firebase_update 1.0.6

Flutter force update, maintenance mode & patch notes via Firebase Remote Config. Real-time, server-controlled, with built-in UI and full customization.

1.0.6

UI refresh

• Refined default overlays: Refreshed the package-managed dialog and sheet UI for optional update, force update, and maintenance flows. The latest pass simplifies the header area down to a single centered icon, tightens vertical rhythm around the title and notes, and removes the extra status/version strip so the defaults feel cleaner and easier to scan
• Balanced maintenance spacing: Maintenance dialogs and sheets now trim the empty action gap and use cleaner top/bottom padding when no buttons are rendered, so the default blocking maintenance UI no longer looks vertically off-balance
• Overlay preloading hook: Added onBeforePresent to FirebaseUpdateConfig, allowing apps to await GIF/image precaching or any other async preparation before a package-managed overlay is shown
• More theme control: Added new optional FirebaseUpdatePresentationTheme tokens for panelGradient, heroGlowColor, noteBackgroundColor, statusBackgroundColor, and statusForegroundColor so apps can tune the richer default UI without replacing it entirely
• Optional sheet dismiss parity: Tapping outside a dismissible optional-update bottom sheet now follows the same path as pressing Later, including session-dismiss and snoozeDuration timer behavior. Previously a barrier tap could close the sheet without starting the expected snooze flow
• Expanded sheet safety: Long patch-note bottom sheets now keep their action row above the safe area while the notes body scrolls independently, so Read more / Show less does not push buttons off-screen
• Simplified example app: Reworked the example app into a cleaner, lighter demo surface focused on state simulation, long-content testing, and live JSON preview, and removed the customization preview section
• Full-screen maintenance example: Rebuilt the example app's custom maintenance takeover using a Stitch-guided full-screen layout with a preloaded network GIF, and moved the demo alongside the long-content/custom-surface examples instead of the basic simulator grid
• Debug back escape hatch: Added allowDebugBack to FirebaseUpdateConfig. When enabled, force-update and maintenance presentations show a subtle debug-only back action outside the blocking overlay in Flutter debug mode, allowing developers to temporarily bypass the gate locally without affecting release builds. The example app now enables this for blocking simulator previews and live JSON testing, while screenshot capture pins it off so README assets stay clean

Bug fixes

• Custom builder dismissal parity: FirebaseUpdatePresentationData.onLaterClick, onSkipClick, and dismissible custom action callbacks now dismiss package-managed dialogs and sheets consistently when used inside custom optionalUpdateWidget, forceUpdateWidget, and maintenanceWidget builders. Previously the built-in UI auto-dismissed, but custom builders only received the state-update callback, so "Later" could snooze correctly while leaving the dialog visible unless the app manually popped it
• Blocking dialog recovery after external navigation: Force-update and maintenance gates now re-present themselves if some unrelated navigator mutation removes the overlay route while the app is still in a blocking state. Previously the presenter could keep stale internal state and assume the gate was still active, leaving the app accessible until the next state change
• Full-screen maintenance rendering cleanup: The example app's full-screen maintenance takeover now renders inside a proper Material surface instead of a raw decorated widget tree, fixing the yellow debug underlines/text styling glitches and making the takeover behave like a real screen. The blocking dialog debug-back control was also repositioned as a screen overlay so custom full-screen maintenance widgets are not forced into centered-card layout constraints

1.0.5

Bug fixes

• Force→optional snooze regression: When a snooze was active and the server raised the minimum version (triggering a force update), rolling the minimum back to optional would silently suppress the optional dialog — the force dialog dismissed but nothing appeared. Fixed by clearing any active optional snooze as soon as a force update state is presented. The user was blocked by the server, not voluntarily deferring, so the snooze should not persist through a force update event
• snoozedForVersion not persisted: _snoozedForVersion was held in-memory only. After a restart the version-mismatch check that clears a stale snooze when a newer version is offered was always skipped, meaning a snooze for v1.x could silently suppress an optional prompt for v1.y in a new session. Fixed by persisting the snooze target version via the new setSnoozedForVersion / getSnoozedForVersion methods on FirebaseUpdatePreferencesStore — both with no-op defaults so custom store implementations are not broken

Store interface additions (non-breaking)

• FirebaseUpdatePreferencesStore.getSnoozedForVersion() — default returns null
• FirebaseUpdatePreferencesStore.setSnoozedForVersion(String version) — default is a no-op
• clearSnoozedUntil() now also removes the persisted snoozedForVersion in SharedPreferencesFirebaseUpdateStore

