Flutter: Disable Swipe to Navigate Back in iOS and Android

Question

I'm new to flutter development, and find it a bit frustrating in iOS when you have a navigation drawer and when you swipe to open it, it'll perform a Navigation.of(context).pop(). I would like to disable this "swipe to pop" behavior in iOS. I have been perusing the documentation, but without much luck.

I do see something referred to as a WillPopScope which seems to do the trick (github issue for it here), but I'm not 100% sure if this is the "correct" way to do it (it seems too complicated... it should be easier... like a setting on the root app).

Answer 1

WillPopScope is the correct way to do this.

(it seems too complicated... it should be easier... like a setting on the root app).

It is not complicated. It's a one liner :

WillPopScope(   onWillPop: () async => false,   child: <children here> ) 

A configuration file would make things more complicated as it's harder to read and maintain.

And remember that in flutter everything is a widget not just half of them. Authentification, configurations, everything.
