Is this a support request?
no

Describe the bug
[ERROR:flutter/shell/common/shell.cc(1015)] The 'launchdarkly_flutter_client_sdk' channel sent a message from native to Flutter on a non-platform thread. Platform channel messages must be sent on the platform thread. Failure to do so may result in data loss or crashes, and must be fixed in the plugin or application code creating that channel.

To reproduce
just include launchdarkly_flutter_client_sdk in your project

Expected behavior

Hello @hongfeiyang, thank you for reporting this issue.

How frequently are you seeing this issue as a total count and as a percentage of user sessions?

Did this issue begin appearing recently? Perhaps coinciding with updating Flutter or the LaunchDarkly SDK?

Thanks!

It happened recently. It's now appearing constantly when app launches. Maybe it's due to flutter's internal changes

[tanderson-ld]

Are you able to track down what changed recently in your code or dependencies that may have caused it? That will help tremendously in tracking this down. Thank you!

I also saw this today for the first time, on iOS.

I have not changed anything in the Launch Darkly code in our app for many months now because I don't have enough time to migrate to SDK 3+ right now.

iOS plugin seems to have an issue. The completion handler should be wrapped by DispatchQueue.main.async like below.

let completion = { [weak self] in
  DispatchQueue.main.async {
      self?.channel.invokeMethod("completeStart", arguments: nil) 
  }
}

Thanks @ohhyungkwon for providing more information. Are you seeing this in a reproducible manner?

[ohhyungkwon]

@tanderson-ld yes, it always happens to me.

[tanderson-ld]

Could you provide the following details?

• Flutter Version
• SDK Version
• What situation your application is calling LDClient.start(...) in? (such as threading or services)

Thank you!

    - Flutter
    - LaunchDarkly (= 9.1.1)

Flutter Channel stable, 3.22.3

The flutter screen is launched as a module by native iOS app. I don't think I spawn any other thread when I call the launch darkly initialiser.
