
run flutter pub clean

Note: run flutter pub clean in project root and in example packege.

Another important thing make sure you are on the stable version of Flutter.

Solution 7:^[7]

firstly, run

flutter pub outdated

then

flutter pub upgrade --major-versions

Solution 8:^[8]

I fixed it with one command:

$ flutter pub cache repair

Solution 9:^[9]

If all solutions above doesn't work for you just like me,

If the problem occurs immedately you upgrade your flutter

run fluter downgrade 2.0.1 //2.0.1 means your working previous version of flutter
after downgrading, click on the extensions button or use shorcut Ctrl+SHift+X, then uninstall and re-install Flutter and Dart.

this works for me.

For Flutter iOS Users:

After running following commands:

flutter channel stable
flutter upgrade
flutter pub upgrade

After completing the process, try

pod repo update
pod install

pod install --repo-update

Its worked for me. Hope it will be helpful.

Solution 11:^[11]

I fixed it : compileSdkVersion 31, and upgrade kotlin-version

Solution 12:^[12]

Update your pubspec.yaml

dependency_overrides:
  platform: ^3.1.0

Solution 13:^[13]

Solution

A. deleting pubspec.lock

Delete pubspec.lock file
For good measures, update platform's parent pub e.g. path_provider to the latest version.
flutter pub get

B. pubspec dependency override

Add platform with its latest version as a dependency override

dependency_overrides:
  # fix `packageRoot`compile error for iOS, because `path_provider` is using an old version of `platform`
  platform: ^3.1.0 # overrides `path_provider`

flutter pub get

Root Cause

platform pub is out of date. Most likely in your case it's a transitive dependency from path_provider pub.
For some reason, flutter pub get won't update platform which is a transitive dependency. Even if you change the version of its parent pub path_provider to the latest version and call flutter pub get again.

Inspecting `platform` pub version

A. flutter pub deps to print package dependency graph. Then find "- platform" string within the output.

B. Inside pubspec.lock file, look for "platform:" string.

Solution 14:^[14]

Enter the following into the terminal at the path of your project.

flutter pub cache repair
flutter pub upgrade
