Thanks for the information @JaffaKetchup! Since my package is relatively small, there is not much to do here. Is it possible for me to publish a version to pub.dev before FM v6 is actualliy published there or do I have to wait for that? What is the best practice?

Hi @TimBaumgart,

I imagine there'll be a few things to do like changing the layer to use a MobileLayerTransformer, for example.

As the latest FM prerelease is relatively outdated now (we're not planning on another one), and you can't publish a package that depends on a git repo, I'd say the best thing to do is just make sure you're ready. Maybe make a PR that's ready to merge and publish once v6 is released.

(If there was a recent prerelease, the best thing to do would be to make a prerelease for your package as well.)

fyi: I migrated to the current master of flutter_map in https://github.com/TimBaumgart/flutter_map_polywidget/tree/v6-prep and will merge and publish it as soon as v6.0.0 gets released.

Everything is in the master branch ready to go now, and the release is coming very very soon!

v1.0.0 for this package now supports flutter_map v6.0.0 and was published to pub.dev
