CHANGELOG #

1.2.0 - 2023-07-30 #

[Android] Android 14 (SDK 34) support..
[Android] Android 14 support: When using forceAlarmManager: true, you must now optionally add the permission android.permission.SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM to your AndroidManifest to schedule exact alarms. Otherwise AlarmManager will use in-exact alarms. 📂 AndroidManifest. NOTE You must include the permission exactly as-shown with android:minSdkVersion="34".

<manifest>
    <!-- [background-fetch] OPTIONAL:  allows forceAlarmManager: true to use exact alarms -->
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM" android:maxSdkVersion="33" />
    .
    .
    .
</manifest>

* [Android] Fix an issue booting the app with `flutter run` with screen off where plugin incorrectly detects the app is headless.

## 1.1.6 - 2023-05-03
* [Android] Gradle v8 now requires `namespace` attribute in gradle files.

* [Changed][Android] Add new logic block to isMainActivityActive:  compare launchActivityName with task.baseActivity.getClassName()

## 1.0.0-nullsafety.2 - 2021-04-01
* [Fixed][Android] Flutter 2 broke Android Headless Task with Null-pointer exception.

## 1.0.0-nullsafety.1 - 2021-02-18
* [Fixed][Android] Fix `java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String com.transistorsoft.tsbackgroundfetch.BGTask.getTaskId()' on a null object reference`

## 1.0.0-nullsafety.0 - 2021-02-15

    - `bool requiresNetworkConnectivity`
    - `bool requiresCharging` (previously Android-only).
    
* [Changed][iOS] Migrate `TSBackgroundFetch.framework` to new `.xcframework` for *MacCatalyst* support with new Apple silcon.

