Warning: Your pubspec.yaml includes an "author" section which is no longer used and may be removed

Question

I want to publish my library and same as before, I have included author name in the pubspec file.
Running flutter pub pub publish --dry-run gives me the following warning:

Warning: Your pubspec.yaml includes an "author" section which is no longer used and may be removed

I will authorize my publishing using the email in my author value. If I remove it, how will I authorize.

I'll be thankful to know more about this.

Answer 1

Instead of using author or authors to verify yourself, the new way is that you make yourself a verified publisher.

According to documents:

To create a verified publisher, follow these steps:

• Go to pub.dev.

• Log in to pub.dev using a Google Account.

• In the user menu in the top-right corner, select Create Publisher.

• Enter the domain name that you want to associate with your publisher (for example, dart.dev), and click Create Publisher.

• In the confirmation dialog, select OK.

• If prompted, complete the verification flow, which opens the Google Search Console.

• When adding DNS records, it may take a few hours before the Search Console reflects the changes. When the verification flow is complete, return to step 4.

Answer 2

You should now use authors instead of author:

name: my_package
authors:
  - [email protected]
  - [email protected]
