A Flutter plugin for building AR applications using ARCore on Android and RealityKit on iOS. Enables pure Dart AR development without native code.
Changelog #
All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
1.4.0 - 2026-06-03 #
Minor release: the lighting and occlusion method channels are now fully implemented on iOS and Android. Calls that previously slipped past the support checks and then threw
MissingPluginExceptionnow return real, platform-truthful data.
Added #
- Lighting native handlers (iOS + Android).
getLightingCapabilities(),setLightingConfig(),addLight(),removeLight(), andupdateLight()are now handled natively. iOS creates real RealityKitDirectionalLight/PointLight/SpotLightentities; both platforms report a truthful lighting capability map (maxLights,shadowQuality, light-estimation flags). - Occlusion native handlers (iOS + Android).
getOcclusionCapabilities(),setOcclusionConfig(),setOcclusionEnabled(), andisOcclusionEnabled()are now handled natively. iOS toggles people-occlusion frame semantics (personSegmentation, pluspersonSegmentationWithDepthon LiDAR devices); Android toggles the ARCore Depth API (Config.DepthMode.AUTOMATIC) on supported devices. Capabilities are reported from real device queries rather than hard-coded values.
Fixed #
MissingPluginExceptionongetLightingCapabilitiesandsetOcclusionConfig(and the rest of the lighting/occlusion surface). These methods previously had no native handler, so once a device reportedisLightingSupported == true/isOcclusionSupported == true, the follow-up capability and config calls crashed the demo. They now answer truthfully and degrade gracefully (return empty / no-op) on older OS versions or when no session is running.
Changed (non-breaking) #
- All new handlers degrade gracefully instead of throwing: iOS guards behind
#availableand a runningARWorldTrackingConfiguration; Android guards behind ARCore depth-support checks and an initialized session.
Note: On Android the renderer does not yet draw added lights or placed nodes (ARCore here renders the camera background and plane detection only). These handlers stop the crashes and report honest capabilities; full scene-graph rendering on Android remains future work.
1.3.0 - 2026-05-31 #
Minor release: environmental-probe capabilities are now implemented on iOS, the web pipeline is WebAssembly-ready, and the example app is verified stable across iOS, Android, and Web.
Added #
getEnvironmentalProbesCapabilities()implemented on iOS. The native handler reports real ARKit/RealityKit environment-texturing capabilities (supported resolutions, max active probes, automatic/manual placement) instead of returningMissingPluginException.- WebAssembly readiness. The web camera service no longer performs a
JS-interop runtime type check that was incompatible with
dart2wasm; the web build now passes the wasm dry-run cleanly.
Fixed #
getEnvironmentalProbesCapabilities()and the environmental-probe configuration path degrade gracefully (return empty / no-op) when a native handler is absent, instead of surfacingMissingPluginExceptionin the UI.- Example app: replaced the stale generated widget test (which always failed) with a real smoke test, and wrapped optional environmental-probe setup so a missing native handler no longer prints an error to the status overlay.
Changed (non-breaking) #
- Example app verified to build and run on iOS, Android, and Web; the whole
package passes
flutter analyzewith no issues and all 611 tests green.
1.2.1 - 2026-05-27 #
Bug-fix release focused on iOS demo crashes reported by early adopters. The plugin now degrades gracefully when a capability is missing on the running platform or when the controller has been disposed.
Fixed #
MissingPluginExceptionon iOS —isEnvironmentalProbesSupported,isCloudAnchorsSupported,isOcclusionSupported, and the other support checks no longer crash when the native side has no handler. They now returnfalseand log a debug-only warning.Bad state: Controller is disposed—setImageTrackingEnabledandsetFaceTrackingEnabledno longer throw when fired during tab switches or widget rebuilds. They returnfalseand push a user-friendly message toerrorStreaminstead.- iOS native handlers — added explicit support-check handlers in
AugenARView.swiftusing real ARKit capability APIs (ARImageTrackingConfiguration.isSupported,ARFaceTrackingConfiguration.isSupported,supportsFrameSemantics(.personSegmentation), etc.) instead of hard-codedtrue. Cloud anchors and multi-user honestly reportfalsebecause no backend ships with Augen. - Android native handlers — mirrored the new support-check method names so the channel contract matches across platforms.
