I have
FieldValue.serverTimestamp()
I couldn't find a way to convert this timestamp to DateTime
object in Flutter. Is there any way to do it? Or any other API call using firebase?

The
FieldValue.serverTimestamp()
is not a timestamp, but a so-called sentinel - a marker that gets sent to the server, that the server then recognizes and interprets to write the current timestamp. That means there is no way to convertFieldValue.serverTimestamp()
to a timestamp on the client.What you can do is write
FieldValue.serverTimestamp()
to a document on the server, and observe the value that is written to that document. This value will be a valid timestamp.
