app_settings 8.0.3

A Flutter plugin for opening iOS and Android phone settings from an app.

8.0.3

• android/build.gradle now reads the actual android.builtInKotlin Gradle property (inherited from the consuming app's root project) instead of guessing from the AGP major version alone. kotlin-android is only skipped for consumers who have genuinely opted into AGP's built-in Kotlin support; it's still applied (avoiding the 8.0.1 bug) for the default android.builtInKotlin=false. Verified both branches against a real AGP 9.0.1 project: with the default false, the plugin builds correctly; with true, skipping kotlin-android avoids the 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' plugin is no longer required for Kotlin support since AGP 9.0 failure that other still-unmigrated plugins in the same build hit.

8.0.2

• fix: android/build.gradle now sets compileSdk = 36 / minSdk = 16 (property-assignment syntax) instead of the deprecated compileSdkVersion 36 / minSdkVersion 16 method-call syntax, since the latter is unavailable under AGP 9's "new DSL" mode. Property assignment has worked since AGP 7.0, so this is backward-compatible with AGP 7.x/8.x too. Adapted from a suggestion at qeepcologne/app_settings@agp9-new-dsl.

8.0.1

• fix: android/build.gradle no longer conditionally skips applying the kotlin-android plugin on AGP 9+. That guard broke every consuming app on AGP 9 with the (default) android.builtInKotlin=false, producing error: cannot find symbol / class AppSettingsPlugin in the generated plugin registrant at build time. Root cause: Flutter's own Gradle tooling (FlutterPluginUtils.detectApplyingKotlinGradlePlugin) decides whether to auto-apply kotlin-android for a plugin subproject by regex-matching the literal apply plugin: 'kotlin-android' text in that subproject's build.gradle — it does not evaluate Groovy conditionals. So even though our runtime guard (if (!isAgp9OrAbove) { ... }) skipped applying the plugin on AGP 9, Flutter's static text-based detection still saw the line and assumed KGP was already handled, so it didn't apply it either. Net effect: nothing ever compiled this module's Kotlin source on AGP 9. Verified against a real AGP 9.0.1 / Gradle 9.1.0 project. See #270 for the original guard.

8.0.0

• BREAKING: Drop CocoaPods support for iOS and macOS. Consuming apps must build with Swift Package Manager (supported by Flutter 3.24+); remove ios/app_settings.podspec and macos/app_settings.podspec.
• fix: macOS plugin now ships its real implementation (AppSettingsPlugin.swift, AppSettingsEnums.swift) through the Swift Package Manager Sources layout instead of the old Classes/ CocoaPods-only source set.
• fix: bundle PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy correctly for both iOS and macOS SPM targets (the iOS Package.swift previously pointed at a resource path Xcode rejected as "unhandled").
• Add an explicit FlutterFramework package dependency to both Package.swift files, per Flutter's current Swift Package Manager plugin-authoring guidance.
• Example app: remove Podfile/Podfile.lock/Pods/ for iOS and macOS; Xcode projects now resolve plugins via Swift Package Manager only.
• Remove dead, non-functional getPlatformVersion() leftover from the original plugin template (lib/app_settings_method_channel.dart, lib/src/app_settings.dart) — it was never implemented on any platform and always threw MissingPluginException.
• Rewrite unit tests (test/app_settings_test.dart, test/app_settings_method_channel_test.dart) to exercise real openAppSettings/openAppSettingsPanel behavior instead of stale, throwing mocks.
• Example app: only show the "openAppSettingsPanel() options" section on Android, since settings panels are an Android Q+ feature.
• Update Android Gradle Plugin (8.7.3 -> 8.11.1), Kotlin (2.1.0 -> 2.2.20), and the Gradle wrapper (8.12 -> 8.14) in the example app to clear Flutter's outdated-toolchain warnings; align the plugin's own android/build.gradle kotlin_version/gradle_version to match.
