Hello, is there a way to declare a stateFlow without an initial value ?

Nope. The contract of StateFlow is that it always must have a value.

That initial value can be null though if your state type is otherwise non-nullable.

You also can apply filterNonNull() operator, so consumer will receive only non null values and only when it initialized
