Description
This is extremely frustrating. Can we please get a stable version of this SDK that actually works as expected?
These issues are affecting many developers, and it’s hard to rely on this package in production environments. Either the SDK needs proper maintenance, or it should not be listed as Flutter-compatible until stable.
We’re consistently running into critical errors like:
❌ 1. When calling loadStyleURI
[ERROR:flutter/runtime/dart_vm_initializer.cc(40)]
Unhandled Exception: PlatformException(channel-error, Unable to establish connection on channel: "dev.flutter.pigeon.mapbox_maps_flutter._MapInterface.loadStyleURI.0", null, null)
#0 _MapInterface.loadStyleURI
(package:mapbox_maps_flutter/src/pigeons/map_interfaces.dart:4514:7)
❌ 2. When calling map.flyTo
Similar PlatformException(channel-error) is thrown, preventing camera movement and breaking core functionality.
Our clients are losing trust, and this is causing serious delays in our projects. These issues seem to be widespread — please prioritize resolving them.
If this SDK is not ready for stable use, that should be clearly communicated.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the PlatformException from loadStyleURI and map.flyTo, then inspect package:mapbox_maps_flutter/src/pigeons/map_interfaces.dart around line 4514. Compare the two failures and determine the scope needed to restore these core SDK calls; done means both operations work reliably or the compatibility limitation is clearly documented.
