"Cannot run with sound null safety" for package:isolate when doing "flutter run" without "--no-sound-null-safety"

[florianrein]

For Android & iOS, when I do flutter run, i get the following error message

Error output from Xcode build:
↳
** BUILD FAILED
Xcode's output:
↳
Error: Cannot run with sound null safety, because the following dependencies
don't support null safety:

 - package:isolate

For solutions, see https://dart.dev/go/unsound-null-safety

(Respectively the Android equivalent).

My flutter doctor output is the following:

It is fixed by applying --no-sound-null-safety. I'd like to suggest to at least add it to the readme.

#46 includes note just needs to be merged...

I would be interested to know if this --no-sound-null-safety flag can be avoided with additional changes in Isolate? unsafe code and this is the ramifications? If there's nothing more to do, i think this issue can be closed.

Yes, mostly likely is to rework/rewrite the bindgen code so that it generates a null-safe code, and on top of that we need to update any packages to at least the version where they support null-safety.
