I'd argue the H in HTML is sounded, and thus a is correct in this position per https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writing/grammar/articles_a_versus_an.html

In the link, there is no instance of "a h", but twice "an h"
Exceptions
Use "an" before a silent or unsounded "h." Because the "h" does not have any phonetic representation or audible sound, the sound that follows the article is a vowel; consequently, "an" is used.
an honorable peace
an honest error

I'd argue the H in HTML is sounded
For an initialism it doesn't really make sense to say a letter is sounded or unsounded; the sound of the letters isn't used at all.
The deciding factor is the pronunciation of the letter H as a word. Since Flutter style uses US English spelling, we should spell this based on prevailing US pronunciation (which starts with an "ay"/"ai" sound), making "an" correct.

Since HTML is pronounced with an A at the beginning (at least by around [85%](https://english.stackexchange.com/a/23762) of people), it should [probably](https://english.stackexchange.com/a/25746) be spelled `an HTML`.
