[iOS] NumberParserLibphonenumber.formatted: Failed to format phone number

[aytunch]

flutter: [DEBUG] 17:51:12 NumberParserLibphonenumber.formatted: Failed to format phone number: +12124444444, isoCode null
flutter: Exception: PlatformException(1, The country code is invalid., null, null)

Hi @natintosh :)
On iOS I am getting this error. When I was using libphonenumber: I did not get any problems. Now I changed to libphonenumber_plugin because I use iOS & Android & Web.
I pinponted the problem to this:

Hi @aytunch...

Thanks for reaching out. I'll be pushing an update later today that fixes this.

[aytunch]

Ogunye, it would be awesome. I have been struggling for the past 2 days since I changed plugins. Would you be so kind to notify this post so I can give it a try? Thanks

[natintosh]

It's up now

[aytunch]

Thanks for the quick fix @natintosh
But I still get an exception at the exact same place
Debugger throws an exception and never enters line 36
Edit: phoneNumber: +12124444444
isoCode: EN

Hi @aytunch

I reviewed what you sent and I observed that there was a mistake with how you are young the package

So apparently EN is not a country iso code but a country language iso code.

You can view the list here for a list of country iso-codes. Then, if you don't have access to the country iso code you can pass in an empty string.

EDIT:
But this is an edge case I didn't consider. I'll try to work on a fix as soon as I can

EDIT2:
You can run getAllCountries() that returns a list of country iso codes a new property I added in this release to check for supported countries. With this you can do a check to see if that iso code is supported if not just pass an empty string

Cheers...

Thank you for the detailed answer. I will try to use the new getAllCountries
The interesting part is, I am using the exact same code I used in libphonenumber plugin, and just changed it to libphonenumber_plugin because I need web platform as well. I thougth the API and the internal workings would be same. So I mean, when I supply EN in to libphonenumber, it still does not throw an exception.

I will be debugging some more. Thank you brother.

@natintosh I confirmed your findings above.
on iOS I use Platform.localeName which returns just EN
on Web I use ui.window.locale.countryCode which returns US
And when we give these values to getRegionInfo, I get an exception in iOS.
So if your plugin can check if the isoCode is not recognized and act accordingly without throwing that would be awesome :)
Thanks again for this awesome plugin.

[natintosh]

Yeah... I'll do that. A user also faced a similar issue with my other package. I guess it has to do with the changes I made on iOS. I had to move away from an iOS package because I haven't had any updates for like 2 years now

[aytunch]

@natintosh works as expected on iOS with ^0.3.1
Thank you very much

[aytunch]

@natintosh what is meant here in the documentation? Are you suggesting using libphonenumber instead for iOS and Android? Or is there a typo? I need to know this before suggesting upgrading to this plugin from libphonenumber.

Also For Stable Android and iOS implementation use libphonenumber, since it was inspired by and has similar implementation with libphonenumber.
