Uint64List not supported on flutter web

i have an error with Uint64List in flutter Web (in pointycastle lib)

var length = Uint8List.view((Uint64List(2)..[0] = iv.length * 8).buffer);

"Error: Unsupported operation: Uint64List not supported on the web.

Do you know how to fix that ? Thx

Solution

  • For all practical values of IV length, you can fit the value in a 32 bit int. The following equivalent code runs fine in Dartpad and gives the same result as the above code in VM.

    import 'dart:typed_data';

void main() {
  final iv = Uint8List(12);

  final length = Uint8List.view((Uint32List(4)..[0] = iv.length * 8).buffer);

  print(length);
}

    And, similarly, this:

    var len = Uint8List.view((Uint32List(4)
      ..[2] = aad!.length * 8
      ..[0] = _processedBytes * 8)
    .buffer);
