location_platform_interface 7.1.0

A common platform interface for the location plugin.

7.1.0

💥 Behavior changes

• LocationData.fromMap reports isMock and isProducedByAccessory as null when the platform map omits the key, instead of defaulting to false. An absent key means the platform exposes no such flag, which is not the same as having checked. Also makes fromMap → toJson → fromJson round-trip for those two fields.

7.0.0

💥 Breaking changes

• LocationData.latitude and LocationData.longitude are now non-nullable (double instead of double?). Every platform implementation always sets both, so the nullability was never load-bearing; fromMap/fromJson now throw instead of silently producing a LocationData with null coordinates if given a map that omits them (#675).

Added

• LocationData.toJson(), LocationData.fromJson() and LocationData.copyWith().
• LocationData.isMock, populated on Apple platforms from CLLocation.sourceInformation.isSimulatedBySoftware (#796).
• LocationData.isProducedByAccessory, populated on Apple platforms from CLLocation.sourceInformation?.isProducedByAccessory (#914).
• LocationPlatform.isBackgroundPermissionGranted(), reporting whether background ("Allow all the time"/Always) location access has been granted, independent of foreground access (#538).
• LocationPlatform.getLastKnownLocation(), returning the most recently cached LocationData immediately, or null when none is available, without waiting for a fresh fix (#733).
• backgroundInterval parameter on changeSettings, an Android-only alternate update interval used while background mode is enabled (#1011).
• requireBackgroundPermission parameter on enableBackgroundMode (Android only; defaults to true, preserving current behavior). When false, skips the ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION prompt and relies on the foreground-service background-access exemption instead (#600).
• imageName parameter on changeNotificationOptions, for a background notification large icon resolved by drawable name (#856).
• iconBytes/imageBytes parameters on changeNotificationOptions, an alternative to iconName/imageName for callers that render an icon at runtime (e.g. from a Flutter IconData) instead of bundling a drawable resource (#1017).
