Package Info FFI #

An FFI-based version of the package_info_plus plugin.

Getting started #

flutter pub add package_info_ffi

Usage #

You can use the PackageInfo to query information about the application package.

import 'package:package_info_ffi/package_info_ffi.dart';

...

// Be sure to add this line if `PackageInfo.fromPlatform()` is called before runApp()
WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();

...

final packageInfo = PackageInfo.fromPlatform();

final appName = packageInfo.appName;
final packageName = packageInfo.packageName;
final version = packageInfo.version;
final buildNumber = packageInfo.buildNumber;

Installer Store #

The installerStore property indicates which app store installed the application. This is useful for directing users to the appropriate store page for ratings or updates.

final packageInfo = PackageInfo.fromPlatform();
final installerStore = packageInfo.installerStore;

Android

On Android, the value is the package name of the app store that installed the application, obtained via PackageManager.getInstallSourceInfo() (Android 11+) or PackageManager.getInstallerPackageName() (older versions).

Note: Some stores may not properly implement the installer package name API, which could result in null being returned even for store installations.
