I cannot retrieve SharedPreference value created in native code from Flutter app

Question

I have code that creates a shared preference on the native side. When I add a value to it, I can not get it from my Dart code. Only after I restart the app or recompile, I can access the value.

Why does that happen?

Answer 1

I assume you use the shared_preferences package, which caches the shared preferences internally. You can call reload() on your shared preferences instance to fetch the latest values from the host platform:

var sharedPrefs = await SharedPreferences.getInstance();
await sharedPrefs.reload();
// sharedPrefs now contains the latest entries
