Dependency conflict: pdf ^3.11.1 incompatible with image ^4.5.2

[dwzrlp]

Hello,

I encountered a dependency conflict when using pdf version ^3.11.1 alongside image version ^4.5.2. The issue arises because of the following dependency constraints:
1. pdf ^3.11.1 requires archive ^3.4.0.
2. image ^4.5.2 requires archive ^4.0.2.

This results in an incompatibility between pdf and image dependencies:

Because no versions of pdf match >3.11.1 <4.0.0 and pdf 3.11.1 depends on archive ^3.4.0, pdf ^3.11.1 requires archive ^3.4.0.
And because image 4.5.2 depends on archive ^4.0.2 and no versions of image match >4.5.2 <5.0.0, pdf ^3.11.1 is incompatible with image ^4.5.2.
So, because smart_by_jarod depends on both image ^4.5.2 and pdf ^3.11.1, version solving failed.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new Dart/Flutter project.
2. Add the following dependencies to pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
pdf: ^3.11.1
image: ^4.5.2

3.	Run flutter pub get or dart pub get.

Expected Behavior:

Dependencies resolve successfully.

Actual Behavior:

Version solving fails due to the conflicting archive dependency versions.

Proposed Solution:

Consider updating the archive dependency in the pdf package to be compatible with archive ^4.0.2. Alternatively, providing a range of compatible versions for archive would make it easier to resolve such conflicts.

Environment:
• Flutter version: 3.27.1 (stable)
• Dart version: 3.6.0
• OS: macOS 15.2 (darwin-arm64)
• Android toolchain: Android SDK version 35.0.0
• Xcode version: 16.2
• CocoaPods version: 1.16.2
• Java version: OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 21.0.3+-79915917-b509.11)

Additional Context:

Let me know if you need further details or logs. Thank you for your time and effort in maintaining this package!

Hi, came to upvote this. archive is a common dependency, any chance we get a newer version around here?

any update on this?

I suggest anyone who encountered this can temporarily resolve the issue by changing the dependency setting of the pdf package in pub.dev/pdf-3.x.x/pubspec.yaml

from

dependencies:
  archive: ^3.4.0

to

dependencies:
  archive: '>=3.4.0'

Then execute flutter pub get in your project directory if needed.
