It seems that wrapping your App with BetterFeedback() from the feedback package is causing a color change in the AppBar due to the feedback package’s theming overriding your app's ThemeData.

Cause:

BetterFeedback introduces its own theming, which might conflict with your app's ThemeData, causing the AppBar color to change. To fix this, you need to explicitly set theme and darkTheme in the BetterFeedback widget to match your app's color scheme.

Warning

Explicitly Set Theme: Pass your app’s colorScheme and brightness to the BetterFeedback widget.
Import Latest Feedback Version: Ensure you are using the latest version of the feedback package by importing it from the GitHub main branch.

Steps to Implement:

1. Update pubspec.yaml:

   dependencies:
     feedback:
       git:
         url: https://github.com/ueman/feedback.git
         ref: main
   

2. Set the Theme Explicitly: Pass your app's colorScheme and brightness to the BetterFeedback widget to ensure theming consistency.

   void main() async {
     runApp(
       BetterFeedback(
         // Set your app's color scheme and brightness here
         theme: FeedbackThemeData(
           colorScheme: // your light color scheme
           brightness: Brightness.light,
         ),
         darkTheme: FeedbackThemeData(
           colorScheme: // your dark color scheme
           brightness: Brightness.dark,  
         ),
         child: const App(),
       ),
     );
   }
   

Tip

If you want your app to run a few milliseconds faster, consider buying me a coffee! ☕😉
