Usage
You can use the PackageInfo to query information about the application package. This works both on iOS and Android.
import 'package:package_info_plus/package_info_plus.dart';
...
// Be sure to add this line if `PackageInfo.fromPlatform()` is called before runApp()
WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
...
PackageInfo packageInfo = await PackageInfo.fromPlatform();
String appName = packageInfo.appName;
String packageName = packageInfo.packageName;
String version = packageInfo.version;
String buildNumber = packageInfo.buildNumber;
Known Issues
iOS
As noted on issue 20761, package_info on iOS
requires the Xcode build folder to be rebuilt after changes to the version string in pubspec.yaml.
Clean the Xcode build folder with:
XCode Menu -> Product -> (Holding Option Key) Clean build folder.
Check out our documentation website to learn more. Plus plugins documentation
Android (and potentially all platforms)
Calling to PackageInfo.fromPlatform() before the runApp() call will cause an exception.
