Flutter Handoff

This plugin makes it easy to use Apple's Handoff feature in your Flutter applications.

Currently, it supports opening links from your application on other iCloud connected devices (Macs, iPads, iPhones).

How to use?

After installing the plugin, you can just call the setHandoffUrl where appropriate (probably after navigation to some page):

import 'package:handoff/handoff.dart';

void someFunction() async {
    await Handoff.setHandoffUrl(
        "https://example.com/some/path",
        title: "Some Title",
    );
}

and the system will take care of the rest.

On you connected devices, you will see the link in the Dock

or App Switcher

To hide the handoff icon, you can call Handoff.clearHandoff().

Automatic Handoff with Route Navigation

For even easier use, you can use HandoffPageRoute which automatically sets the handoff URL when the route is entered and clears it when the route is exited:

import 'package:handoff/handoff.dart';

void navigateToPage() {
  Navigator.of(context).push(
    HandoffPageRoute<void>(
      handoffUrl: "https://example.com/some/path",
      handoffTitle: "Some Title", // Optional
      builder: (context) => MyPageWidget(),
    ),
  );
}

This eliminates the need to manually call setHandoffUrl() and clearHandoff() - the route handles it automatically!
