flutter_device_apps 1.0.0

App-facing API for listing/inspecting installed apps (federated).

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 isAppInstalled, isSystemApp, isAppEnabled, and isAppLaunchable to query app state without loading full app metadata.
• 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.
• Updated the example's Android build to Gradle 9.3.1, AGP 9.1.0, Kotlin 2.4.0, and built-in Kotlin support.
• Added API delegation and example widget tests.
• Updated package topics.

0.8.1

• Updated README.md.

0.8.0

• Updates the endorsed Android implementation to flutter_device_apps_android 0.8.0.
• Includes Android Gradle Plugin 9 / built-in Kotlin compatibility through the Android implementation package.
• Keeps compatibility with existing AGP 8.x projects by continuing to support the Kotlin Gradle Plugin path where required.

0.7.0

• Updated federated dependencies to flutter_device_apps_android ^0.7.0 and flutter_device_apps_platform_interface ^0.7.0.
• Expanded available AppInfo metadata via platform packages: uid, apkPath, apkSizeBytes, dataPath, and isOnExternalStorage.
• Updated README.md to document the new raw metadata fields and clarify install location semantics.

0.6.0

• BREAKING: Removed requestedPermissions field from AppInfo class to improve performance
• Added new API: getRequestedPermissions(String packageName) for on-demand permission retrieval
• This change allows fetching permissions only when needed, reducing memory usage and improving app list performance
• Added GitHub Actions workflows for automated PR validation and code quality checks:
  • quality.yml: Validates code formatting, static analysis, and pub.dev publish readiness
  • only-develop-to-main.yml: Enforces branch protection (only develop → main PRs allowed)
• Updated dependencies: flutter_device_apps_android ^0.6.0 and flutter_device_apps_platform_interface ^0.6.0
• Enhanced README.md with consolidated and clarified AppInfo field descriptions
• Improved documentation for on-demand permission retrieval with code examples

0.5.1

• Added new AppInfo fields: category, targetSdkVersion, minSdkVersion, enabled, processName, installLocation, requestedPermissions.

0.4.0

• App change events now forward the raw Android action string to Dart, which maps it to AppChangeType without breaking existing API.
• Modernized event listening: no manual start/stop, just listen to the stream.

0.3.1

• Fixed screenshot URLs in README for proper display on pub.dev

0.3.0

• Added comprehensive example app with improved UI, real-time monitoring, and pre-configured AndroidManifest
• Added 6 professional screenshots in 2x3 grid layout to README

0.2.0

• Added openAppSettings(String packageName) API to open system app settings screen
• Added uninstallApp(String packageName) API to trigger system uninstall UI
• Added getInstallerStore(String packageName) API to get app's installer store info
• Added explicit startAppChangeStream() and stopAppChangeStream() methods for better control
• Improved documentation with detailed parameter explanations and performance notes
• Added Android permission requirements documentation
• Added error handling section with all platform exception codes
• Added troubleshooting section for common issues
