UI freezes when checking for package updates

[josh-burton]

When the plugin checks for package updates (when first opening the pubspec for example) the UI can freeze for a long time, sometimes up to 30-40 seconds.

I investigated and fixed this issue in the FlutterPubVersionChecker plugin: pszklarska/FlutterPubVersionChecker#8

What do you think of this approach?

Thanks for pointing this out. I will change the version checking to run on coroutines in the next version.

Hey, do you have a ETA on when we getting this release? The plugin is AMAZING but this freeze sometimes is very annoying because it freezes the entire IDE.

@shinayser I'll probably release an update next week 😄 Sorry again mate, but I the next update should stop your IDE from freezing.
