📦 Installation

Add the dependency to your project:

flutter pub add shizuku_api_plugin

📋 Requirements

• Flutter >=3.44.0 and Dart SDK ^3.12.0 are required.
• The Shizuku app must be installed and running on the target device.

⚙️ Configuration

🔧 app/build.gradle

Ensure that the minimum SDK version (minSdk) is set to 24 or higher.

📄 AndroidManifest.xml

Add the Shizuku provider definition inside the <application> tag:

<application>
    <provider android:name="rikka.shizuku.ShizukuProvider"
        android:authorities="${applicationId}.shizuku" android:multiprocess="false"
        android:enabled="true" android:exported="true"
        android:permission="android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL" />
</application>

🚀 Usage

Each snippet below is a complete async function. In a real app, call it from your widget or service.

1. 🔍 Verify Shizuku Service

Before executing any plugin commands, verify that the Shizuku service is running:

import 'package:shizuku_api_plugin/shizuku_api.dart';

Future<void> main() async {
  final shizukuApiPlugin = ShizukuApi();

  // Check if the Shizuku binder service is active
  final isBinderRunning = await shizukuApiPlugin.pingBinder() ?? false;
  print(isBinderRunning);
}

2. ✅ Check Permissions

Check if Shizuku permissions have been granted to your application:

import 'package:shizuku_api_plugin/shizuku_api.dart';

Future<void> main() async {
  final shizukuApiPlugin = ShizukuApi();

  // Returns true if permission is granted, false if denied or not requested yet
  final hasPermission = await shizukuApiPlugin.checkPermission();
  print(hasPermission);
}

3. 🔑 Request Permissions

Request permissions from the user via the Shizuku system dialog:

import 'package:shizuku_api_plugin/shizuku_api.dart';

Future<void> main() async {
  final shizukuApiPlugin = ShizukuApi();

  // Triggers the Shizuku permission dialog
  // Returns true if permission is granted, false if declined
  final permissionGranted = await shizukuApiPlugin.requestPermission();
  print(permissionGranted);
}

4. ⌨️ Run Commands

Execute ADB shell commands:

• Note: Execution within a root environment (su) is untested.
• Standard ADB shell commands are supported.

import 'package:shizuku_api_plugin/shizuku_api.dart';

Future<void> main() async {
  final shizukuApiPlugin = ShizukuApi();
  const command = 'pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.chrome';

  // Returns success if the command is executed and the system app is uninstalled
  final output = await shizukuApiPlugin.runCommand(command);
  print(output);
}

📖 API Reference

Methods exposed by ShizukuApi (all return a Future, so await is required):

Method	Returns	Description
pingBinder()	Future<bool?>	Whether the Shizuku binder service is active
checkPermission()	Future<bool?>	Whether Shizuku permission has been granted
requestPermission()	Future<bool?>	Shows the Shizuku permission dialog and returns the result
runCommand(String command)	Future<String?>	Executes a command as shell (ADB) and returns its output

Recommended order: pingBinder() → checkPermission() → requestPermission() (if not granted) → runCommand().

💡 Example

A runnable example project is available in the example/ directory, demonstrating the full flow: check service → check permission → request permission → run command.

❓ FAQ

• Command fails / no output: make sure the Shizuku app is started and running, and that your app has been granted permission.
• No permission dialog: verify that pingBinder() returns true first; the dialog cannot be shown when Shizuku is not running.
• Uncaught PlatformException: wrap the calls in try/catch and handle the failure gracefully.

For more questions, refer to the Shizuku documentation.
