help_scout_beacon 0.1.0

Streamline customer communications in your app with the Help Scout Beacon SDK for Flutter.

Changelog

0.1.0

Web

• Web support: the plugin now works on web via the Help Scout JS Beacon SDK (dart:js_interop), alongside iOS/Android, through a single API. The Beacon loader is injected automatically on setup(), and init runs once per beaconId (re-initing an already-initialized web Beacon otherwise logs "Beacon has already been initialized").
• Add HelpScoutBeacon.logout() — a static, context-free logout (maps to Beacon('logout') on web, native user-clear on iOS/Android).
• BREAKING: prefillContactForm now takes List<XFile>? (from package:cross_file) instead of List<File>?, so the public API is web-safe. Pass XFile(file.path) instead of a dart:io File. Attachments remain iOS/Android-only — the web Beacon prefill ignores them.
• BREAKING: minimum Dart SDK raised to 3.4.0 (required for dart:js_interop).

iOS

• Add Swift Package Manager support.
• Bump beacon-ios-sdk SPM constraint from 4.0.0 to 4.1.0 — picks up upstream fixes for an NSSecureCoding keychain-decoding failure on launch and email-validation alignment with the Beacon web validator (release notes).

Android

• Update Beacon dependency to beacon:7.0.2.
• BeaconInitProvider pre-builds Beacon at process start from the host app's com.helpscout.beacon.BeaconId manifest meta-data, preventing BeaconActivity crashing with "Beacon not initialized" after process-death restoration.
• BeaconInitProvider android:initOrder=-100 so it runs after the SDK's own com.helpscout.beacon.BeaconInitProvider (which sets up BeaconCoordinator); the build call is wrapped in try/catch for SDK-internals safety.
