Android app just crashes on startup just by adding the plugin to pubspec.yaml

Just by simply adding the package the Android version crashes on startup. iOS works perfectly in debug and released version. We are not refering to the qrcode_reader anywhere in our code. We have android.permission.CAMERA in uses.permissions. Removing the package from pubspec.yaml gets the app going on Android again.

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter
  http: ^0.12.0
  shared_preferences: ^0.5.6
  qrcode_reader:
    git:
      url: git://github.com/bcko/flutter_qrcode_reader.git
      ref: f47a459

  # The following adds the Cupertino Icons font to your application.
  # Use with the CupertinoIcons class for iOS style icons.
  cupertino_icons: ^0.1.2

dev_dependencies:
  flutter_test:
    sdk: flutter

Flutter doctor.

Dit you get the pubspec.yaml to get the plugin as:

qrcode_reader: git: https://github.com/bcko/flutter_qrcode_reader.git

I can not publish to pub.dev unfortunately.

Had the same issue, adding the .git package worked for me. 4 days trying to solve this crap! Thanks for the fix.
