• Removes incorrect SMS instructions from README.

6.2.3

• Updates minimum required plugin_platform_interface version to 2.1.7.

6.2.2

• Adds supportsLaunchMode for checking whether the current platform supports a given launch mode, to allow clients that will only work with specific modes to avoid fallback to a different mode.

• Updates the documention for launchUrl to clarify that clients should not rely on any specific behavior of the platformDefault launch mode. Changes to the handling of platformDefault, such as Android's recent change from inAppWebView to the new inAppBrowserView, are not considered breaking.