- iOS Podspec — bumped from
0.1.0to1.2.1, fixed placeholder author / homepage metadata, and aligned the iOS deployment target. - Example Podfile — uncommented
platform :ios, '13.0'so the demo app builds against the documented minimum iOS version.
Added #
AugenController.isDisposed— public getter so callers can guard before invoking mutation methods (which still throwStateErrorafter dispose by design).
Changed (non-breaking) #
setImageTrackingEnabledandsetFaceTrackingEnablednow returnFuture<bool>instead ofFuture<void>. Existingawaitcall sites continue to compile without changes; new code can use the return value to drive UI state.
Tests #
- +13 new tests covering
MissingPluginException,PlatformException, andUnsupportedErrorpaths for all 7 support checks and both toggle methods, plusisDisposedgetter behavior and dispose idempotency.
1.2.0 - 2026-05-21 #
Augen now runs on three platforms — Android (ARCore), iOS (RealityKit/ARKit), and Web (WebAssembly + getUserMedia). Marker-based AR works in the browser with an image-template detector that matches a PNG/JPG marker against the live camera feed.
Added — Web platform #
- Web marker-based AR with
package:web+dart:js_interop(nodart:html,dart:js,dart:js_util, orpackage:js) ARMarkerTarget,ARTrackedMarker,ARMarkerDetectionOptions,Vector2modelsimagePathfield onARMarkerTargetfor PNG/JPG markersARSessionConfig.markerTrackingandARSessionConfig.markerDetectionOptions- Marker tracking API on

web/augen_web_ar.js— multi-scale normalized cross-correlation (NCC) template matching against PNG/JPG markers, with pose estimation from apparent marker size and configured physical width - Conditional imports for web/mobile separation (
dart.library.io/dart.library.js_interop) - Standalone web demo project
example/web_marker_ar/runnable withflutter run -d chrome --wasm - New "Web Marker AR" tab in the main example app
Added — Tests #
- +103 new tests (487 → 590 total)
- Marker model coverage:
ARMarkerTarget,ARTrackedMarker,ARMarkerDetectionOptions,Vector2, updatedARSessionConfig - Platform-backend abstraction tests
- Marker stream fast-path / slow-path tests
- Asset cache tests
- Plane normalization tests (
onPlanesUpdatedshape) - E2E integration tests for the web example app via
flutter drive+ Chrome (example/web_marker_ar/integration_test/)
Changed — Architecture #
AugenControllernow routes throughAugenPlatformBackendinstead of usingMethodChanneldirectlyAugenViewuses conditional imports for platform-specific implementations- 103 controller call sites converted from generic
invokeMethodto typed backend methods (failing fast on unsupported platforms instead ofMissingPluginException) - Animation method stubs on Android/iOS now return
FlutterMethodNotImplementedinstead of silently succeeding - Asset loading cached via static LRU (50 MB budget) — repeated
addNode(modelPath:)no longer re-reads the bundle
Performance #
- Web render loop:
Timer.periodic→requestAnimationFrame(vsync-aligned) - Web frame allocations: pooled
List<double>/List<Vector2>in_convertResult, singleDateTime.now()per batch instead of per marker - Web transform interop: pre-allocated
Float64Listreused perupdateMarkerTransform;JSArray<JSNumber>→JSFloat64Arraytyped array - Web fast path:
List<ARTrackedMarker>passes directly from web backend to controller, skipping thetoMap/fromMapround-trip - Android plane events: throttled from 60 Hz → 10 Hz with dirty-flag suppression of unchanged states
- Skip empty anchors: marker transforms with no attached nodes don't traverse the renderer
Fixed — Mobile critical bugs #
- iOS memory leak: added
deinitreleasingARSession, anchors, planes, channel handler, and Combine subscriptions - Android
