I’m new on the Flutter & working on the integration of POS printing machine in flutter & using the pos_printer_manager package.
It shows an error in the catch part of this package i.e.
type 'Future<bool?>' is not a subtype of type 'FutureOr<bool>' in type cast
& pointing out in this code
/// [writeBytes] let you write raw list int data into socket
@override
Future<ConnectionResponse> writeBytes(List<int> data,
{bool isDisconnect: true}) async {
try {
if (!isConnected) {
await connect();
}
if (Platform.isAndroid || Platform.isIOS) {
if ((await (bluetooth.isConnected as FutureOr<bool>))) {
Uint8List message = Uint8List.fromList(data);
PosPrinterManager.logger.warning("message.length ${message.length}");
await bluetooth.writeBytes(message);
if (isDisconnect) {
await disconnect();
}
return ConnectionResponse.success;
}
return ConnectionResponse.printerNotConnected;
}
// else if (Platform.isIOS) {
// // var services = (await fbdevice.discoverServices());
// // var service = services.firstWhere((e) => e.isPrimary);
// // var charactor =
// // service.characteristics.firstWhere((e) => e.properties.write);
// // await charactor?.write(data, withoutResponse: true);
// return ConnectionResponse.success;
// }
return ConnectionResponse.unsupport;
} catch (e) {
print("Error : $e");
return ConnectionResponse.unknown;
}
}
This is due to bluetooth.isConnected as FutureOr<bool>
.
So any big difference between Future<bool?>
& FutureOr<bool>
?
Basically I faced type casting error in the package & I need a solution to handle this on the package side & how to manage the optional.

Resolved it by a simple check:
Based on your findings typecast is not required, it requires a null check
change this it to
