system_timezone

The Motive

I wanted to explore creating an FFI (Foreign Function Interface) plugin and also wanted to create a synchronous API to get the system timezone that supports all platforms.

Example

Get current timezone

final currentTimezone = SystemTimezone.getTimezoneName();

Get list of known timezones

final listOfTimezones = SystemTimezone.getKnownTimezoneNames();

OS Constraints

• Android: minSdkVersion 19
• iOS: 2.0+
• Linux: Systemd v239 and above
• Windows: Windows 10 Version 1903 and above
• macOS: 10.0+
• Web: Browser Compatibility for Intl.DateTimeFormat.resolvedOptions and Browser Compatibility for Intl.supportedValuesOf

Credits

• The source code of flutter_timezone and iana-time-zone packages was instrumental in the development of this package.
• UTM was invaluable for testing this package on Windows and Linux environments.
