PlatformException recreating_view

[jnorkus]

After upgrading to Flutter 3.27.0 I am getting this error on an iOS simulator (haven't tested on a device) after hot restarting. Also, the map view does not properly load.

Unhandled Exception: PlatformException(recreating_view, trying to create an already created view, view id: '0', null)

Hi @jnorkus, I can't reproduce the issue with Flutter 3.27, could you share a code snippet?

Hi! I’m also experiencing the same issue after upgrading to Flutter 3.27.0, specifically when performing a hot restart on the iOS simulator.

Hi @jnorkus, I can't reproduce the issue with Flutter 3.27, could you share a code snippet?

I was able to reproduce using the example project.

1. Run on iOS simulator
2. Go to "Display a simple map"
3. Do a hot restart
4. Go to "Display a simple map"

@jnorkus thank you for the clarification, still no luck on my side replicating this, could you share iOS and Xcode version you are using?

@jnorkus thank you for the clarification, still no luck on my side replicating this, could you share iOS and Xcode version you are using?

iOS 17.2
Xcode 15.2

I'll try upgrading my macOS to get the latest version of Xcode and see if that helps.

Same results on:
iOS 18.2
Xcode 16.2

Reproducable on the example app in this repo as before. Please note that you have to do a hot restart (not hot reload).

I got the same issue, and just so you know downgrading to flutter v3.24.5 solved the issue. Do you need help to reproduce @evil159?
