@remonh87 project is building fine for me in Android +Ios+Web , not sure why these checks are failing
Also is there any way , that i can create my own package, something like
flutter_reactive_ble_web_extension
And use it in project something like this

FlutterReactiveBle ble = FlutterReactiveBle(
WebExtension: FlutterReactiveBleWeb,
WindowsExtension : .......
)

@rohitsangwan01 we would prefer if you use a separate package and publish it yourself :) . We of course can add your package to the readme. @Taym95 what do you think?

[rohitsangwan01]

@remonh87 yes but my current project is totally based on flutter_reactive_ble , and now i have to add other platforms support as well , so i wanted a way somehow , add support for different platforms without touching code , as Android/Ios is already stable ,and this web and Desktop (Windows + mac+linux) extensions i added to this package are already available in other packages
am contributing to quick_blue package too, so here i just added quick_blue to do the native tasks , and for web am using flutter_web_bluetooth
, so i guess no sense in uploading new packages right, but if i can somehow extend flutter_reactive_ble , by using my github repo or something ,
i know last option is to use my fork , but if possible , i wanted to use
this kind of option i, in which , for Android/Ios i can use official flutterReactiveBLe , and for other platforms i can use ReactiveBlePlatformFactory of my fork ,and even it will be helpfull for other peoples too if they want to extend their platform support , or wanted to test
or another last option in my case is to create two projects , one with official package for Mobile , and one with Desktop/Web support only using my fork
any suggestions ,if there is something else i can try , without creating two projects

Totally agree with @remonh87, we want to keep this repo for IOS/Android, and we are open to endorsing plugins for other platforms.

[rohitsangwan01]

@remonh87 @Taym95 okk great, we can go with endorsing

@rohitsangwan01 When you have the repo setup do you mind posting it here? I'd love to incorporate into my project.

[rohitsangwan01]

@FXschwartz ,Sure , for now you can try out web version by downloading my fork , and add in your project locally , am still implementing this in my project , so might change few things later , for me , everything is working on Web , same as Mobile for now , also read Docs of reactive_ble_web before using that, there are some changes required in project to add web support

[stargazing-dino]

Just a random passerby but I think it makes sense for flutter packages to not separate out platforms. Flutter itself is trying to be very cross platform by targeting most anything (whether this is good or bad) so I don't think it would be unusual to include web/mac etc. A table of platform features and yet-to-be-implemented's in the Readme is usually how I've seen other packages go about similar situations.

[Taym95]

I will close this one and looking forward for endorsing your package.

I mean cross-platform is the whole point of Flutter.

[remonh87]

@nobodyguy yes and thats why we moved to federated plugin structure so other people of the community can step up and make a plugin for a platform based on ours. The problem is that with incorporating a new platform we increase the maintenance load with at least 33% per platform. We all do this in our free time and already struggle to answer all issues in this repo.
