Dependency on `image: 4.5.4` throws build errors for wasm

[lreardon]

From the dependency graph with flutter_native_splash: 2.4.7:

When compiling for web:

I suspect that updating the dependency on image to 4.8.0 (latest) may resolve this issue.

You're right — this is caused by the image package version resolved in your pubspec.lock.

The WASM compatibility fix was introduced in image v4.6.0 (changelog):

"Clean up validation errors causing Wasm builds to fail"

The current constraint in pubspec.yaml is ^4.5.4 (which means >=4.5.4 <5.0.0), so it technically allows 4.6.0+. However, if your pubspec.lock pinned an older version before the fix, it won't auto-update.

Workaround:

flutter pub upgrade image

This should resolve to 4.8.0 (latest) and fix the WASM build errors.

A more permanent fix would be bumping the minimum constraint in pubspec.yaml from ^4.5.4 to ^4.6.0 so that no one can resolve a WASM-incompatible version.
