Finally output on mobile is showing loading gif i.e CircularProgressIndicator(), means returns always true at "if (result.isLoading)"

Could anyone please help!!
note: the same appsync working perfectly in angular application.

Solution
See my recent update at the bottom.
I’m actually running into the same problem. I don’t have a complete answer but I feel like this is a clue to a partial answer.
As far as I know, AppSync doesn’t use wss://<your_end_point>. I have
tried this before, and my http connection was never "upgraded to a
wss" connection. I had to POST a request to the http endpoint
requesting a subscription connection, then AWS returned connection
details containing a new endpoint (a wss url), a topic and a client
id. Only then could I connect to the socket using using a third party
library (using the URL AWS returned). I had to dig into their official
sdk to find this out, and then through trial and error to get it to
work.
I’ve confirmed w/ the GraphiQL tool that I do get a response when I POST my subscription graphql blob. I get a websocket url back along w/ some other items in JSON. I haven’t figured out how to capture that response in Flutter yet but I’ll update this if I find that piece as well.
From there, I believe we’d need to dynamically create the websocket from that new url and send our subscription graphql blob to that.
Absolutely, this is convoluted but it’s the path I’m proceeding with for now.
UPDATE: AWS Amplify for Flutter now supports subscriptions! I am using a hybrid solution. I have flutter_graphql and artemis for mutations/queries. For subscriptions I am using amplify_api: '<1.0.0'. It was just released in the past weeks. It actually only took me a few minutes to get it working. Amplify automatically does the URL resolution and authentication for you.
You’ll need to generate an amplifyconfiguration.dart that is specific for your AWS endpoint and add it to your project. The AWS docs cover this and the person that setup your AWS endpoint should know exactly what you need.
Example from link:
try {
String graphQLDocument = '''subscription OnCreateTodo {
onCreateTodo {
id
name
description
}
}''';
var operation = Amplify.API.subscribe(
request: GraphQLRequest<String>(document: graphQLDocument),
onData: (event) {
print('Subscription event data received: ${event.data}');
},
onEstablished: () {
print('Subscription established');
},
onError: (e) {
print('Subscription failed with error: $e');
},
onDone: () {
print('Subscription has been closed successfully');
});
} on ApiException catch (e) {
print('Failed to establish subscription: $e');
}
Don’t forget to unsubscribe:
// Cancel the subscription when you're finished with it
operation.cancel();
