0.1.13 - 2025-08-12

Fixed

• Android Service Not Starting: Corrected the AndroidManifest.xml by removing the redundant <application> tag. This was preventing the service from being correctly merged into the main app manifest, causing the Android system to silently ignore service start requests.
• Silent Failure: This fix should resolve the root cause of the silent service failures.

0.1.12 - 2025-08-12

Fixed

• Compilation Error: Fixed remaining reference to 'goalSteps' in intent creation
• Build Failure: This resolves the Kotlin compilation error that was preventing builds

Technical

• Intent Parameters: Updated intent creation to use 'deltaSteps' consistently
• Build Compatibility: AWTY should now compile and build successfully

0.1.11 - 2025-08-12

Fixed

• Parameter Name Mismatch: Fixed critical bug where Dart API was sending 'deltaSteps' but native plugin was expecting 'goalSteps'
• Step Count Loss: This resolves the issue where step counts were being lost (showing 0 instead of actual steps)
• UI Error Display: The "ERROR: No step data available" message should now be resolved

Technical

• Parameter Consistency: Updated Kotlin code to use 'deltaSteps' parameter name consistently
• Data Flow: Step counts should now flow correctly from Agatha to AWTY service
• Backward Compatibility: No breaking changes to the public interface

0.1.10 - 2025-08-12

Fixed

• Method Name Mismatch: Fixed critical bug where Dart API was calling 'startStepTracking'/'stopStepTracking' but native plugin only handled 'startTracking'/'stopTracking'
• MissingPluginException: This resolves the core issue preventing AWTY from working in host applications
• Plugin Recognition: AWTY should now be properly recognized and functional

Technical

• Channel Method Names: Updated Dart API to call correct method names on MethodChannel
• API Consistency: External API remains unchanged, only internal channel communication fixed
• Backward Compatibility: No breaking changes to the public interface

0.1.9 - 2025-08-11

Fixed

• Compilation Error: Fixed unresolved reference to notifyMilestoneReached in service
• Service Communication: Replaced static method calls with broadcast intents
• Plugin Callbacks: Added broadcast receiver to handle goal reached events

Technical

• AwtyStepService: Now sends broadcast intent instead of calling static method
• AwtyPlugin: Added broadcast receiver to listen for goal reached events
• Communication Pattern: Service → Broadcast Intent → Plugin → Flutter callback
• Clean Architecture: Removed unused notifyMilestoneReached method

0.1.8 - 2025-08-11

Fixed

• Plugin Recognition: Complete refactor from static companion object to instance-based method handling
• Flutter Plugin Discovery: AWTY should now be properly recognized by Flutter's plugin system
• MissingPluginException: This should resolve the core plugin registration issue

Technical

• AwtyPlatformChannel: Now implements MethodCallHandler and is instantiable
• AwtyPlugin: Simplified to create instance of AwtyPlatformChannel and set as handler
• Instance-based Architecture: Follows Flutter's expected plugin pattern for proper registration
• Context Management: Each plugin instance has its own context and method handling

Breaking Changes

• Plugin Architecture: Complete rewrite of method handling from static to instance-based
• Service Callbacks: notifyMilestoneReached() now requires proper instance management

0.1.7 - 2025-08-11

Fixed

• Plugin Recognition: Restored missing plugin_platform_interface dependency
• Flutter Plugin Discovery: This dependency is critical for Flutter to recognize AWTY as a plugin
• Plugin Registration: Should now properly register in generated dart_plugin_registrant.dart

Technical

• Added back plugin_platform_interface: ^2.0.2 to dependencies
• This was accidentally removed in 0.1.6, causing Flutter to not recognize AWTY as a plugin

0.1.6 - 2025-08-11

Fixed

• Null Safety: Fixed null handling in getServiceStatus method
• Type Inference: Resolved Pair<String, String?> type mismatch in mapOf calls
• Kotlin Compilation: Fixed remaining compilation errors preventing builds

Technical

• Added null coalescing for reachedTime field: (reachedTime ?: "")
• Ensured all mapOf entries have consistent non-null types
• Maintained explicit type parameters for Map<String, Any> returns

0.1.5 - 2025-08-11

Fixed

• Kotlin Compilation: Fixed type mismatch errors in AwtyPlatformChannel
• Build Errors: Resolved compilation failures that prevented package building
• Type Safety: Fixed Map<String, Any> return type issues in service methods

Technical

• Fixed explicit type parameters in mapOf<String, Any> calls
• Removed unnecessary setPlatformChannel call that caused compilation errors
• Ensured all companion object methods have correct return types

0.1.4 - 2025-08-11

Fixed

• Plugin Architecture: Completely rewrote AWTY to follow Flutter's official plugin template
• Method Call Handling: Plugin now directly implements MethodCallHandler instead of delegation
• Plugin Registration: Fixed critical issue preventing Flutter from discovering and registering the plugin
• MissingPluginException: Resolved persistent plugin registration failures in calling applications

Technical

• Rewrote AwtyPlugin.kt to implement both FlutterPlugin and MethodCallHandler directly
• Simplified AwtyPlatformChannel.kt to be a utility class rather than a method handler
• Removed complex delegation pattern that was breaking Flutter's plugin discovery
• Plugin now follows the exact structure of Flutter's official plugin template

Breaking Changes

• Plugin API: Internal plugin architecture changed significantly
• Method Handling: All method calls now go directly through the plugin class
• Platform Channel: Simplified to static utility methods

0.1.3 - 2025-08-11

Fixed

• Plugin Architecture: Fixed AWTY to conform to Flutter's official plugin requirements
• Plugin Discovery: Added plugin_platform_interface dependency for proper plugin recognition
• Method Call Handling: Updated AwtyPlugin to implement MethodCallHandler directly
• Plugin Registration: Fixed plugin registration pattern to match Flutter's official template

Technical

• Added plugin_platform_interface: ^2.0.2 dependency
• Updated AwtyPlugin to implement both FlutterPlugin and MethodCallHandler
• Changed method call handling to delegate through the plugin class
• Plugin now follows Flutter's official plugin architecture pattern

0.1.2 - 2025-08-11

Fixed

• Package Structure: Fixed critical plugin registration issues that prevented Flutter from finding the native AWTY implementation
• Plugin Configuration: Added proper plugin: section in pubspec.yaml for correct Flutter plugin recognition
• Build Process: Resolved issues where native Android code wasn't being included in dependent app builds
• MissingPluginException: Fixed the root cause of MissingPluginException errors in calling applications

Technical

• Restored proper Flutter plugin structure with platforms: configuration
• Verified native Android implementation is correctly included in builds
• Confirmed package works with simple test applications
• Cleaned up contaminated package structure and removed duplicate code
