smart_location_plus 0.2.0

A unified Flutter location package combining geolocator, geocoding, and native geofencing into one simple, powerful API. Battery-efficient, platform-native geofencing. Zero boilerplate, full customization.

0.2.0

• BREAKING: Replaced pure-Dart polling geofencing engine with platform-native geofencing via native_geofence
  • Uses CLLocationManager on iOS and GeofencingClient on Android
  • Significantly lower battery drain compared to Dart-side location polling
  • Geofences persist across app restarts and device reboots
  • Works reliably in background and terminated states
• Added native_geofence: ^1.2.1 as a dependency
• Android: requires minSdkVersion 23 and new BroadcastReceiver entries in AndroidManifest.xml
• iOS: requires NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription in Info.plist
• Public API (watchZone(), addZone(), stopWatchingZone(), stopWatchingZones()) remains unchanged
• Updated README with native geofencing setup instructions
