import 'package:boot_time_plugin/boot_time_plugin.dart';

// Get boot time as DateTime (recommended)
final DateTime bootTime = await BootTimePlugin.getBootTime();

// Get boot time as milliseconds since epoch
final int bootTimeMs = await BootTimePlugin.getBootTimeMs();

    • On iOS: Date() - ProcessInfo.systemUptime
