motion_sensors #

Flutter plugin for accessing the Android and iOS accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer and orientation sensors. Updated version from https://github.com/zesage/motion_sensors

Getting Started #

This release targets Flutter >=3.41.0 and Dart >=3.11.0 because the iOS implementation now relies on Swift Package Manager integration generated by recent Flutter toolchains.

To use this plugin, add dchs_motion_sensors as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.

dependencies:
  motion_sensors: ^2.0.2

Import to your project.

import 'package:dchs_motion_sensors/dchs_motion_sensors.dart';

motionSensors.magnetometer.listen((MagnetometerEvent event) {
    print(event);
});

Example iOS With Swift Package Manager #

The example app under example/ can be regenerated with the current Flutter iOS template, which wires plugins through Swift Package Manager instead of CocoaPods.

From example/ run:

rm -rf ios
flutter create --platforms=ios --project-name example .
flutter build ios --simulator

After regeneration, the Podfile and Pods references disappear from the iOS host app and the Xcode project uses the local FlutterGeneratedPluginSwiftPackage package instead.

Upgrade Note #

If you are upgrading from an older release of this plugin and your iOS app or example was created from a CocoaPods-based Flutter template, regenerate the ios/ host project with a current Flutter SDK before testing or publishing the plugin update on iOS.

In practice, this means using Flutter 3.41 or newer and rerunning flutter create --platforms=ios . inside the app or example directory so the Xcode project picks up the Swift Package Manager wiring.
