audio_in_app 4.1.1

A Flutter package for playing audio files. Ideal for games or applications with sound.

4.1.1

• Fix (crash on cold start): free the native SoLoud engine on AppLifecycleState.detached. The engine is a native (C++) singleton that outlives the Dart isolate within the same process (e.g. Android re-creating the Activity without killing the process). Previously the engine kept its FFI NativeCallable listeners pointing at the destroyed isolate, so a later native voiceEnded/stateChanged aborted the VM with SIGABRT "Callback invoked after it has been deleted" on the next cold start. The observer now calls SoLoud.deinit() on detached (which disposes the native callables). Only on detached, never on paused (that would silence audio when minimizing or showing an ad). No API changes.

4.1.0

• New (non-breaking): load audio from a local file on the device filesystem via createNewAudioCache(..., source: AudioInAppSource.file), passing an absolute path as route. Files are loaded with SoLoud.loadFile under the hood, while assets keep using SoLoud.loadAsset. Added the AudioInAppSource { asset, file } enum; source defaults to AudioInAppSource.asset.
• New (non-breaking): bool isPlaying(String playerId) returns whether the last started voice (determined or background) is still sounding, so you can detect when a one-shot sound has finished.
• Fully backwards compatible: the previous API is unchanged. Callers that omit source keep loading from assets exactly as before.

4.0.0

• BREAKING (engine): Replaced the internal audioplayers engine with flutter_soloud (SoLoud C++ engine via FFI). The public Dart API of AudioInApp is unchanged — no call sites need to be updated — but the platform setup requirements below make this a major release.
• BREAKING (SDK): Minimum Flutter raised to >=3.41.0 and Dart to >=3.11.0 (required by flutter_soloud).
• BREAKING (platform setup):
  • Web: add the two flutter_soloud scripts to your web/index.html (see README).
  • Linux: install the ALSA development library (libasound2-dev on Debian/Ubuntu).
  • iOS/macOS: when creating release archives, set the Runner target's Strip Style to Non-Global Symbols.
• Behavior change: one-shot (determined) effects now overlap when retriggered (each play creates a new voice), instead of restarting. Background audio keeps a single looping voice per id.
• Fixed: short effects no longer fail on Windows release (the original motivation for the migration).
• Removed the iOS priming workaround and the Android AudioContext/audio-focus workaround — no longer needed with SoLoud.

3.1.1

• Removed debug logging that was accidentally shipped in 3.1.0. No functional changes.

3.1.0

• Fixed: background music was silent on iOS. The release mode is now set before the iOS priming step; with the default release mode, the priming stop() released the player's source and the later resume() produced no sound.
• Fixed: on Android, one-shot effects stole the audio focus and paused the app's own background music. A global AudioContext with AndroidAudioFocus.none is now configured so effects and music coexist.

3.0.0

• BREAKING: Updated audioplayers from ^5.2.0 to ^6.5.1
• BREAKING: Minimum Dart SDK raised to >=3.6.0
• BREAKING: Minimum Flutter SDK raised to >=3.13.0
• BREAKING: Removed audioCacheMap getter (use cachedPlayerIds instead)
• BREAKING: Multiple background audios can now play simultaneously (previously, playing one stopped all others)
• Removed universal_io dependency (replaced with flutter/foundation.dart for web compatibility)
• Added web platform support
• Independent volume control per background audio
• Improved type safety (proper types instead of dynamic)
• Fixed async forEach anti-pattern (was not awaiting iterations)
• Removed deprecated _ambiguate helper
• Code quality improvements and full API documentation
