I post here again my answer from my plugin (pichillilorenzo/flutter_inappwebview#390 (comment)):

I see that you don't call WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized() before you are running your application.
As stated in the README.md file of my plugin, almost at the top of it (IMPORTANT Note for Android and iOS), you need to call it before runApp:

void main() {
 // it should be the first line in main method
 WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();

 // rest of your app code
 runApp(MyApp());
}

Now it should work.

Official wiki https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/widgets/WidgetsFlutterBinding/ensureInitialized.html

@sarbagyastha This should be added also to your documentation!

I believe this is not the problem. I also have this issue, and I'm definitely calling WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized() before running the app. The problem is that this package conflicts fatally with packages which run Android's AlarmManager.

This is essentialy a duplicate of this issue on the flutter_inappwebview package. See there for a full reporoducible example of the error.

The author flutter_inappwebview package is working on a fix for this issue, it will be available in flutter_inappwebview version 3.4.0. When that comes out, if @sarbagyastha updates youtube_player_flutter to use that version of inappwebview, the problem will be resolved

@pichillilorenzo Thank you, will add it.

Waiting for the update.

[pichillilorenzo]

@sarbagyastha Published new 3.4.0 version!

[sarbagyastha]

@sarbagyastha Published new 3.4.0 version!

@pichillilorenzo Thanks 🎉

[sarbagyastha]

Updated flutter_inappwebview version constraint to >=3.4.0<3.5.0.
