I am started freelancing almost 10 years ago when I was in my first year in university. I was an Android dev freelance, so my experience should be similar to Flutter(currently flutter dev):- it is really hard to freelance and study in university, especially until you have enough experience. In my case, during 2-3 years my life had only two parts: study and work. Work experience is very helpful now, but such schedule not for everyone;- I started from 100$ per app contracts on Upwork (something like quiz guess 1 from 4 ). At the start one app took 100+ hours so my actually rate was ~1 per hour- Motivation: I really like making mobile apps from scratch. Not just finish my own tasks in big thing. I choose project where I can be more like product owner. Help client choose features, prepare AppStore/GooglePlay metadata, do ASO, hire translators + UI/UX designers if need etc. Of course, money is good to point too. I am from Eastern Europe and work for US/Western Europe clients, so I was always satisfied with my salary.- No reputation is ok. I suggest making a small Github sample project to be able to show your code quality for clients. Or you can join an existing open source project. For example https://github.com/Big-Fig/Fediverse.app (Flutter mobile client for an open-source alternative to Twitter on which I working on). Having several articles about Flutter on Medium is useful too.- I prefer small businesses because I like to make app from scratch myself. Another side is big companies where you work only in one specific area in big team. Small business app usually takes ~1 year to develop, so you will have not problems with finding a new job each month.- Currently, work 30h per week. At the start of the career, it was 50-70 per week to maintain a comfortable release schedule for clients. Several years ago worked ~10h. When you have experience work hours is flexible.- Salary. Flutter is really hot right now. I think you can expect to find 10-20$ per hour job if you have a small GitHub project as a code sample + several medium articles about Flutter. Median on Upwork, I think, it is 30-50$ per hour on Upwork. However, I know devs who workin for 75$, 85$ and even 150$ per hour for US-based clients through Upwork and LinkedIn

(This new version will be endorsed by google_sign_in: ^6.0.0, once this PR lands: https://github.com/flutter/plugins/pull/7191, probably next week. This was made a major version change so people can test and update at their own pace.)

Looking at the web version of the video player package which doesn't use textures but VideoElement DOM nodes, I'd guess that textures aren't supported.

It's not 100% true that Flutter doesn't offer any first party native features. These plugins are maintained by the Flutter team: https://github.com/flutter/plugins/tree/main/packages

Here's an example: https://github.com/flutter/plugins. As you can see, that repo has no "issues" tab. And it mentions that issues should be created on the Flutter repo itself

There's work in progress to create a new camera plugin using CameraX: https://github.com/flutter/plugins/pull/6158

The plugins is missing Issues tab currently. It's hard for developers who need to raise or find issues on packages.
