What is the role of the pubspec.yaml file in a Flutter project?

The pubspec.yaml file is a crucial part of any Flutter project. It serves as the configuration file for the Flutter app.

This file allows you to:

  1. Define Dependencies: Specify the packages your app needs to function, including both Flutter SDK and third-party packages.
  2. Set Metadata: Provide information such as the app name, description, version, and author.
  3. Assets Management: Declare any assets (images, fonts) your app will use.

Here's a basic example of a pubspec.yaml file:

name: my_flutter_app
version: 1.0.0

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter
  http: ^0.13.3

flutter:
  assets:
