I've experienced a lot of trouble with Flutter in the last year alone. Maybe it's because they recently laid off the Flutter team.

One related to this: https://docs.flutter.dev/release/breaking-changes/android-ja...

We had a bunch of sdk users who couldn't port over our Android sdk because of "Unsupported class file major version 65" so we ended up making a flutter plugin for them rather than downgrading the native Android versions. I would expect many sdk devs to not care enough to do this, especially the open source ones.

All the changes on these platforms have been done thanklessly by someone. Before this, someone was paid to do it, so they might not need the thanks. But I saw how fast Cordova unraveled after Apache announced they were dropping support.

There's the frameworks like GetX too which have slowed down recently. We've been removing them from the code and replacing them.
