Dart Analysis Server crash on flutter plugin development

[leoneparise]

I'm developing a new plugin for flutter framework. When I do a pod install, which create a .symlinks into example/ios folder, it crashes the Dart Analysis Server.

Is there a way to prevent the analyzer to follow the .symlinks folder?.

This is the same issue as #36919.

It turns out this issue is fixed, but the fix hasn't made the Flutter stable channel. You could try switching to beta/dev as a short-term fix until the fix reaches stable.
