Flutter 1.9.1 release notes
Hello and welcome to another stable release of Flutter. So far this year, we’ve been right on target with one stable release each quarter, as per our plan (well, less of a plan and more of a goal, but still, it’s been working out pretty well so far…). This release is our biggest yet, with 620 Pull Requests merged from 116 contributors. As always, the interesting PRs are listed below. And there are lots of interesting things to discuss in this release, including:
- One regression fixed but also one added
- Some breaking API changes
- Some severe issues caught and fixed
- Support for macOS Catalina and iOS 13
- A number of new features
- And more!
And to be clear, when I say “we,” I mean the Flutter community as a whole. The Flutter team couldn’t possibly continue to scale as we have without all of our contributors, no matter who your employer is. Thanks everyone for your contributions!
Regressions
In this release, we fixed one regression (37955 Update shader warm-up for recent Skia changes) and caused another (38167 Incremental compiler re-issuing of errors from constant evaluator). The new regression is fixed after the 1.9.1 stable release (00d14e7 [CFE] Always start constant evaluation error where we are asked to evaluate), so if you’re seeing it, you can choose a more recent build to bring it into your Flutter apps.
Breaking API Changes
We try hard not to make breaking changes, but we also don’t want to create unintuitive APIs as we move Flutter forward to new scenarios and new platforms. These are the breaking changes in this release. Please see the associated announcements so you can move your code forward.

New Features

To see these widgets in action, check out short ToggleButtons and ColorFilter samples. Also, the SelectableText widget allows the user to select read-only text.

macOS Catalina Support
With the release of macOS Catalina just around the corner, we’ve made sure that our tooling continues to work smoothly as you migrate to Catalina, iOS 13 and Xcode 11. I should note that you’ll want to upgrade to the Flutter 1.9.1 stable release before upgrading to Catalina. The other order works, too, but you’ll see an error when you do it that way (the error is benign, but still…).

Android
The biggest addition to Android this release is support for a new flutter command: ‘flutter build aar’. This new build command works just like ‘flutter build apk’ or ‘flutter build appbundle’, but for plugins and module projects. By building the plugins as AARs, the Android Gradle plugin can use Jetifier to translate support libraries into AndroidX libraries for all the plugin’s native code, which reduces the error rate when using AndroidX in apps.
