appwin_notifications

appwin_notifications sends push and in-app messages to your Flutter app: device token registration, the lifecycle events that trigger automations, and the in-app campaigns waiting for a user.

Appwin is an engagement platform for mobile app studios. It puts an in-app support messenger, a community feed and push notifications inside your app, all rendered natively, and gives your team one dashboard to run them.

Features

✅ Push token registration, with an explicit opt-in flag
✅ Campaigns and automations driven from the dashboard, no app release
✅ In-app messages delivered to the device, rendered by your widgets
✅ Delivery reporting - opened, clicked, dismissed - so campaigns have real numbers
✅ One call at launch: syncOnAppOpen() reports the open and returns what is pending
✅ Comes with appwin_core, so a single configure covers every product

Unlike Support and Community, this product draws nothing. It hands you the message; the design is yours.

Installation

flutter pub add appwin_notifications

That is the only package to install. appwin_core comes with it as a dependency and is re-exported, so AppwinCore is available under the same import - do not add it yourself, or you take on a second version constraint to keep aligned with this one.

Requirements

Platform	Minimum
iOS	16.0
Android	7.0 (API 24)

Nothing to add to your Podfile or to your Gradle repositories: the plugin declares the native SDKs it needs, from CocoaPods and Maven Central.

Getting started

1. Configure the foundation at launch. This step is required, and it is the only one that is: every Appwin product reads the identity and the session it sets up.

import 'package:appwin_notifications/appwin_notifications.dart';

void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  await AppwinCore.instance.configure(appId: 'your-app-id');
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

2. Initialise Notifications before asking for permission. A system prompt for a product the studio cannot use spends the single "allow" a user grants, and neither iOS nor Android asks twice.

final notifications = await AppwinNotifications.instance.initialize();
debugPrint('Appwin Notifications: $notifications');   // ready / unavailable(plan) / ...

if (notifications.isReady) {
  // Ask the system for permission, then register the token below.
}

3. Register the device token, and again on every rotation:

await AppwinNotifications.instance.registerPushToken(token: fcmOrApnsToken);

Pass pushOptIn: false rather than skipping the call when the user declines: that distinguishes "declined" from "never asked", which are two different audiences on the studio's side.

4. Sync at launch to report the open and collect what is pending, in one round trip:

final messages = await AppwinNotifications.instance.syncOnAppOpen();

for (final message in messages) {
  // Render it with your own widgets, then report what the user did:
  await AppwinNotifications.instance.track(
    deliveryId: message.deliveryId,
    event: AppwinTrackEvent.opened,
  );
}

Reporting matters: without it the campaign has no read rate, and an automation that waits on "opened" never fires.
