Flutter - A Closer Look at How Pub Handles Dependency Versions | Coding Latte - Coding is fun

In this post, I want to look closely at how dart pub handles dependency versions. The end goal is to help you understand how to manage your flutter dependencies versions with some finesse.

Great article. I don't agree with your opinion on 'any' Hixie and I recommend using it unless you are forced to use a specific version. That way you always will have the latest library version.

Thanks. When i started out my research for this article, i was of the same opinion. However, during my research, I came across the recommendation not to use any for performance reason on the pub documentation here.

I am guessing this has something to do with resolving a version of the dependency and then checking it against the dependency graph to see if it has any compatibility with the other dependencies, if not, repeating the process until a compatible version is found.
