yust_open_file_x 4.7.1

A Univelop fork of open_filex that adds iOS 26 default-app support (useIosDefaultApp flag). Opens files via the native app on iOS/Android/desktop/web.

yust_open_file_x

A plug-in that can call native APP to open files with string result in flutter, support iOS(DocumentInteraction) / android(intent) / PC(ffi) / web(dart:html).

Notice

This package is a Univelop fork of open_filex (which itself forks open_file). It exists to add support that upstream does not yet ship:

• useIosDefaultApp flag — on iOS 26+, routes opens through UIApplication.openURL: so the user's chosen default app handles the file (falling back to the classic UIDocumentInteractionController on older iOS or if the system open fails).

We publish this fork so it can be used as a normal pub.dev dependency (git dependencies are not allowed in published packages). It is intended primarily for internal Univelop use — external users are generally better served by upstream open_filex.

Upstream fixes inherited from open_filex:

• Remove REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES permission in Android to comply with Google Play publish policies
• Update ffi to 2.0.1+
• Support for granular media permissions in Android 13
• Fix plugin lifecycle onDetachedFromActivity in Android
• Fix viewController is not recognized in iOS
• Fix parse args not filtering commands properly
• Replace JCenter with MavenCentral
• Compatibility with Gradle 8+
• iOS embedded flutter compatibility

For the full change history, see CHANGELOG.

Usage

Add yust_open_file_x as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  yust_open_file_x: ^lastVersion

Example

import 'package:yust_open_file_x/yust_open_file_x.dart';

OpenFilex.open("/sdcard/example.txt");

// iOS 26+ — respect the user's default app for this file type:
OpenFilex.open("/path/to/file.pdf", useIosDefaultApp: true);
