Cannot compile on Web #124

Closed TomaszCz closed 1 month ago

Describe the bug

I want to use this lovely package to handle deep links on desktop such us windows / macos. I managed to make it working, but unfortunately during further testing I discovered that with this package I broke the ability to compile my app for web. It is likely due to win32 package.

To recreate my issue, open your example folder, add web support flutter create --platforms=web .

And try to compile, you will see the issue image

I would love to use this package, but i need to support web as well. do you have any advice ? :)

ps I will try to conditionally include win32 into compilation based on platform, have not done it but it should be possible.

This has nothing related to this package. Somewhere in your app you have a reference to win32 package but not from here. You can directly check dependencies from pub.dev to confirm.

hey! I appreciate fast reply. I am not using win32, in my project and it compiled on web fine. After i added your package with the given instruction image The web compilation started to break. After investigation, it is win32 package used for registry edit. ( scheme registration ).

Please notice I am trying to check your example ( from this repo ) to check if it would work on web unchanged, and unfortunately it doesn't. image

Oh ok, look closely here: https://github.com/llfbandit/app_links/blob/0ba03114bde67dc2ee5db484a83bfced82cef5a5/example/lib/main.dart#L156-L162

registerProtocolHandler won't be called unless you're on windows platform. You can also use conditionnal import for example.
