There is an update for Android Gradle Plugin too (8.12 -> 8.13), but updating it seems to cause build issues because of package:app_settings and package:file_picker.

EDIT: package:file_picker doesn't block AGP upgrade anymore (see miguelpruivo/flutter_file_picker#1889).

Here are the logs for app_settings (similar errors for file_picker are observed after resolving issues with app_settings by simply removing it):

Execution failed for task ':app_settings:checkDebugAarMetadata'.

       1.  Dependency 'androidx.fragment:fragment:1.7.1' requires libraries and applications that
           depend on it to compile against version 34 or later of the
           Android APIs.

Thanks for taking care of this! These all look good modulo the CI failure, which we're discussing at #mobile-team > CI failing after Flutter upgrade. So once that's resolved or worked around, this will be ready to merge.

rajveermalviya · 2025-09-11T21:40:44Z

This is ready for review now @gnprice, PTAL.

Thanks! Comments below.

.github/workflows/ci.yml

-        git clone --depth=3000 -b main https://github.com/flutter/flutter ~/flutter
+        git clone --filter=blob:none -b main https://github.com/flutter/flutter ~/flutter


ci: Prefer `--filter=blob:none` over `--depth=N` Flutter upstream changed it's version number calculation and it now doesn't play well with "shallow clone".

That means this is needed before the Flutter upgrade, right? So it should come before that commit, to avoid having a commit where things are broken.

There's also a similar --depth in the other workflow in this directory. Should that be updated the same way?

This check would still work fine, right? I believe it's just the "Check the version name matches the commit ID" step that's affected.

Flutter upstream changed it's version number calculation and it now doesn't play well with "shallow clone". CZO discussion: https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/channel/243-mobile-team/topic/CI.20failing.20after.20Flutter.20upgrade/with/2258300

Flutter upstream changed it's version number format so this check will need to be updated to accommodate for that, but we leave that as a follow up (see zulip#1851). So, remove this check for now.

This commit is the result of the following commands: flutter pub upgrade --major-versions firebase_messaging firebase_core tools/upgrade pod Changelogs: https://pub.dev/packages/firebase_core/changelog#410 https://pub.dev/packages/firebase_messaging/changelog#1601 Notable changes include bump to Firebase Android BoM (34.0.0 to 34.1.0) and Firebase iOS SDK (12.0.0 to 12.2.0), changelog for those are at: https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/android https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/ios For Android SDK, no changes in the FCM component (the only one we use). For iOS SDK, one runtime crash fix for apps built with (not yet released) Xcode 26: firebase/firebase-ios-sdk#15159 which doesn't affect us, as probably no one has tried to build with Xcode 26 Beta yet.

This commit is the result of the following commands: flutter pub upgrade --major-versions pigeon tools/check --all-files --fix pigeon Changelog: https://pub.dev/packages/pigeon/changelog#2601 Couple of changes and documentation updates for `@ProxyApi` APIs, which we do not use.

This commit is the result of the following command: flutter pub upgrade --major-versions device_info_plus Changelog: https://pub.dev/packages/device_info_plus/changelog#1200 One breaking change is removal of `serialNumber` from `AndroidDeviceInfo`, which doesn't affect as we do not use it.

This commit is the result of the following commands: flutter pub upgrade --major-versions package_info_plus tools/upgrade pod Changelog: https://pub.dev/packages/package_info_plus/changelog#900

This commit is the result of the following command: flutter pub upgrade --major-versions share_plus Changelog: https://pub.dev/packages/share_plus/changelog#1200 One notable change is that it fixes a bug that occurs only on iOS 26: fluttercommunity/plus_plugins#3631

Changelog: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/whatsnew2220.html Highlights: * Mostly experimental changes. * One notable change is improved incremental compilation for Kotlin/JVM but currently experimental: - https://kotlinlang.org/docs/whatsnew2220.html#preview-improved-incremental-compilation-for-kotlin-jvm * And one breaking change for `kapt.use.k2` property, which we do not use.
