[shared_perferences] getStringList in new APIs doesn't work correctly on Windows/Linux #153106
Description
Steps to reproduce
Use getStringList with SharedPreferencesAsync on Windowx 64.
A workaround would be to use the legacy API again :)
final prefs = await SharedPreferences.getInstance();
summaryList = prefs.getStringList(settingsKey) ?? [];Expected results
It works.
Actual results
Type Error:
type 'List<dynamic>' is not a subtype of type 'List<String>?' in type cast
Code sample
Code sample
static Future<List<Summary>> loadSummaries() async {
final prefs = SharedPreferencesAsync();
try {
final summaryList = await prefs.getStringList('summaryList') ?? [];
return summaryList.map((jsonString) {
final jsonMap = jsonDecode(jsonString);
return Summary.fromJson(jsonMap);
}).toList();
} catch (e) {
if (e is TypeError) {
debugPrint("[Summary] SummaryList is corrupted: $e");
}
return [];
}
