We're excited to announce the release of Awesome Notifications Version 0.10.0. This update encompasses a range of enhancements designed to improve the functionality and stability of your notification experiences on both Android and iOS platforms, as well as ensuring full compatibility with the latest Flutter developments.

Key Enhancements:

Extended Support for Flutter 3.24

  • Updated to Flutter 3.24: The entire Awesome Notifications framework, including the example app, has been updated to fully support Flutter 3.24. This includes adapting to new Gradle Java standards and leveraging the latest features and optimizations provided by Flutter.

Android Platform Enhancements

  • Android 14 and AGP 8 Support: Upgraded all dependencies and the example app for full compatibility with Android 14 and Android Gradle Plugin 8, utilizing the latest Android features and development tools.
  • Firebase Dependencies Updated: Updated all Firebase dependencies to support Firebase core 3.0.0, ensuring our framework integrates seamlessly with the latest Firebase improvements.
  • MediaPlayer Album Art Resolution Fix: Addressed an issue where album art was displaying at reduced resolution on Android 14 devices. Album artwork now renders clearly and crisply, improving the visual quality of the media player.

iOS Platform Enhancements

  • Resilience Against Misconfigured Notification Service Extensions: Made adjustments to enhance resilience against missing registered events caused by misconfigured Notification Service Extension targets. In such cases, events will be registered using the current date instead, avoiding crashes.

Cross-Platform Improvements

  • Interval Changes to Duration Type: Changed interval values from integers (seconds) to Duration type, enhancing readability and understanding of time intervals within code.

Deprecated Features

  • Deprecation of weekOfMonth Parameter: The weekOfMonth parameter is deprecated due to unimplemented dependencies expected in versions beyond 1.0.0. It may be reconsidered for future inclusion.

Breaking Changes

  • Minimum Android SDK Increased to 23: The minimum Android version supported is now Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), to utilize newer security and encryption features.
  • Minimum iOS Deployment Target Increased to iOS 12: The increase in iOS deployment target to iOS 12 enhances compatibility with newer iOS features and improves security and performance.
  • Manual Addition of Android Permissions Required: Developers must now manually declare necessary permissions in their AndroidManifest.xml to ensure full functionality of the notification features, in case they are needed:
    • android.permission.VIBRATE
    • android.permission.SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM
    • android.permission.USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT
    • android.permission.WAKE_LOCK
    • android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE
    • android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED

This version represents our commitment to providing a powerful, flexible notifications framework that meets the demands of modern app development. By addressing key areas of enhancement and ensuring compatibility with the latest development standards, we aim to deliver a more reliable, feature-rich package that developers can depend on for creating engaging notification experiences.

We encourage all users to update to version 0.10.0 to take full advantage of these improvements.
