flutter_device_apps 1.1.0

Flutter plugin to list installed Android apps, get app icons, check installation status, launch apps, and detect packaged frameworks.

1.1.0

• BREAKING: Removed getInstallerStore; use getInstallSourceInfo.
• Added getApps for batch lookups.
• Added detectAppFrameworks and AppFramework.
• Added packageNameContains, combined with packageNamePrefix using AND.
• Updated the example app.

1.0.0

• BREAKING: Raised the minimum requirements to Dart 3.12.0 and Flutter 3.44.0.
• Updated flutter_device_apps_android and flutter_device_apps_platform_interface dependencies to ^1.0.0.

• Added getAppIcon to retrieve an app icon separately as PNG bytes.
• Added getInstallSourceInfo and exported AppInstallSourceInfo for installer, initiating package, originating package, package source, and update owner information.
• Deprecated getInstallerStore. Use getInstallSourceInfo and its installingPackageName field instead.
• Added optional, case-sensitive packageNamePrefix filtering to listApps, applied before loading app metadata and icons. Null or empty disables the filter.
• Includes the Android implementation's appChanges subscription cleanup and restart fix.
• Expanded the example app with package queries, separate icon and install source loading, prefix filtering, and app change monitoring controls.
