Is there any helper function or Package that helps in Twilio Sms flutter application

Question

I am trying to create a flutter application that sends SMS to relatives of an elderly person if he has not consumed his medicine on time. I was planning on using Twilio but there is not enough documentation and resources for me to implement it. Please help

Have you checked out this Dart helper library for Twilio?

Add a dependency to twilio_dart to your pubspec.yaml
Run pub get
Get a key and authentication code from your Twilio console. The account is limited but free.

Now you can make a new Twilio object with your account details like so:

import 'package:twilio_dart/twilio.dart';

var key = "your_twilio_key";
var authToken = "your_auth_token";
var version = "2010-04-01";
//create a new twilio object
Twilio twilio = new Twilio(key, authToken, version);

To send a SMS with this, add

var from = "your_twilio_phone";
var to = "your_mobile_number";
var body = "Look ma! Dart can now send SMS's in under 15 lines";

and check out the repo for more!

I Already tried that package. It generates this error. The current Dart SDK version is 2.7.0. Because *******_app depends on twilio_dart any which requires SDK version >=0.8.10+6 <2.0.0, version solving failed. pub get failed (1; Because elderly_app depends on twilio_dart any which requires SDK version >=0.8.10+6 <2.0.0, version solving failed.) – Adarsh Balu Mar 05 '20 at 17:53
@AdarshBalu try to update your app's pubspec.yaml to `environment: sdk: ">=2.1.0 <3.0.0"` – Alex Baban Mar 06 '20 at 01:28
@AlexBaban It's already updated. The issue is with that package. – Adarsh Balu Mar 06 '20 at 09:47
@AdarshBalu can you update your question and add the code you have in pubspec.yaml for your app and also pubspec.yaml for twilio_dart? I'm trying to figure out from where that `>=0.8.10+6 <2.0.0` is coming. At GitHub twilio_dart depends of `sdk: '>=2.0.0-dev.68.0 <3.0.0'`. – Alex Baban Mar 06 '20 at 11:29

I found another way to do this using just the Http package

import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;

import 'dart:convert';



void sendSMS() async {

  var cred =

      'ACCOUNT_SID:AUTH_TOKEN';

  var bytes = utf8.encode(cred);

  var base64Str = base64.encode(bytes);

  var url =

      'https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/ACCOUNT_SID/Messages.json';

  var response = await http.post(url, headers: {

    'Authorization': 'Basic ${base64Str}'

  }, body: {

    'From': '+xxxxxxxx', //twilio number

    'To': '+15558675310',

    'Body': 'Hello world!'

  });

  print('Response status: ${response.statusCode}');

  print('Response body: ${response.body}');

}

Using this function we can send SMS from a Twilio Number. Correct me if I'm wrong. Cheers.
