fdb_helper 1.6.4

Helper package for fdb (Flutter Debug Bridge). Registers VM service extensions for widget interaction, SharedPreferences access, and app data cleanup.

1.6.4

Fixes

• iOS and macOS profile builds now compile the real native tap implementation again. Only release compiles the safe stub. The previous release stubbed both profile and release on Apple, which broke fdb native-tap for profile-mode binaries shipped via internal/dev channels.

1.6.3

Fixes

• iOS/macOS release builds now compile a safe Swift stub instead of the private-API native tap implementation. Debug builds keep the real implementation. (Profile builds were also stubbed in this release; see 1.6.4.)
• Android release builds compile a stub FdbHelperNativeTapImpl via Gradle src/release source sets. Debug and profile keep the real implementation. The Android plugin no longer depends on the debug-only flutter_embedding_debug artifact.

1.6.2

Fixes

• ext.fdb.swipe now uses finer-grained synthetic pointer movement to better match native touch behavior when parent drag recognizers compete with child scale recognizers.

1.6.1

Fixes

• findHittableElement now always walks ancestors when the matched element is non-interactive, so fdb tap --text resolves to the enclosing button rather than the Text leaf (fdb-xdh)
• Pass-through wrappers (IgnorePointer, AbsorbPointer) are excluded as fallback tap targets so route-level IgnorePointer(ignoring: false) no longer leaks as the resolved widget (fdb-gfk)
• The closed list of interactive widget types now covers Cupertino (CupertinoButton, CupertinoSwitch, CupertinoTextField, CupertinoSlider, CupertinoListTile, etc.) and the Material widgets that were missing (Chip family, MenuItemButton, ListTile, BackButton, RangeSlider, InkResponse, navigation widgets, DropdownMenu, ToggleButtons)

1.6.0

No functional changes.

1.5.1

Fixes

• ext.fdb.describe no longer leaks elements from underlying navigator routes — prunes subtrees where the enclosing ModalRoute.isCurrent is false

1.5.0

No functional changes.

1.4.0

Fixes

• ext.fdb.describe now walks the full subtree of GestureDetector and InkWell widgets, surfacing nested interactive children that were previously silently dropped

1.3.0

New

• ext.fdb.doubleTap now correctly invokes the callback when the target widget is hittable

Fixes

• No functional changes to fdb_helper API — version bump to match fdb 1.3.0

1.2.1

Improvements

• No functional changes — version bump to match fdb 1.2.1

1.2.0

New

• ext.fdb.doubleTap - double-tap widgets by selector or coordinates
• ext.fdb.scrollTo - scroll the nearest scrollable until a target widget becomes visible
• ext.fdb.wait - wait for widget and route presence or absence from the VM service

Improvements

• Tap and long-press handlers now support absolute coordinate targeting through the CLI --at x,y flow
• Double-tap test surfaces now expose visible counters so smoke tests verify UI state instead of log timing

1.1.7

New

• ext.fdb.screenshot — renders the Flutter surface to PNG at physical pixel resolution and returns it as base64; used by fdb screenshot as a fallback on platforms with no native capture CLI (physical iOS, Windows, Linux Wayland)

1.1.6

Improvements

• No functional changes — version bump to match fdb 1.1.6

1.1.5

Improvements

• No functional changes — version bump to match fdb 1.1.5

1.1.4

Improvements

• No functional changes — version bump to match fdb 1.1.4

1.1.3

Improvements

• First pub.dev release — package now published to pub.dev as fdb_helper

1.1.2

New

• ext.fdb.sharedPrefs — read/write/clear SharedPreferences (get, get-all, set, remove, clear; supports string, bool, int, double types)
• ext.fdb.clean — delete all entries in the app's temporary, support, and documents directories via path_provider

1.1.1

Improvements

• Initial pub.dev release preparation (README, CHANGELOG, LICENSE)

1.1.0

New

• ext.fdb.back — trigger Navigator.maybePop() on the root navigator

1.0.1

• ext.fdb.scroll — perform a swipe/scroll gesture
• ext.fdb.swipe — swipe widgets (PageView, Dismissible)
