unified_ads_startapp 1.1.0

Start.io (StartApp) adapter for unified_ads. Add it to link only the Start.io SDK into your Android and iOS app.

1.1.0

• README restyled (✨ Features, 🚀 Getting Started, 📖 Usage, …), with usage for interstitial pacing and ad-free mode (AdPacing, UnifiedAds.recordAction, UnifiedAds.setAdFree, all from unified_ads 1.1.0). No adapter code changes.
• Docs (Android, verified against Start.io's current integration guide and the 5.4.0 AAR): the required app-manifest removal of the SDK's auto-init provider StartAppInitProvider ("Code Initialization" path — the adapter inits in code), the COPPA step that removes the merged ACCESS_WIFI_STATE permission via tools:node, and the optional com.startapp.sdk.CONSENT_ENABLED meta-data are now documented (doc/setup/startapp.md, README); the example app declares the required removal. Library-level tools:node="remove" is not honored by the manifest merger (verified with AGP 9.0.1), which is why the step belongs in the app manifest. Also corrected: SDK 5.4.0 reads only APPLICATION_ID, CHILD_DIRECTED, MIXED_AUDIENCE and CONSENT_ENABLED — the SPLASH_ENABLED / RETURN_ADS_ENABLED manifest toggles in Start.io's docs are not read by this version (the adapter disables both in code).
• BREAKING (iOS): CocoaPods support is removed; iOS builds use Swift Package Manager only (the podspec is deleted). Requires Flutter >= 3.44 with SPM enabled and Xcode 26.2+. The deployment target is now set on the Runner target in Xcode. See the migration guide.
• New Package.swift: the iOS SDK now comes from Start.io's official Swift package https://github.com/StartApp-SDK/StartAppSDK-SwiftPackage 4.15.0 (StartApp); version unchanged.
• Opt-in linking on iOS now works through SPM: the vendor SDK is declared only in this package's Package.swift, so FlutterGeneratedPluginSwiftPackage resolves it only when the app depends on this package (checked against Package.resolved in CI).
• Pigeon bindings regenerated with pigeon ^29.0.8.
• iOS: the per-format value is now sent as the ad tag (STAAdPreferences.adTag) for interstitial and rewarded ads, as on Android.
• iOS: STAError codes are mapped (no internet → networkError, invalid params → invalidConfig, already displayed → alreadyShowing, expired / not ready → notReady, …) instead of reporting every load failure as noFill.
• Docs: Start.io's SKAdNetwork ID 5l3tpt7t6e.skadnetwork (now enforced by tool/verify_ios_plist.dart); minimums Android 23 / iOS 11.
• README: package-specific.
• No Dart API changes.

1.0.0

Initial release: the Start.io (formerly StartApp) adapter for unified_ads.

• Banner, interstitial and rewarded ads behind the unified AdNetworkAdapter contract (Pigeon + Kotlin + Swift).
• Pinned SDKs: Android com.startapp:inapp-sdk 5.4.0; iOS StartAppSDK 4.15.0 (CocoaPods).
• Adding this package links only this network's SDK. Apps without it never pull it in, which CI verifies.
• Needs only the App ID. Ad-unit IDs are optional ad tags (requiresAdUnitId is false).
• Splash and return ads are disabled by the adapter.
• Every native error maps to an AdError with the SDK's own code in nativeCode.

Known limitations:

• COPPA is manifest-only on Android, and there is no documented iOS COPPA API.
• iOS sources compile only in CI (flutter build ios --no-codesign) and have not yet run on a device.
