Breaking v3 update framework for stores, Android markets, direct packages, and desktop installers.

3.1.0 - 2026-09-08 #

  • Fix cross-isolate Unix download ownership while retaining legacy cross-process locking.
  • Preserve another owner's partial state on pre-cancellation; stop every action before dispatch when canceled.
  • Require exact size and SHA-256 for every network artifact, including typed desktop actions; reject credential-bearing or hostless artifact URLs.
  • Align default download capabilities and selector overrides with the execution platform.
  • Add opt-in latestExecutable selection without bypassing required/minimum-supported releases; retain latestRelease by default.
  • Freeze parsed and prepared action snapshots while preserving public const constructors.
  • Extract generic artifact metadata, checkpoint storage and file replacement without changing checkpoint schema.
  • Fix Android foreground FileProvider directory and macOS sandbox network entitlements; align example macOS deployment target to 10.15.
  • Extend minimum-SDK Android and desktop Release gates and add manually triggered device verification.

3.0.0 - 2026-07-15 #

  • Breaking: Redesign the public API around AppUpdater, UpdateSource, UpdateCandidate, UpdatePolicy, and UpdateAction.
  • Breaking: Raise the minimum supported Flutter SDK to 3.29.0.
  • Breaking: Remove unfinished platform surfaces and require strict architecture matching for architecture-specific releases.
  • Breaking: Require positive exact sizes and SHA-256 digests for remote packages and installers; forbid remote local-path installation actions.
  • Breaking / Security: Require Android durable downloads to start from a credential-free stable entry URL without userinfo, query, or fragment; short-lived signed URLs are accepted only as in-memory HTTPS redirect targets and are never persisted.
  • Breaking / Storage: Reset pre-release single-root background tasks and artifacts while separating durable state into noBackupFilesDir and FileProvider-backed APK data into filesDir.
  • Feature: Add package install and download-then-install actions for Android self-hosted APK flows.
  • Feature: Add AppUpdater.manifest, checkAndPrepare, and performRecommended as the default UI-free integration flow.
  • Feature: Add manifest v3 parsing, application identity binding, validation, ordered release selection, host distribution policy, and executor capability filtering.
  • Feature: Add official store actions for App Store, Mac App Store, and Google Play URLs.
  • Feature: Add Chinese Android market descriptors and Android market opening support.
  • Security: Require trusted HTTPS transport and bounded redirects, authenticate self-hosted manifests with versioned Ed25519 envelopes, and support two-key rotation through keyId.
  • Security: Enforce strict manifest and signed-envelope allowlists, reject unknown fields, validate non-negative decimal buildNumber values, and require minSupportedVersion not to exceed its release version.
  • Security: Add native APK identity and signing-lineage verification before every Android installer handoff.
  • Feature: Add SHA-256 verified downloads with private URL-fingerprint checkpoint metadata and cross-process writer ownership.
  • Feature: Add desktop installer actions for verified Windows and macOS installers.
  • Feature: Add an advanced Android-only API for one persistent, user-visible APK download with durable status, progress observation, explicit resume, cancel, and removal.
  • Reliability: Add native checkpoint recovery, strict HTTP Range and strong-validator handling, byte/disk limits, bounded retries, and process-start reconciliation.
  • Android: Use a host-opted-in visible foreground service on API 21-33 and user-initiated data transfer jobs on API 34+, with visible retry and cancel actions.
  • Example: Add a network-free simulator with ordered actions, cancellation, failure recovery, and a separately enabled production integration using the signed-manifest path.
  • Documentation: Add complete public Dartdoc, a v2-to-v3 migration guide, and a remote update security model.
  • Safety: Make Android package-install permission opt-in and exclude machine-local platform configuration from published archives.
  • Release: Unify CI and publishing behind one full quality gate covering minimum/stable Flutter, root/example checks, coverage, docs, clean archive validation, native tests, and platform builds.
  • Release: Add tag/version/CHANGELOG/main-ancestry release provenance checks, immutable workflow action pins, download checksums, Dependabot coverage, and pub.flutter-io.cn OIDC publishing.
  • Tooling: Repair the pure-Dart manifest CLI so verify uses the production parser and remote-action policy, and add a Flutter-engine-free executable smoke gate.

2.1.0 #

  • Feature: Added configurable retry strategy for downloads with exponential backoff.
  • Feature: Added comprehensive logging system with UpdateLogger.
  • Improvement: Enhanced HTTP client with better error handling and retry logic.

  • Test: Added unit coverage for UpdateChecker, UpdateInfo, RetryStrategy, and VersionComparator.
  • Improvement: Enhanced Android plugin implementation.
  • Documentation: Updated README with retry strategy and logging configuration examples.

2.0.0 #

  • Breaking: Complete rebuild of the plugin architecture.
  • Feature: Added OpenHarmony platform support.
  • Feature: Zero third-party dependencies using Flutter native HTTP only.
  • Feature: Fully customizable update dialogs and API response formats.
  • Feature: Support for forced and optional updates with download progress.
  • Improvement: Modular architecture with clear separation of concerns.
  • Improvement: Enhanced example app with better demonstration of features.
  • Documentation: Comprehensive README with usage examples and customization guide.
