Great question! If you’re creating a Flutter package, you’re likely building for multiple platforms, but you need to decide which ones your package will officially support — and that’s totally fine!

Here’s how to select the platforms your Flutter package supports:


Step 1: Check your pubspec.yaml

In your package’s root directory, open the pubspec.yaml file.

You’ll see this section:

publish_to: 'none' # Remove this if you plan to publish to pub.dev

And under the description or version, you’ll see:

platforms:
  android: 'any'
  ios: 'any'
  web: 'any'
  windows: 'any'
  macos: 'any'
  linux: 'any'
  // You can also specify minimum versions if needed

🚨 Important: If you’re not targeting a specific platform, you can omit the platforms section — Flutter will assume your package supports all platforms by default, unless you specify otherwise.


Step 2: Use the platforms key to restrict support

If you want to restrict your package to only certain platforms, add this under pubspec.yaml:

platforms:
  android: '>=3.0.0'
  ios: '>=13.0.0'

You can also omit platforms you don’t support — for
