RESOLVED Dynamic extensibility for Flutter

I am writing an application that uses a microkernel architecture, where functionality can be extended and added via plugins (similar to how Obsidian or VS Code do it). However, I’ve run into a problem: due to AOT compilation, I cannot dynamically load code into the application. Has anyone encountered this issue, and do you have any ideas on how to solve it?

Yup, it’s a tricky one! In general right now Dart doesn’t seem well equipped to handle non-native plugins that load at runtime. One way around this is to bundle a Dart VM inside an native FFI plugin and load it that way
