daily_flutter 0.40.0

Flutter plugin for Daily. The Daily Client SDK allows you to build video and audio calling into your Flutter applications.

Changelog

All notable changes to the daily-flutter SDK will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

0.40.0 - 2026-09-22

Added

• Added support to automatically start transcription when joining a room if the auto_start_transcription meeting token property is set, using the room's auto_transcription_settings.

• Added StreamingLayout.audioOnly, the audio-only recording layout preset, which was missing from the Flutter SDK. This also fixes an issue where an audio-only recording started by another participant or the REST API would not emit onRecordingStarted (the event failed to deserialize).

Changed

• Breaking: the minimum supported Flutter version is now 3.32.0 (Dart 3.8.0). If you cannot upgrade Flutter yet, stay on 0.39.0.

• Relaxed the permission_handler constraint to >=11.3.1 <14.0.0, so it no longer holds your app to one major version of that package.

• Model classes such as Participant and CallState are now declared abstract or sealed. Constructing them, reading their fields, copyWith and the union helpers are all unchanged; only extending or implementing them directly no longer works.

• Upgraded libwebrtc to branch-heads/8010 (M153). Its vendored media and crypto dependencies (ffmpeg, libvpx and BoringSSL among them) are substantially newer.

• Breaking: the minimum supported iOS version is now 14.0 (was 13.0). This follows the libwebrtc upgrade, which is built against an iOS 14.0 deployment target.

• The bundled example app now targets iOS 15.0. The SDK itself still supports 14.0; the example is raised separately because Apple requires a MinimumOSVersion of 15.0 or later for apps uploaded to App Store Connect from Spring 2027.

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where videoBitrate and audioBitrate in a meeting token's start_cloud_recording_opts were ignored, causing recordings started from the token to use the default bitrates.

• Fixed multiple memory, thread and file descriptor leaks when creating and releasing CallClients.

• Fixed an issue on Android where enabling the microphone during a call sent no audio if the camera had been enabled first while the microphone was off.

0.39.0 - 2026-07-24

Added

• Added StreamingLayout.rawTracksAudioOnly, the raw-tracks-audio-only recording layout preset for audio-only raw-tracks recordings.

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where participants would appear as "guest" in saved transcriptions.

• Fixed an issue where the raw-tracks-audio-only recording layout preset in a meeting token's start_cloud_recording_opts was ignored, causing raw-tracks recordings to include video.

• Fixed an issue where server-side startRecording() failures were reported as an opaque deserialization error instead of a proper recording error.

0.38.0 - 2026-06-19

Added

• Added automatic fallback to dailywebrtc.com and dailywebrtc.net when daily.co authoritative nameservers are unreachable, improving connection resilience.

Fixed

• Fixed panics in signalling reconnect paths when room lookup returns no worker.

• Fixed support for cloud-audio-only recording type

Performance

• Replaced ureq HTTP client with hyper + rustls (ring backend). Includes connection timeouts, TLS configuration reuse, and per-request timing metrics for DNS lookup, TCP connect, and TLS handshake.

• Added per-phase connection timing metrics for WebSocket signalling (DNS lookup, TCP connect, TLS handshake, and WebSocket upgrade), complementing the existing HTTP connection timings.

0.37.0 - 2026-01-16

Fixed

• Avoid unnecessary signalling reconnection attempts when leave() is called during a network failure.

0.34.0 - 2025-09-17

Added

• Support for 16kB page size Android devices

0.33.0 - 2025-08-11

Added

• Added new signalling message to report the meeting type.

Fixed

• Fixed an issue with budget Android smartphones where the app could get stuck on launch.

0.32.0 - 2025-07-23

Added

• Support the new canReceive permission, which involves:
  • Adding the canReceive permission to:
    • ParticipantPermissions (the type in the Participant model)
    • ParticipantPermissionsUpdate (the type used by updateRemoteParticipants())
  • Showing the proper track state (i.e. off, with reason receivePermission) when canReceive permission is lacking for a remote track.
  • Resuming receiving remote tracks when previously-revoked canReceive permissions have been restored.

Changed

• Updated daily-flutter dependencies.

Fixed

• Handle meeting session ID changes which occur once the session has started.

• Fixed an issue on smartphones with a 32-bit OS where the app would get stuck on launch.

• Fixed an issue where participants from previous meetings were being retained.

0.31.0 - 2025-05-06

Added

• Retrying multiple times to open the signalling channel during the join.

• Alternate websocket URI format to avoid connection issues potentially caused by ISPs.

0.30.0 - 2025-03-31

Fixed

• Fixed issue where the ice servers configured by the user were not being applied when creating the PeerConnection.

• Fixed a potential crash in the Flutter iOS SDK when disposing the renderer.

0.29.0 - 2025-02-28

Added

• Added support to automatically start a recording when joining a room if the start_cloud_recording token property is set to True.

Changed

• Updated third party dependencies

Fixed

• Fixed issue that when running flutter build ios framework, the GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS settings from the Podfile were not being included. This caused the daily_flutter package to incorrectly assume that permissions weren’t granted.

• Fixed an issue where reconnection would fail if the meeting token was no longer valid.

0.28.0 - 2024-12-13

Changed

• Renamed org.webrtc package to co.daily.webrtc to avoid conflicts.

Fixed

• Fixed various Android build issues seen with new versions of Gradle, Java, and AGP.

• Fixed a logging-related crash (stack overflow) that could occur when rapidly starting and stopping the SDK.

• Fixed an issue where missing fields in the domain/room permission config could cause a connection failure.

• Improved meeting move robustness by increasing the number of retries, to account for situations where the backend takes longer to complete the move.

0.22.0 - 2024-08-05

Added

• Added new metrics that will allow us to better understand the meeting quality.

Fixed

• Preventing Flutter iOS from crashing when closing the app (via the user manually swiping away).

• Preventing Flutter Android from crashing when closing the app if the surfaceTextureHelper has not been properly initialized.

• Fixed an issue to show the correct state when the mic is muted remotely.

• Fixed an issue with meeting moves that could occur in an exceptional case where, for a short period of time, we didn't receive information about which worker server to connect to.

0.20.0 - 2024-05-20

Added

• Added support for Flutter 3.22 and Dart 3.4.

Fixed

• Fixed multi-threading issue encountered when sending events.

• Resolved an issue where the videos sent had the wrong orientation when viewed on iOS mobile web.

• Fixed an issue where joinedAt value (participant info) could sometimes be zero.

• Fixed issue where onParticipantUpdated() didn't reflect the new state of the local participant's screen video track, in cases where leave() was called while a screen share was active.

• Fixed an issue that could cause join to fail if recording/transcription/live stream was started from the REST API.

• Fixed an issue that would not allow join to succeed if a React Native client was already in the room.

0.16.0-beta.1 - 2024-03-04

Bringing the latest changes to daily-flutter, primarily focused on fixing multiple issues that could cause deadlock during network reconnection, enhancing performance, and reducing the bundle size for Android.

0.1.0-alpha.1 - 2023-01-17

Initial alpha release.
