Font Awesome Version Conflict with markdown_editor_plus - Seeking Advice

Hi FlutterFlow Community,

I'm running into a version conflict while trying to use the markdown_editor_plus package for building a custom Markdown editor widget with live preview. The package requires font_awesome_flutter version 10.7.0, but FlutterFlow automatically includes version 10.6.0.

### Possible Solutions I'm Considering:

1. Version Override: I’m currently overriding the version but still facing issues.

2. FlutterFlow Version Update: Would it be possible for FlutterFlow to upgrade its default font_awesome_flutter version to 10.7.0 to avoid these conflicts?

### Questions:

- Has anyone successfully handled version overrides like this within FlutterFlow?

- Is there a recommended way to handle this conflict when working with packages that require newer dependencies?

- Does anyone know why FlutterFlow sticks with version 10.6.0 and if there’s a planned update?

Any insights or suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks for your help.

What have you tried so far?

- I included font_awesome_flutter: ^10.7.0 in the dependencies and received a warning stating that this would override FlutterFlow’s default version (10.6.0). I went ahead with the override.

- However, I still get dependency issues when running the project. Upon checking the pubspec.yaml, I confirmed that it correctly reflects 10.7.0, yet the conflict persists.

Did you check FlutterFlow's Documentation for this topic?
