This change should help people avoid compilation issues caused by Java compatibility issues in old
video_player_android
versions as mentioned in flutter/flutter#156111 (comment)Bumped to
2.7.9
as this is the version which had changes for Java compatibility as mentioned in the linked comment and plugin's changelogs: https://pub.dev/packages/video_player_android/changelog#279I understand that running
flutter pub upgrade
should resolve the issue, but it is not always possible to not get into dependency update hell in big projects.The motivation to open such PR is the same as #6355 - to let people get proper fixed versions even if they don't run
flutter pub upgrade
for their whole project.Resolves flutter/flutter#157691
