Adding Flutter/Dart Packages

IMPORTANT: Before adding ANY Flutter or Dart package to pubspec.yaml, you MUST:

1. Look up the latest version on pub.dev by fetching: https://pub.dev/packages/{package_name}
2. Extract the latest stable version from the page
3. Use that exact version with a caret constraint (e.g., ^1.2.3) in pubspec.yaml

Never guess or use an outdated version. Always verify on pub.dev first.

Example

If adding the package in_app_review:

1. Fetch https://pub.dev/packages/in_app_review
2. Find the latest version (e.g., 2.0.9)
3. Add to pubspec.yaml: in_app_review: ^2.0.9

Rules

• Always use WebFetch to check https://pub.dev/packages/{package_name} before adding a dependency
• Use caret syntax (^) unless the user specifies otherwise
• If the package does not exist on pub.dev, inform the user before proceeding
• When adding multiple packages, check all of them on pub.dev
