   What would you like the web implementation of package_info to do? I can't really think of natural web implementations of these: https://pub.dev/documentation/package_info/latest/package_info/PackageInfo-class.html

   The most important feature is the version and the build number of the app. Maybe the version and build number could be inserted at compile time and then be read by the plugin? All the other features don't matter for me, but should be supported in some way for completeness.

   @hterkelsen This one is easy to answer:

   appName - the name of the application that's placed into the Index.html TITLE tag. Maybe the description, that can be discussed, because:

   packageName - might be the name entry from the pubspec.yaml instead.

   version - pubspec.yaml version before the plus

   buildNumber - pubspec.yaml version after the plus

    @hterkelsen I would like to ask you that within this plugin the macos implementation didn't add the package_info into another directory of it so do i leave it or follow the instruction from your medium article

    It can! Thanks @balvinderz!

    Take a look at package_info_plus, it supports web!

    Closing this as done!

    So... package_info_plus doesn't work really well for web - at least for me it wasn't finding version.json.

    I think that the best approach is generating static info at build time from pubspec.yaml and there's already a package for that! https://pub.dev/packages/build_pubspec

    The package generates pubspec.yaml dart code at build time, so we're able to retrieve those infos and use them without all of those async await calls.

    Of course, these infos have to be manipulated properly (eg: split version by + to get build and version name) and they also don't reflect the real platform files (eg: if you change something directly on platform files that are not generated from pubspec.yaml), but despite these problems I think that its a good alternative.

    Note: the only prop I don't see being generated here is the appName, but at least for me, it's not needed - and also probably can be added in pubspec + generated
