Description

When I try to invoke a platform channel method from a custom spawned isolate, the app crashes badly (both on iOS and Android). I'm trying to figure out whether this is expected or not.

If it's not, it's probably worth to mention that somewhere.

Anyways I think that this can potentially be a strong limitation. Is there a way to be able to call platform plugins from a secondary isolate?
