No it doesnt show any error

Hi I am also having this trouble. Has anyone found a fix to this yet? No errors shown here as well.

void _connect() async { if (_device != null) { bluetooth.isConnected.then((isConnected) { if (isConnected == false) { bluetooth.connect(_device!).catchError((error) { setState(() => _connected = false); }); setState(() => _connected = true); } else { ScaffoldMessenger.of(context).showSnackBar(const SnackBar(content: Text('Already connected'))); } }); } else { show('No device selected.'); } }

maybe you should change _connect void like this. for me it's working

Hi @nipzyaw88 I have the same problem. It was working fine, after I upgraded my flutter to 3.3.0 it stopped working.

I have not really understood your solution and how it should help.

I really appreciate it, if you can explain it more.

Thank you.

well i didn't try this plugin on 3.3.0 yet. i got 2.10.5 n it's working fine. anyway is there any error? please describe what error you got. maybe i can help you.

by the way the change i've made is on the _connect void the if (isConnected == true) and i set it to false

That's the stack trace when the connect method is called:

I tried it with an external printer and it's working fine. It seems that only the internal printer has a problem.

When I try with an internal app coming with the device, I could print something. So the printers is not broken. Only my app cannot access it anymore.