hitTestGL race:session.update()+frame.hitTest()now run on the GL thread viaglSurfaceView.queueEvent, results returned on the UI thread (fixes sporadicSessionPausedExceptionand frame-state corruption) - Android plane event name mismatch: native side emitted
onPlanesDetected, Dart listened foronPlanesUpdated(silently dropped events) — both platforms now agree ononPlanesUpdated - Android plane payload mismatch with iOS: payload normalized to
{center: {x,y,z}, extent: {x,y,z}, type: "horizontal"|"vertical"} - iOS channel calls from delegate thread:
notifyPlanesUpdatedanddidFailWithErrornow dispatch to main viaDispatchQueue.main.async - Android
arSessiondata race: marked@Volatile - Android
disposeordering: anchors detached, planes/nodes cleared, session paused before close — prevents resource leaks on hot-restart - iOS
disposeclears scene anchors and nils the session delegate
Fixed — Web stability #
ARSessionConfig.markerTrackingnow auto-enables marker tracking on web duringinitialize()(previously had to callsetMarkerTrackingEnabled(true)manually)- Stream subscription is set up before the detection loop starts (prevents dropped events on broadcast streams)
_processFrameguards against adding to a closed stream controller- Detector frame errors surfaced via
errorStreaminstead of being silently swallowed - Pattern/binary asset path injection prevented (
assets/prefix, no.., no absolute URLs) isSecureContextcheck beforegetUserMediawith clear HTTPS error- Typed exceptions for camera errors:
web_camera_permission_denied,web_camera_unavailable,web_camera_overconstrained,web_camera_permission_pending,web_camera_play_timeout,web_camera_fallback - Camera-constraint fallback: if
facingMode: 'environment'fails, retry with{video: true}(fixes desktops with only a front camera) - Bounded timeouts on
getUserMedia(10s) andvideo.play()(5s) — never hangs indefinitely - Video element appended to container before
getUserMedia(Safari requires attached element forplay()to resolve) pause()/resume()on web also pause/resume the video element_disposedflag on web backend prevents operations after disposalmaxDetectionFpsclamped to minimum 1 with assertionloadBridgeScriptrace condition prevented with staticCompleter- Bridge auto-detection: skips loading if
window.AugenWebARis already defined (e.g. via<script>inindex.html) videoWidth === 0andreadyState < 2guard in_processFrame- Tab visibility listener pauses/resumes detection loop when tab is backgrounded
dispose()idempotent on controller (safe to call twice)AugenWebPlugin.viewRegistrycleared on backend disposal (no leak)addLight/addEnvironmentalProbereturn types aligned with backend interface
Limitations / Known Gaps #
- Web marker pose estimation is a simplified template-matching implementation, not full ARToolKit Wasm — translation is derived from apparent marker size; rotation is identity. Production-quality pose requires bundling ARToolKit Wasm or OpenCV.js POSIT.
- Web 3D rendering via Three.js is not yet integrated — the renderer maintains scene state and marker transforms but does not draw geometry. Camera overlay and marker tracking work; visible 3D content requires Three.js wiring.
- Roughly 88% of Dart-side AR methods (cloud anchors, face tracking, occlusion, physics, multi-user, lighting, environmental probes, advanced animation, image tracking) are not yet implemented natively on Android/iOS — they correctly return
FlutterMethodNotImplementedrather than silently succeeding. Planes, anchors, hit-test, basic nodes, and marker tracking (web) work end-to-end.
1.1.1 - 2026-05-18 #
Fixed #
- iOS build error:
MeshResource.generateCylinder(height:radius:)is only available in iOS 18.0+. Gated the call behind an#available(iOS 18.0, *)check with a box fallback for older deployment targets.
