FLUTTER SDK BREAKS: DATETIME EVERYWHERE, GOTRUE DROPS LEGACY API FALLBACKS

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Supabase

Supabase Flutter ships three breaking changes at once: all timestamps are now DateTime objects, session storage moves to SharedPreferencesAsync, and GoTrue kills pre-2024 API version negotiation.

The Flutter SDK's timestamp overhaul [1] replaces raw ISO strings and Unix ints with parsed DateTime objects across Session, User, and Auth types, forcing a compile-time migration for any code reading `expiresAt`, `createdAt`, or confirmation timestamps. This ships alongside a critical session persistence fix [2] where the default storage now uses the async SharedPreferences API instead of the legacy one, preventing session loss on Windows and Linux when apps have already migrated their own code. A third breaking change [3] removes GoTrue's runtime API version sniffing and the error-parsing fallbacks it drove, cleaning up two years of compatibility shims and bringing the SDK in line with a 2024-01-01 API cutoff that's already been enforced server-side. On the platform side, the main repo ships a doc overhaul for diagnosing stuck and blocked queries [4], notebook read tools for the AI agent [5], and flips Envoy to the default API gateway in self-hosted setups now that Kong's OSS line is frozen [6]. CLI work continues its Go-to-TypeScript port with functions download [8] completed and v2 Management API namespace support added [9]. Agent skills gains a structured debugging workflow [7] that gives developers an evidence-first troubleshooting loop instead of guessing.
