I unfortunately didn't keep great records at the time (probably because I was so pissed off), but my app [1] has gone through some dependency hell on more than one occasion. I've more or less stepped back from the project but the thing that sticks out to me the most is when I left the project for several months, then tried to re-clone and re-build the app to fix a bug. I ended up having to change at least a few depenencies and even send in an upstream PR to get things working (thankfully accepted quickly) before I could compile because something had somehow changed in those few months. Fixing it took a couple days of effort, which for a toy side-project almost killed it on the spot.

In my experience, Flutter is the worst cross-platform mobile development tool; except for all the others.
