A Flutter plugin to restart or relaunch Flutter apps with platform-specific native behavior.

More...

1.8.3 #

  • Made Restart.restartApp(...) the single Dart restart entry point
  • Changed Restart.restartApp(...) to return RestartResult, giving one call with success, resolved mode, code, and message
  • Kept all restart customization on Restart.restartApp(...): mode, webOrigin, forceKill, notificationTitle, and notificationBody
  • Refined the example so main.dart shows the restart calls directly, while package survival checks live in focused helper files
  • Updated README and example docs so the quick start is platform-neutral and iOS details stay in the iOS section

1.8.2 #

  • Tightened iOS default behavior: platformDefault now fails cleanly when engine restart is not configured instead of quietly using notification + exit(0)
  • Kept notification restart as an explicit RestartMode.notificationFallback path for apps that accept the permission prompt, exit, and user-tap tradeoff
  • Removed the internal implicit-fallback flag from the Dart API and iOS platform-channel payload
  • Expanded the example with package checks that exercise common plugin paths after restart
  • Clarified README language around iOS engine restart versus unsupported full process restart

1.8.1 #

  • Fixed mode handling so unsupported restart modes fail with a clear platform error instead of silently falling back
  • Returned the resolved restart mode from Android, web, Linux, macOS, and Windows
  • Made Android RestartMode.process use the full forceKill path automatically
  • Updated the example Android Gradle project for current Java and Flutter toolchains
  • Moved the iOS beforeRestart hook before replacement engine creation so apps can clean up native resources first

1.8.0 #

  • Added structured restart types with RestartResult, RestartMode, and Restart.restartCapability()
  • Added opt-in iOS Flutter engine restart: fresh FlutterEngine, Dart entrypoint rerun, host plugin registration, root FlutterViewController replacement, and old engine teardown
  • Kept the existing iOS notification + exit(0) behavior as an explicit legacy fallback
  • Documented the important iOS boundary: Flutter engine restart is supported, automatic full process restart is not available through public iOS APIs

1.7.3 #

  • Fixed Xcode build failure caused by SPM target path resolving outside the package root (#52)

1.7.2 #

  • Fixed Swift Package Manager file locations for iOS and macOS

1.7.1 #

  • Added Swift Package Manager support for iOS and macOS

1.7.0 #

  • Added native Linux support. Restarts via execv, replacing the current process in-place
  • Added native Windows support. Launches a new instance via CreateProcess and exits
  • Added Android TV and Fire TV support via leanback launcher fallback
  • restartApp() now returns false on native errors instead of throwing PlatformException
  • Added CI with code quality checks, formatting, and native linting (Kotlin, Swift, C++)
  • Added unit tests

1.6.0 #

  • Added native macOS support via a Swift plugin. Restarts the app by launching a new instance using NSWorkspace and terminating the current process

1.5.2 #

  • Fixed Android FlutterJNI detached error: all destructive restart operations are now deferred via a short delay so the platform channel result can be delivered to the Dart side before the Flutter engine is torn down
  • Lowered minimum Dart SDK requirement from 3.5.1 to 3.4.0 (Flutter 3.22+)
  • Improved README: corrected iOS provisioning profile guidance, removed inaccurate CFBundleURLTypes instructions, and added documentation for calling from background isolates

1.5.1 #

  • Added forceKill option for Android. Fully terminates the process after restart for a clean cold start
  • Fixed iOS restart not working due to incorrect AppDelegate cast
  • Implemented proper iOS restart using local notifications with permission handling
  • Breaking (iOS): Returns a PlatformException with code NOTIFICATION_DENIED if notification permission is denied. Handle this in your code
  • Removed unused plugin_platform_interface dependency
  • Fixed iOS podspec placeholder metadata
  • Fixed nested MaterialApp in example app
  • Improved web error handling for unrecognized method calls
  • Cleaned up unused imports

1.3.3 #

  • Fixed web platform crash caused by argument type mismatch (#35, #51)
  • Fixed web hash URL strategy not working (#14)
  • Fixed Android crash when launch intent is unavailable (#50)
  • Fixed iOS restartApp() always returning false (#48)

1.3.2 #

  • Updated web package to the stable version

1.3.1 #

  • Updated JVM and Kotlin versions
  • Upgraded Flutter web dependency to more compatible version
  • Resolved dependency conflicts with firebase packages and restart_app
