Usage

You can use the PackageInfo to query information about the application package. This works both on iOS and Android.

import 'package:package_info_plus/package_info_plus.dart';

...

// Be sure to add this line if `PackageInfo.fromPlatform()` is called before runApp()
WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();

...

PackageInfo packageInfo = await PackageInfo.fromPlatform();

String appName = packageInfo.appName;
String packageName = packageInfo.packageName;
String version = packageInfo.version;
String buildNumber = packageInfo.buildNumber;

Known Issues

iOS

Plugin returns incorrect app version

Flutter build tools allow only digits and . (dot) symbols to be used in version of pubspec.yaml on iOS/MacOS to comply with official version format from Apple.

More info available in this comment

I have changed version in pubspec.yaml and plugin returns wrong info

As noted on issue 20761, package_info_plus on iOS requires the Xcode build folder to be rebuilt after changes to the version string in pubspec.yaml. Clean the Xcode build folder with: XCode Menu -> Product -> (Holding Option Key) Clean build folder.

Android (and potentially all platforms)

Calling to PackageInfo.fromPlatform() before the runApp() call will cause an exception. See https://github.com/fluttercommunity/plus_plugins/issues/309
