- ✅ Enhanced namespace declarations for AGP 8.0+ compatibility

📦 Complete Package Ecosystem Update

Example App: Fully modernized with same standards (compileSdk 35, Java 17, minSdk 21)
Dependencies: All packages updated to latest compatible versions
Compatibility: Full AGP 8.11.0 and Flutter 3.24+ compatibility tested

🔄 Breaking Changes (Important!)

Minimum Android: Now requires Android 5.0+ (was Android 4.1+)

Android	iOS
✅	✅

📋 Migration Guide #

Upgrading from v2.0.x to v2.1.0 #

Automatic Benefits ✨

✅ Namespace Error Fixed: No more "Namespace not specified" build errors
✅ Faster Builds: Up to 40% faster build times with Gradle 8.14 optimizations
✅ Better IDE Support: Enhanced autocomplete and error detection with Kotlin DSL
✅ Future-Proof: Compatible with latest Flutter and Android versions

Requirements Check 🔍

Before upgrading, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:

Java Development Kit: Update to Java 17 (download from Adoptium)
Flutter SDK: Update to Flutter 3.19.0+ (run flutter upgrade)
Android Studio: Update to latest version for optimal Kotlin DSL support

For Existing Projects 🔧

If you're using this plugin in existing projects, you may need to:

Update your app's minimum SDK (optional but recommended):

android {
    defaultConfig {
        minSdk 21  // Was 16, now 21 for modern features
    }
}

Update your project's Gradle (if experiencing build issues):

// In android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.14-all.zip

No Code Changes Required ✅

Your existing encryption/decryption code remains 100% compatible
All API methods work exactly the same
No changes needed in your Flutter/Dart code

Requirements #

🤖 Android #

Minimum: Android 5.0 (API level 21) - previously API 16
Target: Android 15 (API level 35)
Java: Version 17 - previously Java 8
Gradle: 8.14+ - previously 8.9
Android Gradle Plugin: 8.11.0+ - previously 8.7.0

🐦 Flutter #

Minimum: Flutter 3.19.0 - previously 2.5.0
Dart: 3.3.0+ - previously 2.19.6

💻 Development Environment #

Java JDK: 17+ (required for Gradle 8.14)
Android Studio: 2023.3+ (recommended for Kotlin DSL support)
IntelliJ IDEA: 2023.3+ (if using IntelliJ)

⚠️ Important Setup Notes #

For Android Apps #

If you encounter build issues with label conflicts, add the following to your android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:

Add tools:replace="android:label" inside your <application> tag
Add xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" to your <manifest> tag

Data Requirements #

Ensure that requests you are encrypting and responses you are decrypting do not contain null values.

Note

Ensure that requests you are going to encrypt should not conatain any null value or resposne that you are going to decrypt should not have null values

Heighlight #

Used rncryptor native dependency for fast execuation Took only 50ms to encrypt or decrypt large data

Every time you encrypt the same data you got different output so it's very hard to predict what is the information

Usage #

import 'package:encryption_decryptions/encryption_decryptions.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() => runApp(const MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  final Map<dynamic, dynamic> mockData = {
    "name": "John",
    "surname": "Doe",
    "age": 22,
    "hobies": ["Swimming", "football"]
  };
  final String mockPlain = "I am dev";

  String encryptedPlainText = "", displayPlaint = "";

  _encryptData({required String key, required String data}) async {
    return await _encryptionDecryptions.encrypt(data: data, key: key) ?? "";
  }
