Question

Hello friends I am using path provider plugin in application now also I want add audio player plugin when ever I tried install audio packages in my application it show me this error please help me what issue why unable install audio packages in my application if used path provider package path provider have any issue with audio plugin?

Because examplecode depends on audioplayers ^0.16.2 which depends on path_provider ^1.6.22, path_provider ^1.6.22 is required.
So, because examplecode depends on path_provider ^0.4.1, version solving failed.
pub get failed (1; So, because examplecode depends on path_provider ^0.4.1, version solving failed.)

here is my packages

Answer 1

but your answer is not actually the way to do it.

This problem in general is a problem of packages being in conflict. to solve this for any packages that are not compatible with each other is simple

1. in pubspec.yaml instead of writing version numbers for those conflicting packages, instead replace the version with 'any'.

E.G instead of

 audioplayers: ^0.13.6

write this:

 audioplayers: any

2. than run 'flutter pub get' in terminal.

3. than the problem should be solved, however dont go leaving them on 'any', thats very bad practice. so go to your pubspec.lock file and look for those packages, you will see that flutter have chosen versions for them automatically and those versions are what flutter found them both being compatible with. take those versions and replace the 'any' version back to those new version numbers given by pub.

take care
