Flutter 2: problem in Intl null safety library

Question

I upgrade my flutter sdk to flutter 2.0.0. After updating sdk I have changed almost all libraries to null safety version:

environment:
  sdk: '>=2.12.0 <3.0.0'

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter
  flutter_localizations:
    sdk: flutter 
  cupertino_icons: ^0.1.3
  encrypt: ^4.1.0
  flutter_hooks: ^0.15.0
  flutter_map: ^0.11.0
  flutter_password_strength: ^0.1.5
  flutter_svg: ^0.18.0
  geolocator: ^7.0.1
  get: ^3.25.6
  get_it: ^6.0.0
  injectable: ^1.1.2
  local_auth: ^1.1.0
  moor_flutter: ^3.1.0
  provider: ^5.0.0
  shared_preferences: ^2.0.3
  supercharged: ^1.12.0
  intl: ^0.17.0

after updating I run dart $ dart migrate command. But It shows these problem about intl plugin:

The migration tool didn't start, due to analysis errors.

I am using last version of intl ? How can I fix that?

Same problem. Cannot find solution anywhere. The intl library of version intl: 0.17.0-nullsafety.2 doesn't solve the issue in my case - it still generate without null safety. But I see that you have regular 0.17.0, can you try with 0.17.0-nullsafety.2 version of intl? I wonder if it will help you, then it would be something on my side. Please reply here after you try. – Vindictive

I had the same issue. Here are 3 steps to troubleshoot this:

1. First of all, update intl dependency in pubspec.yaml to this:

   intl: 0.17.0-nullsafety.2

2. If still doesn't work, then add these 2 fields in the root.

   dependency_overrides: intl: 0.17.0-nullsafety.2

3. Generation also can happen via plugin in Android Studio. I used old one (v 0.12) and after I updated to (v 0.14) it started to generate null safety dart files for localization.

I think I stepped on every rock here.
