external_app_launcher 4.0.4

A Flutter plugin which helps you to open another app from your app

4.0.4

• Fix (#51): Removed legacy Registrar reference on Android; plugin now uses the v2 embedding API, resolving build failure "cannot find symbol: class Registrar".
• Fix (#56): Resolved missing symbol linker errors that caused a crash on iOS 15.3; build now succeeds on iOS 13+.
• Fix (#31): Resolved MissingPluginException on the launch_vpn method channel; plugin registers correctly on both Android and iOS.
• Fix (#43): Removed NSLog debug statements ("Is reaching here1/2") from the iOS native layer.
• Fix (#22): Replaced the opaque "something went wrong" error with descriptive return values ("App is installed but has no launch activity", "App is not installed and store redirect is disabled").
• Fix (#36): Added Huawei AppGallery support on Android; devices with HMS but no GMS are now redirected to AppGallery (appmarket://details?id=…) instead of Google Play.
• Feat (#24): Added LaunchApp.openSafari(url:) helper to open a URL directly in Safari on iOS.
• Feat (#23): Added LaunchApp.openUrlInBrowser() and LaunchApp.openUrlInChrome() APIs to open a URL in a specific browser on Android/iOS, with automatic fallback to the system default browser if the target browser is not installed.
• Fix (#34): Added <queries> intent declaration in the plugin AndroidManifest.xml so that isAppInstalled() reliably detects third-party packages (e.g. Zoom) on Android 11+ without requiring apps to declare QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES.
• Fix (#8): openApp() and openUrlInBrowser() now catch SecurityException and return a descriptive message instead of crashing when called from a background context on Android 10+.
• Fix (iOS docs, #27): Documented that iOS requires a registered custom URL scheme; attempting to launch an app via bundle ID alone is not supported due to iOS sandboxing.
