[package_info_plus] Does not work on Linux, Unhandled Exception: MissingPluginException(No implementation found for method getAll on channel dev.fluttercommunity.plus/package_info)

[richardjharris]

System info

Platform the Issue occurs on: Linux
Plugin name: package_info_plus
Plugin version: 1.4.0

Steps to Reproduce

1. I added await PackageInfo.fromPlatform() to a function called from a Drawer, to get the version and call showAboutDialog
2. When the Drawer calls the function, no about dialog appears.
3. Debug console shows the following

[ERROR:flutter/lib/ui/ui_dart_state.cc(209)] Unhandled Exception: MissingPluginException(No implementation found for method getAll on channel dev.fluttercommunity.plus/package_info)

I already tried running flutter clean and restarting, so I am not sure what to do.

I've also got this issue on Windows Desktop. One of my packages use this package as its dependencies, and now im stuck :( Can you please prioritize this one?

This should be fixed in #574
@vbuberen I think we should release a newer version of package_info_plus_windows and package_info_plus_linux.
A temporary workaround is adding override to your pubspec.yaml to use main branch.

dependency_overrides:
  package_info_plus_windows:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/fluttercommunity/plus_plugins.git
      ref: main
      path: packages/package_info_plus/package_info_plus_windows
  package_info_plus_linux:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/fluttercommunity/plus_plugins.git
      ref: main
      path: packages/package_info_plus/package_info_plus_linux

@mhadaily as this comment the code in the repository already works for linux and windows, it would only be needed to update the versions and changelog in the package_info_plus_* and package_info_plus and update it at pub.dev so that users don't have to use the workarounds of using a lesser version or overriding the dependency with the latest on main. Should I make a PR with this changes? It would also potentially close #806 , #760, #747

@fabiancrx PR is always welcome, please do and properly mention that.
