1.1.16 cannot show emojis

[edukun]

1.1.16 break emojis. If you try to load a message with an emoji, you get this error:

invalid argument(s) string is not well-formed utf-16

Rolling back to 1.1.15 fixes the problem. With this configuration:

dependencies:
dash_chat: 1.1.15
dependency_overrides:
intl: ^0.17.0
uuid: ^3.0.0

Any fix here ? Really need that 1.1.16 cause working with both dash_chat and flutter_parsed_text 2.2, 1.1.15 need flutter_parsed_text 1.1 which not work with my current code.

@fayeed Any updates on this?

Bump. I was planning on making my own chat interface anyways but having one that works in the meantime would be nice. @Johan-glitch1412 the fix you mentioned doesn't work for me.

Took me a while to figure this out. Use a custom text builder, something as below:

...
messageTextBuilder: buildTextMessage,
...

Widget buildTextMessage(String? text, [ChatMessage? message]) {
    bool isUser = message!.user.uid == vm.user.uid;
    return ParsedText(
      parse: [],
      regexOptions: RegexOptions(unicode: true),
      text: message.text!,
      style: TextStyle(
        color: message.user.color ??
            (isUser ? Colors.white70 : Colors.black87),
      ),
    );
}

The default builder took regexOptions with unicode = false causing the error.
