awty_engine 2.0.1

A reliable, decoupled step tracking engine for Flutter applications. Provides pure step counting and goal notification services.

Changelog

2.0.1 - 2025-10-14

Fixed

• Android Step Tracking: Fixed getStepsRemaining() to return actual remaining steps instead of raw step count
• Notification Performance: Simplified notifications to use static message, eliminating step count update overhead
• Code Cleanup: Removed unused code (_currentStepCount and _startBackupPolling)

2.0.0 - 2025-10-01

Major Changes

• Complete Pedometer Rewrite: Replaced HealthKit real-time tracking with pedometer package for iOS
• Cross-Platform Consistency: Both Android and iOS now use identical pedometer-based step tracking
• Improved Reliability: Eliminated HealthKit synchronization issues and delays
• Real-Time Performance: Much faster and more responsive step tracking

Fixed

• iOS Step Tracking: Fixed critical bug where currentSteps wasn't being updated in getStepsRemaining
• Step Count Synchronization: iOS now returns accurate remaining steps instead of always returning goal amount
• Notification Spam: Fixed excessive notification updates - now only updates when steps actually change
• Baseline Management: Improved baseline step establishment and management

Changed

• iOS Architecture: Complete rewrite of iOS implementation to match Android pedometer pattern
• Step Update Flow: Flutter pedometer package now provides step updates to both platforms
• HealthKit Usage: HealthKit now only used for 30-day average handicap calculation, not real-time tracking
• Logging: Reduced verbose logging to essential information only

Technical Details

• iOS: updateStepCount now properly updates currentSteps variable
• Cross-Platform: Both platforms use Pedometer.stepCountStream for real-time updates
• Baseline Logic: Consistent baseline establishment across platforms
• Goal Completion: Improved goal reached detection and notification handling

0.3.0 - 2025-09-03

Fixed

• iOS Step Tracking: Fixed iOS AWTY engine to properly process step count updates from Flutter
• Step Count Updates: iOS now correctly handles updateStepCount calls instead of ignoring them
• Steps Remaining Display: Fixed steps remaining calculation to work consistently across platforms
• Goal Detection: Improved iOS goal reached detection and notification handling

Changed

• iOS Implementation: Updated iOS AWTY engine to use step count updates from Flutter app
• Cross-Platform Consistency: Both Android and iOS now use the same step tracking logic
• API Compatibility: Ensured updateStepCount works on both platforms

Technical Details

• iOS: Fixed handleUpdateStepCount to process step count updates and calculate stepsTaken
• Progress Tracking: iOS now properly updates internal step counters for accurate progress reporting
• State Management: Improved iOS state management for consistent behavior with Android