1.0.4

• Integration test screenshots: Added example/integration_test/screenshot_test.dart — captures 8 UI states (optional dialog, optional sheet, force dialog, force sheet, maintenance dialog, maintenance sheet, patch notes expanded, home screen) via flutter drive. Added scripts/take_screenshots.sh to run screenshot capture against a connected device or simulator. Screenshots are saved to screenshots/ at the package root and used as README assets
• Analytics callbacks (zero new dependencies): Four new optional callbacks on FirebaseUpdateConfig — onDialogShown(state), onDialogDismissed(state), onSnoozed(version, duration), onVersionSkipped(version). Wire these to Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel, Amplitude, or any SDK your app already uses
• FirebaseUpdateCard inline widget: New FirebaseUpdateCard widget using FirebaseUpdateBuilder internally. Renders nothing when state is idle or upToDate. Shows a styled tinted card for optionalUpdate, forceUpdate, maintenance, and shorebirdPatch states. Accepts optional onUpdateTap and onLaterTap overrides. Drop into settings screens, home feeds, or any scrollable layout
• checkNow() already existed — no new API required. Wired listenToRealtimeUpdates: false properly: when set, the real-time RC subscription is not started and checkNow() is the only way to refresh state
• Desktop layout: New desktopMaxDialogWidth (default 480) on FirebaseUpdatePresentationTheme. On macOS, Windows, and Linux the dialog content is capped at this width so it doesn't stretch across wide monitors. Has no effect on mobile
• Allowed flavors whitelist: New allowedFlavors: List<String>? on FirebaseUpdateConfig. Reads String.fromEnvironment('FLAVOR') at runtime — when set, all UI and state emission is suppressed if the current flavor is not in the list. Default null = always active. Pass --dart-define=FLAVOR=production at build time to activate

1.0.3

• Renamed presentation callbacks: FirebaseUpdatePresentationData callbacks renamed from onPrimaryTap/onSecondaryTap/onTertiaryTap to onUpdateClick/onLaterClick/onSkipClick for clarity
• Dismiss booleans: Added dismissOnUpdateClick, dismissOnLaterClick, dismissOnSkipClick (all default true) to FirebaseUpdatePresentationData — controls whether the modal auto-dismisses after each button tap; custom widget builders can set any to false to handle navigation themselves
• Real-time snooze: Tapping "Later" now starts a timer internally — the optional update dialog re-appears automatically after the snooze duration elapses, without requiring an app restart or a new Remote Config push. Version-aware: a different latestVersion clears the snooze immediately and re-prompts
• Store fallback always opens: When the app is not found on the store (e.g. staging build), the launcher now opens the store home page (https://apps.apple.com/ on iOS/macOS, market://search on Android, ms-windows-store:// on Windows) instead of showing an error toast
• Removed error toast: The "Unable to open the update link" snackbar is gone — the store always opens via one of the four priority tiers

1.0.2

• RC-driven store URLs: store_url_android, store_url_ios, store_url_macos, store_url_windows, store_url_linux, store_url_web can now be set in the Remote Config JSON payload. When present, they take priority over the local FirebaseUpdateConfig.fallbackStoreUrls values, allowing store URLs to be updated without a rebuild.

1.0.1

• Topics: Added pub.dev topics (updates, versioning, remote-config, firebase, app-management)
• Store launch override: New onStoreLaunch callback on FirebaseUpdateConfig — replaces the default app_review + url_launcher store-open flow with your own logic; dialog dismisses automatically after the callback returns
• Button callback hooks: onForceUpdateTap, onOptionalUpdateTap, onOptionalLaterTap on FirebaseUpdateConfig — fire in addition to default behavior for analytics and side effects
• Skip version: Opt-in showSkipVersion: bool config flag adds a persistent "Skip this version" tertiary button to optional-update prompts; persists across restarts via shared_preferences
• Session dismiss (default): Tapping "Later" now suppresses the optional-update prompt for the current app session. The prompt reappears on the next launch
• Timed snooze (opt-in): Set snoozeDuration (e.g. Duration(hours: 24)) to persist the snooze across restarts — the prompt stays hidden until the duration elapses
• Persistence: New FirebaseUpdatePreferencesStore abstract interface + SharedPreferencesFirebaseUpdateStore default implementation; inject a custom store via FirebaseUpdateConfig.preferencesStore
• Programmatic skip/snooze API: FirebaseUpdate.instance.snoozeOptionalUpdate(), skipVersion(), dismissOptionalUpdateForSession(), clearSnooze(), clearSkippedVersion() — lets custom optionalUpdateWidget builders drive SDK state without relying on built-in buttons
• Shorebird patches: New FirebaseUpdatePatchSource abstract interface, FirebaseUpdateKind.shorebirdPatch state, patchSource + onPatchApplied + shorebirdPatchWidget config fields, and a built-in patch dialog/sheet with async download progress indicator; onPatchApplied callback lets you trigger your own restart logic
• Labels: Added skipVersion, patchAvailableTitle, patchAvailableMessage, applyPatch to FirebaseUpdateLabels
• Presentation data: Added tertiaryLabel and onTertiaryTap to FirebaseUpdatePresentationData (and copyWith)
• Dependencies: Added shared_preferences: ">=2.2.0 <4.0.0"
