FlutterBluetoothSerialPlugin.java uses or overrides a deprecated API.

[HamzaKlf]

Lately, my generated Flutter APK has been experiencing issues with controlling the Android Bluetooth, leading to difficulties in establishing connections.

Flutter 3.13.0 • channel stable • https://github.com/flutter/flutter.git Tools • Dart 3.1.0 • DevTools 2.25.0

while generating the Apk, the following error is shown:

Note: C:\Users\Usuario\AppData\Local\Pub\Cache\hosted\pub.dev\flutter_bluetooth_serial-0.4.0\android\src\main\java\io\github\edufolly\flutterbluetoothserial\FlutterBluetoothSerialPlugin.java uses or overrides a deprecated API.

During the debugging process, the following message appears when attempting to disable the Android Bluetooth from within the app:

Have you got any solution for this? I am facing this issue while releasing the .apk file

[HamzaKlf]

So far, there have been no updates for the flutter_bluetooth_serial library in the past two years, causing it to become obsolete. Consequently, I've transitioned to using the flutter_reactive_ble library, which is functioning well without any issues related to Bluetooth connection or permissions.

[haisamk18]

But I guess , flutter_reactive_ble doesn’t support Bluetooth Classic .Is there any alternate of this?
