run on iOS error ：Duplicate plugin key:VideoThumbnailPlugin

Hello developer, please let me express my gratitude first. I admire your work and thank you for your dedication. The get_thumbnail_video library that your library depends on conflicts with the thumbnail_video library I introduced. How can I solve it? Should I use the same library as yours? The cost of changing is not high for me, but it is necessary to tell you.
This problem occurs on iOS, and everything is normal on Android. My flutter is 3.29.3
video_trimmer: ^5.0.0
video_thumbnail: ^0.5.6

Issue: Duplicate Symbols Error with video_trimmer + video_thumbnail

I’m facing a build issue on iOS when using the video_trimmer and video_thumbnail packages together.

❌ Error Output:
Could not build the precompiled application for the device.
Error (Xcode): 2 duplicate symbols
Error (Xcode): Linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

This seems to be caused by symbol conflicts in native iOS code between the two packages.

If there’s a known workaround or a way to avoid the native symbol clash between these two packages, please let me know.

I'm facing the same exact issue right now.

flutter: The Dart VM service is listening on http://0.0.0.0:57568/gym0VMKHcxU=/ *** Assertion failure in -[FlutterEngine registrarForPlugin:], FlutterEngine.mm:1312 *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Duplicate plugin key: VideoThumbnailPlugin'

Anyone has a solution for this. I use video_trimmer and would like to keep it for now. But cant update new app version because of duplicate key for the video_thumbnail on iOS. On Android it's okay.

I think I was able to solve this by uninstalling "video_thumbnail" package, it has the same "key" as video_trimmer. I think I had installed it when going through instructions on installation of video_trimmer, but it turned out to be unnecessary (and causing this issue).
