Replace Flutter's built-in Icon widget with FaIcon from font_awesome_flutter to accommodate IconData being marked as final in Flutter 3.44.0. This change ensures compatibility with the latest Flutter stable release while maintaining the existing UI and user experience.

Changes:

  • Upgrade font_awesome_flutter to latest compatible version
  • Replace Icon(FontAwesomeIcons.) with FaIcon(FontAwesomeIcons.)
  • Update other transitive dependencies to resolve conflicts
  • Verify UI consistency and ensure no visual regressions The IconData immutability change in Flutter 3.44.0 prevents direct Icon widget usage with FontAwesome icons. FaIcon provides the proper abstraction layer for font-based icon rendering with FontAwesome, eliminating build failures while preserving all existing functionality.

Tested on:

  • Flutter 3.44.0
  • Dart 3.12.0
