Is it possible to get flutter SDK version during application runtime? - flutter

I'm using fvm, so multiple flutter SDK versions are installed and I want to be able to get, if possible, flutter SDK version during application runtime to verify that correct version was used during build, for example, when I compile manually in Xcode.

How to check what version of flutter sdk xcode is using?

I have several versions of the flutter sdk installed on my machine, each has an alias. I'm not sure what version xcode is using when building the app, how can I check it?
UPDATE:
I found a solution, information about flutter sdk which is used to build the version via xcode you can find in ios/Flutter/Generated.xcconfig. From here you can change the specific sdk path in FLUTTER_ROOT.

Ubuntu | Flutter Doctor: dart is not in you current flutter SDK

Warning: `dart` on your path resolves to /usr/lib/dart/bin/dart, which is
not inside your current Flutter SDK checkout at /home/ankit/flutter.
Consider adding /home/ankit/flutter/bin to the front of your path.
This exception started when the flutter was updated. How do I solve this?
The Problem:
This is happening because you have a separate installation of Dart on your system. The Flutter SDK includes and manages it's own dart SDK, but you can use the dart SDK separately.
Why it Matters
Flutter recommends that you use the dart SDK included with Flutter because Flutter manages it - It will automatically use and upgrade supported versions when using the flutter upgrade command on your terminal, and during initial install.
Flutter is noticing that you have a dart SDK install that did not come with the Flutter SDK. It's giving you a warning because of the possible differences in versions (and possibly other configurations) that could prevent an optimal flutter development experience.
System Path
Here's an explanation of path. You will probably need to set your path environment variables to get the whole fix.
This link shows the official Apple guide to working with the terminal environment variables (including path) but a quick google around should help you find any answers you can't find here.
The path resolves from "front" to "back" - meaning that if the executable in question occurs twice, it will grab the first one. Flutter doctor wants you to add the flutter dart path at the front so that subsequent dart calls will resolve to the Flutter Dart SDK.
The High-Level Solution
Unless you're doing dart development outside flutter, you don't need an additional dart SDK. Most of the time the Flutter dart SDK will work for cases besides flutter as well.
I would recommend removing your other dart install, and using the dart install that comes with flutter. This process will vary depending on how you installed the other dart SDK.
TLDR/Quick Fix
based on what you provided, run this on your Zsh command-line:
export PATH="/home/ankit/flutter/bin:$PATH"
It will only work until you restart your computer.

I get this error in my flutter app. migrate this app to the V2 embedding

I get this error in my Flutter Project,
C:\src\flutter\bin\flutter.bat --no-color pub get
Running "flutter pub get" in source_code... 34.3s
This app is using a deprecated version of the Android embedding.
To avoid unexpected runtime failures, or future build failures, try to migrate this app to the V2 embedding.
Take a look at the docs for migrating an app: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/wiki/Upgrading-pre-1.12-Android-projects
The plugin firebase_core requires your app to be migrated to the Android embedding v2. Follow the steps on https://flutter.dev/go/android-project-migration and re-run this command.
Process finished with exit code 1
Flutter Embedding Error
Since Flutter 1.12 the way how Flutter plugins communicate with the native Android side has been improved. Allowing plugins to better integrate with the native Android lifecycle.
Some plugins support both the new and the old structure, however many plugins (like firebase_core) dropped support for the legacy structure to ensure optimal integration with the Android system.
Apps created using Flutter 1.12 and higher automatically generate the correct Android integration logic, however Flutter applications created with an earlier version of Flutter need to be manually migrated. There are two options to fix this for your app:
The easiest solution is to delete the android folder in your project and let Flutter (using Flutter 1.12 or higher) recreate it for you by running the following command in the root folder of the Flutter project: flutter create --platform=android . (don't forget the . at the end of the command). You should only do this if you haven't made any custom changes to the Android code and of course make sure to make a backup first.
The more safe option is to manually migrate the Android project using the instructions provided on the GitHub Wiki page mentioned in the error message.
When following the instructions on the GitHub Wiki page make sure to keep an eye on all the details. Personally I forgot to update the <application android:name="MyApp" to the recommended <application android:name="${applicationName}" which resulted in the same error you are reporting.
What helped me was to create a new "dummy" application with the latest version of Flutter (for example flutter create --platforms=android test_app) and compare the files in the Android folder with the files of my current App and make changes where necessary.

How to downgrade flutter from version 2.5.3 to 1.22.6

I have some older projects built on flutter 1.22.6 and now I am working on latest version of flutter but there often comes need when I've to work on previous projects non null safety one's so when I try to downgrade flutter by giving command flutter downgrade 1.22.6 it tells me to downgrade to 2.5.2 and if I try to switch channel and then downgrade it downgrades to 2.5.2 first and then tells there is no version related to 1.22.6. This method used to be working before but now its not working anymore. I don't want to download zip files and then replace again flutter every-time I just want it to be done by cli.
My OS is windows 11
You can use flutter Version Manager fvm its specifically made to control flutter versions plus along with that you can install flutter sidekick as well. I am attaching link for you.
FVM Flutter Sidekick
Since you can no longer downgrade flutter versions, I have found the best way to do this is:
Download desired flutter version
Locate current 'flutter' folder and replace it with the desired version
if you run --flutter version after, it should show the correct version

Flutter version used in project

Where can I see the flutter version used in a flutter project? Is there a file inside the project directory where I can see it? I think it is not specified inside the pubscpec.yaml file
So far, I think the specific version can not be found but only what versions can be used in a project. It can be found at the bottom part of pubscpec.lock file
pubspec.lock screenshot
It will not show version project wise. It will overall flutter version that you have installed in your system. For that:
Open your flutter project root directory in Command Prompt or Terminal type:
flutter --version command.
After typing the above command hit enter and You’ll see it will display us the currently installed flutter and Dart version in your computer and also tells us which version type we have installed like Stable or Beta.
Note: There is no such feature/command to check about which version of flutter you have used in Specific project.
Check this thread it will give you more idea:
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/14230
All projects you run will use the flutter sdk installed in your machine/computer from where you specified its location from. So if the version the project uses don't match with the version you've and they conflict, you will have errors and if there is a huge gap and breaking changes, you'll need to either upgrade or downgrade the sdk. But most of the time, things are deprecated before they just become breaking changes and so you shouldn't have big issues. So the best thing to do is usually to upgrade. First check your sdk version via flutter --version. If its outdated, use flutter upgrade to upgrade it.
You can either run flutter --version to check flutter version installed on your machine or check it in your pubspec.lock file for current flutter version in your project
