Instead of a successful build, the compiler halts with a blocking error: Error: Dart library 'dart:html' is not available on this platform. This error is the single most common blocker for Flutter developers migrating to Wasm. It occurs because the legacy dart:html library relies on dynamic JavaScript interop mechanisms that are incompatible with the strict typing required by WasmGC (Garbage Collection). To compile to Wasm, you must migrate your code from dart:html and dart:js to the modern package:web and dart:js_interop . This guide details the root cause and provides the precise code refactoring required to fix it. The Root Cause: Why dart:html Is Incompatible with Wasm Historically, Flutter Web (via the dart2js compiler) intera...
