path_provider_watchos

The watchOS implementation of path_provider.

Scaffolded by flutter-watchos plugin port from path_provider_foundation, then finished by hand.

Usage

This is a federated plugin implementation. Apps that already depend on path_provider and target watchOS only need to add this package alongside it:

dependencies:
  path_provider: ^2.1.6
  path_provider_watchos: ^0.1.0

The plugin registers automatically via Flutter's federated registry — no explicit imports required from app code.

Status
