launchify 1.0.9

Customizable Flutter widgets for launching WhatsApp, Maps, and social links with app checks and RTL support.

1.0.9

• Replace deprecated platform checks with Flutter platform detection, guarded on web.
• Honor confirmation before social-link launches and provide English dialog text without requiring localization setup.
• Report launch results once per action, invoke launch-attempt callbacks, and track Android chooser launches.
• Correct calendar UTC/all-day dates, social URL handling, and calendar parameters.
• Fix equality/hash consistency for LaunchOptions and CalendarEvent collections.
• Prevent stale preview responses and errors from replacing newer URLs; resolve relative preview images and preserve fallback tap callbacks.
• Remove unused dependencies and the library lockfile; use the public Greelogix homepage instead of inaccessible GitHub metadata links.
• Add launcher/preview regression tests, replace the stale demo test, and update native build tooling.
• Migrate the iOS demo to the current UIScene lifecycle and Swift Package Manager, targeting iOS 15+.
• Declare the existing dependency requirements: Flutter 3.38.1+ and Dart 3.10+.

1.0.8

• Critical Stability & Performance Fixes:

  • Fixed static mutable debounce state — replaced single shared timestamp with per-widget debounce keying (debounceKey parameter), eliminating race conditions when multiple LaunchLink widgets are tapped simultaneously on screen.
  • Fixed LaunchPreviewCard silent failures — added browser User-Agent header and manual redirect following so OpenGraph metadata now loads correctly from Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, and other CDN-protected sites. Added 10-minute in-memory cache to eliminate redundant fetches.
  • Fixed stale iOS app availability cache — replaced unbounded static cache with TTL-based _CacheEntry (5-minute expiration). Added IosAppLauncher.clearCache() for manual invalidation.
  • Eliminated all debugPrint calls in release builds — wrapped all logging with kDebugMode guards or assert() blocks, reducing binary size and preventing log spam in production.
  • Fixed double-launch bug — bypassAppDetectionAndFallback path now returns immediately on success instead of falling through and launching the URI a second time.
  • Fixed duplicate universalLinkDomains set — extracted to a single _universalLinkDomains constant shared between launchAction and _launchUrl.

• Architecture & API Improvements:

  • Fixed fragile URI type inference in LaunchLinkRow — added explicit launchType parameter (automatically set by LaunchLink). Facebook share URLs and similar edge cases no longer mis-classify as LaunchType.share. Inference logic retained as backward-compat fallback and improved to correctly identify X/Twitter, Threads, GitHub.
  • Wired UrlValidator into launch path — UrlValidator.isValid() is now enforced in _launchUrl, blocking launches when the URI scheme is not in allowedSchemes.
  • Integrated LaunchAnalytics into launch flow — LaunchAnalytics.trackLaunch() fires automatically on every successful launch. Added setExternalTracker() for persistent analytics (Firebase, Amplitude, etc.). Exported LaunchAnalytics publicly from launchify.dart.
  • Documented CalendarEvent.attendees as no-op — clarified in doc comments that the Google Calendar URL scheme does not support pre-populating attendees; field is reserved for future native API integration.

• Code Quality & Maintainability:

  • Eliminated widget tree duplication — extracted shared button/row content into _ButtonContent / _RowContent private widgets used by both animated and non-animated paths in LaunchActionButton and LaunchLinkRow.
  • Replaced no-op AnimatedContainer with real press animation — both action buttons and link rows now use AnimatedScale for tactile 96–97% shrink-on-press feedback (wrapped via _PressScaleWrapper / _AnimatedRow).

• Dependency Updates:

  • Updated share_plus: ^12.0.1 → ^13.0.0 (latest stable, v13 API already in use).
  • Updated flutter_svg: ^2.2.4 → ^2.3.0 (latest).
  • All transitive dependencies resolved to latest compatible versions.

1.0.7

• Stability & Maintenance:
  • Resolved build errors related to code syntax and missing constructor initializers.
  • Fixed an asset loading crash in the example application by correctly bundling test_icon.svg.
  • Updated share_plus integration to use the latest API, eliminating all deprecation warnings.
  • Fully optimized for a 140/140 pub.dev score with comprehensive documentation for all public components.
  • Ran a project-wide code formatting and analysis pass for maximum standards compliance.
  • Shortened package description in pubspec.yaml to meet pub.dev requirements.

1.0.6

• API Improvements:
  • Added direct String value support to LaunchActionButton, LaunchLinkRow, and LaunchLink.
  • Streamlined URI handling by automatically parsing values if uri is not provided.
• Performance & Performance:
  • Optimized iOS app installation checks using parallel URI checks and caching for faster response times.
  • Implemented internal tap debouncing (500ms) to prevent multiple app launches.
  • Enhanced Universal Link detection to force LaunchMode.externalApplication for supported domains (Instagram, TikTok, etc.).
• New Features:
  • Introduced LaunchPreviewCard for rich social media link previews with OpenGraph metadata fetching.
  • Added support for new LaunchType values: LaunchType.x and LaunchType.threads.
  • Expanded UrlBuilder with specialized deep link generators.
• Documentation & Growth:
  • Added a comprehensive comparison table to README.md.
  • Optimized SEO keywords for better pub.dev discoverability.
• Stability & Maintenance:
  • Resolved build errors related to code syntax and missing constructor initializers.
  • Fixed an asset loading crash in the example application by correctly bundling test_icon.svg.
  • Updated share_plus integration to use the latest API, eliminating all deprecation warnings.
  • Fully optimized for a 140/140 pub.dev score with comprehensive documentation for all public components.
  • Ran a package-wide code formatting and analysis pass for maximum stability and standards compliance.

  • Ensured TikTok video links open directly as videos.
  • Refactored to use user-provided value directly for TikTok URLs, removing custom URI building.
• Social Media Platform Enhancements (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, GitHub):

  • Added checkAppInstallation (boolean) and appStoreLink (string) to LaunchOptions for configuration.
  • Utilizes external_app_launcher for robust Android app installation checks via package names.

  • Android: Utilizes android_intent_plus for native app choosers.
  • iOS: Provides a custom dialog to select from available apps.
• Backward Compatibility: Maintained backward compatibility with existing launch methods by inferring LaunchType from Uri when LaunchOptions are not explicitly provided.
• Widget Integration: LaunchOptions can now be passed through LaunchLink, LaunchActionButton, and LaunchLinkRow widgets to configure multi-choice behavior directly from your UI.
• Dependency Updates: Updated android_intent_plus to version 4.0.3 to resolve build issues and improve compatibility.
• Code Stability: Addressed BuildContext usage across async gaps in launcher.dart to prevent potential runtime errors.
