Hello,
I am a single developer and I'm trying to develop some mobil app. I'm glad saw your product. And I started to use it for some tests for my app.
But i faced with some issues, while using getReport() api call. I just want to get current report object which I updated using toolbar.
Code is as following...
// _pivot is a variable which declared alreay as a Flexmonster
final report = _pivot.getReport();
Exception is ;
ERROR:flutter/runtime/dart_vm_initializer.cc(41)] Unhandled Exception: FormatException: Unexpected character (at line 2, character 5)
creationDate = "2024-07-13T13:03:40.295Z";
^
Thanks for advance 🙂

Hello again,
Found some problem in flutter_flexmonster.dart.
///This API call returns report JSON object as string
Future<dynamic> getReport() async {
WebViewController apiController=await controller.future;
String reportString=await apiController.runJavascriptReturningResult("flexmonster.getReport()");
dynamic report=jsonDecode(reportString); // here : reportString is not a json string!!!
return report;
}

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
In our investigation, we were unable to replicate this specific error. However, a similar error was observed in the stack trace when we intentionally set the report as an invalid JSON object.
Please note that the string in the stack trace does not adhere to valid JSON syntax. You mentioned updating the report via the Toolbar; we suppose that the invalid report could have been passed by loading a custom report. To see if this is the case, we recommend testing getReport after loading our sample report through the "Report" tab: https://cdn.flexmonster.com/reports/report.json
For more information, refer to our integration guide with Flutter or check code examples in our GitHub sample project.
We are looking forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards,
Maksym

Hello again,
I found out the real issue. It works on android simulator very well but not on ios simulator.
Can you please test it an inform me?
Thanks in advance.

Hello, Kadri!
Thank you for sharing this with us.
We could reproduce this behavior while testing on iOS. Our team will investigate this issue and provide a fix in one of the upcoming minor releases, ETA Aug 19th. As a possible workaround, you could directly call the getReport via JavaScript from WebViewController:
import 'package:webview_flutter/webview_flutter.dart';
//Other code
WebViewController controller = await pivot.controller.future;
String report = await controller.runJavascriptReturningResult('flexmonster.getReport()');
This code would return the report as a string. Even if the report is malformed, some information can still be retrieved.
Please let us know if this would work for you.
Best Regards,
Maksym

I solved this issue already by using the way almost same. Just I updated your code 😉 But that was not enough, so I converted the information to json 😉
Summary: I can wait until your update. But my license is trial and might not wait 😉
Whatever thanks a lot!

Hello again
Thank you for informing me about new version and fix. I tried new version already and ios is fixed but for android I had to use a tricky way, because it returns as string on android platform. But this is not a big problem. It can be solved by handling platforms.
I just suggest for flutter version, you to use webvlew_flutter newest version instead 3.04.
I sent you updated file ...
Sincerely,
Kadri.

Hello, Kadri!
Thank you for confirming that the fix worked on your end.
We appreciate the suggestion regarding updating the webvlew_flutter library within the flutter_flexmonster. We will add this to our wishlist and include it in one of our future releases.
Please let us know if any other questions arise.
Best Regards,
Maksym
