Steps to Reproduce

  1. Update example app for device_info plugin to opt into null safety by changing the SDK constraints
  2. Run app on Android and app crashes

Note: I have fork with these changes that can reproduce the issue at https://github.com/MaikuB/plugins/tree/null_safety_device_info_crash/packages/device_info/device_info. Another observation is that going to the directory of the example app to run the integration test by running the following command

flutter drive \
  --driver=test_driver/integration_test.dart \
  --target=integration_test/device_info_test.dart

does not indicate failure. In fact, all tests are reported to have passed.

Expected results:

Able to receive info on the device

Actual results:

App crashes, it looks like platform channel is receiving null values from the native side

@MaikuB
I followed your steps and modified plugin's sdk constraint to null safety, but while running, getting below errors:

Launching lib/main.dart on sdk gphone x86 arm in debug mode...
Running Gradle task 'assembleDebug'...
Error: Cannot run with sound null safety, because the following dependencies
don't support null safety:

 - package:device_info
 - package:device_info_platform_interface
 - package:plugin_platform_interface

For solutions, see https://dart.dev/go/unsound-null-safety
lib/main.dart:56:21: Error: Non-nullable variable 'deviceData' must be assigned before it can be used.
      _deviceData = deviceData;
                    ^^^^^^^^^^


FAILURE: Build failed with an except

environment:
  sdk: ">=2.12.0-0 <3.0.0"

Used plugin's official repo example.

Can you provide more details / steps around how are you seeing the crash ?

@darshankawar the steps I mentioned were all that I did. Your error looks worse because device_info had already been migrated to null safety (see https://github.com/flutter/plugins/blob/master/packages/device_info/device_info/pubspec.yaml). The error you're seeing generally occurs when looks using a plugin that hasn't been migrated to null safety but the app using it has opted in. Are you sure your copy of the plugins repo is up to date?

Also noticed you mentioned you updated the plugin's SDK constraints though the steps I mentioned were to update the example's SDK constraints. As the plugin itself has already been migrated to null safety, it doesn't need to have the SDK constraints updated. In my original post, I had posted a link to a fork that can reproduce the problem so that could be cloned and run to see the issue. For convenience, the link is https://github.com/MaikuB/plugins/tree/null_safety_device_info_crash/packages/device_info/device_info. As I'm writing this, it is only one commit ahead of master, where the only change is to update the SDK constraints of the example app for the device_info plugin. The details of that commit can be seen at MaikuB/plugins@569ec0d

Thanks @MaikuB for the details. I was able to see the crash using your fork above. Verified on Android 8.1.0 device using latest beta.