### :warning: Breaking Change:  Requires `cocoapods >= 1.10+`.

*iOS'* new `.xcframework` requires *cocoapods >= 1.10+*:

```bash
$ pod --version
// if < 1.10.0
$ sudo gem install cocoapods

[Added] task-timeout callback. BackgroundFetch.configure now accepts a 3rd argument onTimeout callback. This callback will be executed when the operating system has signalled your task has expired before your task has called BackgroundFetch.finish(taskId). You must stop whatever you're task is doing and execute BackgroundFetch.finish(taskId) immediately.

BackgroundFetch.configure(BackgroundFetchConfig(
  minimumFetchInterval: 15
), (String taskId) {  // <-- task callback.
  print("[BackgroundFetch] taskId: $taskId");
  BackgroundFetch.finish(taskId);
}, (String taskId) {  // <-- NEW:  task-timeout callback.
  // This task has exceeded its allowed running-time.  You must stop what you're doing immediately finish(taskId)
  print("[BackgroundFetch] TIMEOUT taskId: $taskId");
  BackgroundFetch.finish(taskId);
});

⚠️ [Android] Breaking Change For Android Headless-task #

Since the registered Android headless-task (BackgroundFetch.registerHeadlessTask) can only receive a single parameter, your headless-task will now receive a HeadlessTask task instance rather than String taskId in order to differentiate task-timeout events.

OLD

void myBackgroundFetchHeadlessTask(String taskId) async { // <-- OLD:  String taskId
  print("[BackgroundFetch] Headless task: $taskId");
  BackgroundFetch.finish(taskId);
}
BackgroundFetch.registerHeadlessTask(myBackgroundFetchHeadlessTask);

NEW

void myBackgroundFetchHeadlessTask(HeadlessTask task) async { // <-- NEW:  HeadlessTask now provided.
  String taskId = task.taskId;    // <-- NEW:  Get taskId from HeadlessTask
  bool isTimeout = task.timeout;  // <-- NEW:  true if this task has timed-out.
  if (isTimeout) {
    // This task has exceeded its allowed running-time.  You must stop what you're doing immediately finish(taskId)
    print("[BackgroundFetch] Headless TIMEOUT: $taskId");
    BackgroundFetch.finish(taskId);
    return;
  }
  print("[BackgroundFetch] Headless task: $taskId");
  BackgroundFetch.finish(taskId);
}
BackgroundFetch.registerHeadlessTask(myBackgroundFetchHeadlessTask);

0.6.0 - 2020-06-11 #

[Fixed][Android] com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.0 no longer allows "direct local aar dependencies". The Android Setup now requires a custom maven url to be added to your app's root android/build.gradle:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
+       maven {
+           // [required] background_fetch
+           url "${project(':background_fetch').projectDir}/libs"
+       }
    }
}

0.5.6 #

[Fixed][Android] using forceAlarmManager: true fails to restart fetch events after reboot.
[Fixed] Android check wakeLock.isHeld() before executing wakeLock.release().

0.5.5 - 2020-03-24 #

[Fixed] [iOS] bug with start plugin after executing stop.

0.5.4 - 2020-02-22 #

[Fixed] [Android] Add @Keep annotation to HeadlessTask.java to prevent minifying this classs in release builds since the SDK uses reflection to find this class.

0.5.3 - 2020-02-21 #

[Fixed] [Android] stopOnTerminate not cancelling scheduled job / Alarm when fired task fired after terminate.

0.5.2 - 2020-02-20 #

[Android] Fix Android NPE in hasTaskId for case where plugin is installed first time in had previous version of plugin

0.5.1 - 2020-02-19 #

Minor Breaking Change for iOS Setup #

[iOS] It's no longer necessary to registerBGProcessingTask in AppDelegate.m for tasks registered for use with #scheduleTask. The SDK now reads the App .plist and automatically registers those tasks found in "Permitted background task scheduler identifiers". Remove all code in your AppDelegate.m that references TSBackgroundFetch.

0.5.0 - 2020-02-03 #

[Added] [Android] New option forceAlarmManager for bypassing JobScheduler mechanism in favour of AlarmManager for more precise scheduling task execution.
[Changed] Migrate iOS deprecated "background-fetch" API to new BGTaskScheduler. See new required steps in iOS Setup.
[Added] Added new BackgroundFetch.scheduleTask method for scheduling custom "onehot" and periodic tasks in addition to the default fetch-task.

BackgroundFetch.configure(BackgroundFetchConfig(
  minimumFetchInterval: 15,
  stopOnTerminate: false
), (String taskId) {  // <-- [NEW] taskId provided to Callback
  print("[BackgroundFetch] taskId: $taskId");
  switch(taskId) {
    case 'foo':
      // Handle scheduleTask 'foo'
      break;
    default:
      // Handle default fetch event.
      break;
  }
  BackgroundFetch.finish(taskId);  // <-- [NEW] Provided taskId to #finish method.
});

// This event will end up in Callback provided to #configure above.
BackgroundFetch.scheduleTask(TaskConfig(
  taskId: 'foo',  //<-- required
  delay: 60000,
  periodic: false  
));

Breaking Changes #

With the introduction of ability to execute custom tasks via #scheduleTask, all tasks are executed in the Callback provided to #configure. As a result, this Callback is now provided an argument String taskId. This taskId must now be provided to the #finish method, so that the SDK knows which task is being #finished.

BackgroundFetch.configure(BackgroundFetchConfig(
  minimumFetchInterval: 15,
  stopOnTerminate: false
), (String taskId) {  // <-- [NEW] taskId provided to Callback
  print("[BackgroundFetch] taskId: $taskId");
  BackgroundFetch.finish(taskId);  // <-- [NEW] Provided taskId to #finish method.
});

And with the Headless Task, as well:

/// This "Headless Task" is run when app is terminated.
void backgroundFetchHeadlessTask(String taskId) async {  // <-- 1.  Headless task receives String taskId
  print("[BackgroundFetch] Headless event received: $taskId");
  
  BackgroundFetch.finish(taskId);  // <-- 2.  #finish with taskId here as well.
}

void main() {
  // Enable integration testing with the Flutter Driver extension.
  // See https://flutter.io/testing/ for more info.
  runApp(new MyApp());

  // Register to receive BackgroundFetch events after app is terminated.
  // Requires {stopOnTerminate: false, enableHeadless: true}
  BackgroundFetch.registerHeadlessTask(backgroundFetchHeadlessTask);
}

0.4.0 - 2019-12-17 #

[Changed] Upgrade to new Flutter Plugin API "V2". Requires flutter sdk version 1.12. See Upgrading pre 1.12 Android Projects

0.3.2 - 2019-10-06 #

[Fixed] Resolve Android StrictMode violations; typically from accessing SharedPreferences on main-thread.

0.3.1 - 2019-09-20 #

Fix error FlutterMain.findBundleAppPath(). The plugin modified a deprecated API for flutter 1.9.1, breaking those on previous flutter versions. Will use deprecated API for now.

0.3.0 - 2019-09-18 #

Implement Android JobInfo constraints.
Fix NSLog warnings casting to long
Default startOnBoot: true in example

0.2.0 - 2019-03-15 #

Use AndroidX.

0.1.2 - 2019-02-28 #

Fixed bug with setting jobServiceClass using a reference to HeadlessJobService.class. This crashes devices < api 21, since Android's JobService wasn't available until then. Simply provide the class name as a String.

0.1.1 - 2018-11-21 #

Fixed issue with Android headless config.
