Using appwrite's rest api vs flutter sdk in flutterflow

I realized the documentation for appwrite's rest api isn't as extensive as the sdks (flutter in my case).

Is it true that the sdk allows for more flexibility when integrating appwrite to your front end or it simply depends on what one prefers to use?

SDK makes it easier...when writing code because things like chunked uploads and sessions are handled automatically.

when i wrote Connecting FlutterFlow to Appwrite there was limited support for using the Appwrite SDK. that may have changed now.

(btw, make sure to upvote Appwrite on the Integration Wishlist so that FlutterFlow creates a native integration)

We have plenty of docs on the rest API. what are you stuck with?

i'm having implementing the SDK on flutterflow. No matter what I try ff doesn't seem to be accepting appwrite's pubdev package. I'm getting this error

and when I add the provider 2.2.5 dependencies it throws another error: Error: Failed running flutter pub get...
Because custom_widget depends on path_provider ^2.1.5 which doesn't match any versions, version solving failed.

what am I doing wrongly here because i'm sure others have done this successfully before. This is driving me bonkers.

MY Platform UI is already built now connecting my frontend in flutterflow form firebase to appwrite

I think you need to either upgrade or downgrade the path provider version, I was working on connecting appwrite with flutterflow I encountered the same error that what I did and it work completely fine for me? I use appwrite for auth including OAuth2 in flutterflow

what does path_provider have to do with adding appwrite?

i've already tried downgrading it. 2.1.15 is the latest and it isn't working either way

I think you should keep downgrading, I don’t remember exactly which version for me
