package_info_plus_watchos 0.1.0

watchOS implementation of the package_info_plus plugin, reading app name, version, build number, and install metadata from NSBundle via dart:ffi.

package_info_plus_watchos

The watchOS implementation of package_info_plus.

Scaffolded with flutter-watchos plugin port and finished by hand as an FFI implementation over NSBundle — see PORTING_REPORT.md.

Usage

This is a federated plugin implementation. Apps that already depend on package_info_plus and target watchOS only need to add this package as a dependency, alongside the upstream plugin:

dependencies:
  package_info_plus: ^8.0.0
  package_info_plus_watchos: ^0.1.0

PackageInfo.fromPlatform() then works on the watch — no imports needed in app code.

API coverage

Field	watchOS
appName	✅ CFBundleDisplayName / CFBundleName
packageName	✅ CFBundleIdentifier
version	✅ CFBundleShortVersionString
buildNumber	✅ CFBundleVersion
buildSignature	— empty (Android-only concept)
installerStore	— null (no App Store installer-source API on watchOS)
installTime / updateTime	— null (no watchOS API)

Example on the watch screen

The package ships the upstream example app and its official integration test verbatim. The upstream UI is phone-designed and does not fit a watch screen at native density, so the example's runner opts into the flutter-watchos content scale (watchos/Runner/Info.plist):

<key>FlutterWatchOSContentScale</key>
<real>0.4</real>

This lays the app out in a proportionally larger logical space rendered smaller — same layout, smaller components — without touching the example's Dart code. With it, the full official integration test passes on the watch simulator.
