open_mail_launcher 0.2.0

open_mail_launcher: ^0.2.0 copied to clipboard

Correctness, currency, and pub-score release. No public Dart API signatures change, but two iOS picker behaviors observably change — see Changed below.

Added #

• iOS: Synthesized "Default Mail App" entry at the head of getMailApps() results. Its id is mailto: and isDefault is true; opening it routes through the user's iOS-level default mail handler (Settings > Default Apps > Mail). Consumers can filter for isDefault: true to respect the user's choice without showing a picker.
• iOS: First-class compose-URL builder for Yahoo Mail (ymail://mail/compose?to=…&cc=…&bcc=…&subject=…&body=…).
• Models: ==, hashCode, and @immutable on EmailContent, MailApp, and OpenMailAppResult.
• Lints: Stricter analysis — strict-casts, strict-inference, strict-raw-types, plus avoid_dynamic_calls, unawaited_futures, prefer_const_*, require_trailing_commas, prefer_final_locals, cancel_subscriptions.
• CI: Matrix of three jobs — Dart (format, analyze, test, pana informational), Android (example APK + plugin Kotlin tests via ./gradlew open_mail_launcher:testDebugUnitTest), iOS (pod lib lint + example simulator build).
• Repo hygiene: .github/dependabot.yml, structured issue forms (bug + feature), and a PR template.
• AI assistant docs: CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md describing the federated-plugin layout, method-channel envelope quirks, and iOS scheme list.

Changed #

• Flutter SDK floor: >=3.3.0 → >=3.32.0. The previous floor was below the actual transitive resolution floor (>=3.18.0 per pubspec.lock), so users on 3.3 could never install. 3.32 also lets the plugin drop iOS 12 cleanly.
• iOS deployment target: 12.0 → 13.0 in podspec, Package.swift, and the example's Runner.xcodeproj. Flutter dropped iOS 12 long ago; the previous declaration was advisory at best.
• Android tooling: plugin AGP 8.9.0 → 8.11.1; example AGP 8.7.3 → 8.11.1, Kotlin 2.1.0 → 2.2.20, and Gradle 8.12 → 8.14. Stays on the 8.x line so consumers avoid AGP 9 churn.
• Android Kotlin integration: migrated plugin and example away from explicitly applying the Kotlin Gradle Plugin where Flutter Built-in Kotlin supplies it.
• Method-channel envelope (internal): openSpecificMailApp now sends {'appId': …, 'emailContent': {…}?} instead of flattening appId into the email-content map. Removes a silent-shadowing risk if EmailContent ever gained an appId field. Public Dart API is unchanged.
• README iOS setup: Replaced the 5-scheme placeholder with the full 16-scheme list the plugin actually probes plus a callout that omitted schemes silently fail detection in release builds.
• iOS picker — observable behavior change: When multiple mail apps are detected, the picker now leads with a "Default Mail App" entry that routes via the user's chosen mailto handler. Previously the hardcoded "Mail" entry (id mailto:) sat at the top with isDefault: true regardless of what the user had actually set.
• iOS Apple Mail entry — observable behavior change: Apple Mail now appears only when canOpenURL("message://") succeeds (i.e., Mail.app is actually installed). Its id is message:// (was mailto:) and isDefault is false (was true).
• Android attachment intent: MIME */* → message/rfc822 and discovery now resolves the actual attachment intent. The documented attachment contract is Android content:// URIs.

Fixed #

• iOS: getMailApps() no longer hardcodes Apple Mail as always present. Since iOS 10 users can delete Mail.app; previously the plugin returned a phantom Mail entry on those devices, and isMailAppAvailable() would lie. (C-1)
• iOS: The Apple Mail entry's id no longer conflates "Apple Mail.app" with "the user's chosen default mailto handler". Picker selection now reliably opens the named app. (C-2)
• Android: content:// attachment URIs now carry FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION plus ClipData, so receiving mail apps can actually read them instead of hitting SecurityException. (C-13)

Removed #

• iOS scheme list: Newton (newton://, mail service shut down July 2024), Twobird (twobird://, shut down 2022 by Ginger Labs), Dispatch (x-dispatch://, no App Store updates since ~2016), and TypeApp (typeapp://, redundant alias of BlueMail with the same bundle ID). Their entries were also removed from the example app's LSApplicationQueriesSchemes and the README setup snippet.
• Legacy iOS trees: ios/Classes/, ios/Resources/, and ios/Assets/.gitkeep. These were byte-identical duplicates of files in the canonical SPM tree (ios/open_mail_launcher/Sources/…) and were unreferenced by the podspec or Package.swift.

Maintenance #

• Replaced stale Android Kotlin unit test (tested a getPlatformVersion method that doesn't exist) with a dispatcher-correctness test.
• Replaced stale example widget test (searched for a "Running on:" widget that doesn't exist) with HomePage smoke tests.
• Removed unused import MessageUI from the iOS plugin.
• Added FlutterFramework SPM dependency to Package.swift for Flutter 3.44+ SPM plugin readiness.
• Narrowed the Android <queries> block: removed the unused ACTION_SEND intent, narrowed SEND_MULTIPLE MIME from */* to message/rfc822 to match what the plugin actually sends.

Maintenance #

• Upgraded flutter_lints to 6.0.0
• Fixed lints related to unused parameters
