If you're using firebase_storage >= 5.0.0-dev.1 the class StorageReference has been renamed to Reference.

You can check that and more breaking changes in CHANGELOG file.

On your code just replace the type.

Reference firebaseStorageRef = FirebaseStorage.instance.ref().child("BlogImages").child( "${randomAlphaNumeric(9)}.jpg");
