+title: Localized messages are generated into source, not a synthetic package.
+description: >-
+  When use `package:flutter_localizations`, the default generated location
+  (and eventually, only possible location) is within your source (`lib/`)
+  directory, and not the synthetic package `package:flutter_gen`.
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+The `flutter` tool will no longer generate a synthetic `package:flutter_gen`
+or modify the `package_config.json` of the application. Applications or tools
+that previously referenced `package:flutter_gen` will instead reference source
+files generated into the application directly.
+
+## Background
+
+`flutter_gen` is a virtual (synthetic) package that is created by the `flutter`
+command-line tool to allow developers to import that package to access generated
+symbols and functionality, such as for
+[internationalization][Internationalizing Flutter apps]. As the package is not
+listed in an app's `pubspec.yaml`, and is created via re-writing the (generated)
+`package_config.json`, numerous problems have been created.
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+This change only effects users that have the following in their `pubspec.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+flutter:
+  generate: true
+```
+
+A synthetic package (`package:flutter_gen`) is created and referenced by the
+application;
+
+```dart
+import 'package:flutter_gen/gen_l10n/app_localizations.dart';
+// ...
+const MaterialApp(
+  title: 'Localizations Sample App',
+  localizationsDelegates: AppLocalizations.localizationsDelegates,
+  supportedLocales: AppLocalizations.supportedLocales,
+);
+```
+
+There are two ways to migrate away from importing `package:flutter_gen`:
+
+1. Specify `synthetic-package: false` in the accompanying [l10n.yaml][] file:
+
+    ```yaml
+    synthetic-package: false
+
+    # The files are generated into the path specified by `arb-dir`
+    arb-dir: lib/i18n
+
+    # Or, specifically provide an output path:
+    output-dir: lib/src/generated/i18n
+    ```
+
+2. Pass `--no-implicit-pubspec-resolution` to invocations of the `flutter` tool:
+
+    ```sh
+    flutter run --no-implicit-pubspec-resolution
+    ```
+
+## Timeline
+
+Not released
+
+Not released + 1, `package:flutter_gen` support will be removed.
