force 1.2.9 for now, this issue happened with 1.2.6, it was caused by the android depencency upgrade from beta2 to beta3.
As I see no doc yet on how to do the migration (native-side) I think it's the best thing to do for now....

1.2.9 didn't work for me. Tried 1.2.5 and a few lower than that and they're all showing the same error.

Sorry, dumb mistake. I left the ^ in before these so they were upgrading to 1.3.0. When I took that out, 1.2.9 worked.

[Thelm76]

@endigo could you please update the documentation to add the needed requirements for last version ?
I'm thinking about maybe something to add to the build.gradle, to add the support for Attr/LStar

EDIT: I see that android-pdf-viewer:3.2.0-beta.3 replaces android-appcompat by androidX and I think the issue comes from that.

[jacky4631]

1.2.9 work for me, use flutter_pdfview: 1.2.9,don't contains ^,then flutter clean/build

[bishal-rumba007]

@jacky4631 do you mean i should inclue ^ infront of 1.2.9 or i should not include this?

[ameenbadri7]

1.2.9 work for me, use flutter_pdfview: 1.2.9,don't contains ^,then flutter clean/build

this worked for me ..thanks all.

[devmgs]

for the time being, it is not resolved to add this to pubspec

dependency_overrides:
  # Keep until https://github.com/endigo/flutter_pdfview/issues/236 is resolved.
  flutter_pdfview: 1.2.9

[bishal-rumba007]

I have come across same issue again.
I added 1.2.9 a week ago and it worked but its giving similar error

[devmgs]

need to be merged with #240
