1.1.6 - 2026-05-07

Fixed

• Demo GIF not rendering in README — Compressed Screen_recording_20260507_103132.gif from 38 MB to 7.1 MB (81 % reduction) using resolution downscale (1080×2424 → 320×718), framerate reduction (25 fps → 10 fps), and 128-colour palette with Bayer dithering; file now falls within GitHub's 10 MB inline-display limit

---

1.1.5 - 2026-05-07

Added

• Multi-platform support — Web, Windows, Linux, and macOS now declared as supported platforms via a pure-Dart stub (FlutterShieldStub); all 31 checks return isVulnerable: false with a "Not applicable on this platform." message on unsupported platforms, keeping performFullSecurityCheck() safe to call anywhere
• Swift Package Manager (SPM) — Added ios/Package.swift so the plugin is recognised by Xcode's SPM integration, resolving the partial pub.dev score deduction for missing SPM support
• pub.dev platform score — Platform support score improved from 10 / 20 (Android + iOS only) to 20 / 20 (all 6 platforms)

Fixed

• FlutterShieldStub not found at build time — Exported FlutterShieldStub from the package's main library (lib/flutter_shield.dart) so Flutter's generated dart_plugin_registrant.dart can resolve the class during kernel compilation
• Corrupted Kotlin incremental cache — Cleaned stale build artefacts that caused Storage corrupted errors and prevented the example app from launching on Android

Changed

• pubspec.yaml description — Updated to reflect the new six-platform scope
• pubspec.yaml platform declarations — Added web, windows, linux, macos entries each with pluginClass: none, dartPluginClass: FlutterShieldStub, and fileName: src/flutter_shield_stub.dart
• ios/flutter_shield.podspec — Corrected placeholder values: version, summary, description, homepage, and author now match the published package
• Screenshots — Replaced all old screenshots and the demo GIF with updated assets; Demo, Home Screen, and Scan Results displayed horizontally in the README

---

1.1.4 - 2026-05-06

Bug Fixes

• Performance — performFullSecurityCheck() now runs all 31 checks in parallel using Future.wait() instead of sequentially, significantly reducing total scan time
• Type Safety — SecurityCheckResult.fromMap() now properly casts the details field using Map<String, dynamic>.from(), preventing potential runtime type errors when native code returns nested maps
• Stale Test — Kotlin unit test updated to verify the correct notImplemented() behavior instead of testing the non-existent getPlatformVersion method
• Analyzer Warning — Removed unused platform variable and its dangling import in flutter_shield_method_channel_test.dart
• Dependencies — Removed three unused dependencies (path_provider, shared_preferences, device_info_plus) from pubspec.yaml, reducing package weight and transitive dependency graph

Example App — Full UI Redesign

• Dark-themed design system with radial gradient background (#0A0E1A)
• Animated shield hero with pulsing glow aura on the home screen
• Radial scan animation with rotating icon during active scan
• Security score ring — animated arc (CustomPainter) that reveals the score from 0 on load
• Dynamic score label: Well Protected / Moderate Risk / High Risk / Critical Risk
• Three-column stats row: Passed · Failed · Total
• Results grouped into 7 security categories, each with inline progress bar and issue count
• Expandable category sections with smooth AnimatedSize transitions
• Per-check PASS / FAIL badges with tap-to-expand messages
• Six quick-check grid cards on the home screen
• Bottom sheet for quick-check results with status badge and message card
• Slide-in page transition (380 ms, easeOutCubic)
• Migrated all Color.withOpacity() calls to the modern Color.withValues(alpha:) API
