I think this might be because the Twitter project is compiling against SDK 27. I've seen some other project mention similar build errors when using v27 and not v28. I'll fork the Twitter project and see if I can integrate that forked version with my forked version of this project.

It's turtles all the way down :-D

I've forked the twitter project that @Maliffic has here, tweaked it to be an AndroidX build and have managed to get a release APK working.

Some caveats:

• The project here is flutter_twitter_login and not flutter_twitter. It appears @Maliffic has not made that one public although I think they are the same.
• I renamed the forked branch to be flutter_twitter. If there are any bug fixes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.3 then we do not have them.
• Whilst it builds on Android, I don't use Twitter so have no idea if it actually works.
• Haven't tried it on iOS yet.

To get the forked version, you can modify your project to override the flutter_twitter dependency like this:

dependency_overrides:
  flutter_twitter:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/SoftWyer/flutter_twitter
      ref: 7380657aee796528bddfdbc2e5c9ff999034fbf0

The forked repo is open, so please check the changes (I'm trustworthy, but you should check anyway :-D )

And finally, @Maliffic has been very quiet here, hope they are OK.

Hmm, the iOS version doesn't build and having tried other people's fork I can't get them to build either. Twitter deprecated the TwitterKit SDK over a year ago, so I think trying to include a legacy SDK is not something I want to continue. Since I don't use Twitter login, I'm going to park this and create a branch of firebase_ui that doesn't use Twitter authentication.

This fork looks like it is being maintained, but due to the naming switch mentioned above, it's not directly compatible.
