The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[0.0.6] - 2026-03-05

Added

  • Get status on-demand: getConnectivityStatus to get current connectivity once without subscribing to the stream (use when you need a single check, e.g. on button tap, instead of listening)

[0.0.5] - 2026-03-04

Added

  • Support details for Swift Package Manager in documentation

Changed

  • Enhanced README for clarity
  • Updated podspec and pubspec.lock for dependency versions

[0.0.4] - 2026-01-27

Added

  • Swift Package Manager (SPM) support: Added Package.swift for iOS to support Swift Package Manager alongside CocoaPods
  • Full SPM compatibility while maintaining CocoaPods backward compatibility

Changed

  • Updated iOS plugin structure to support both CocoaPods and Swift Package Manager
  • Podspec updated to point to new SPM-compatible source file locations

[0.0.3] - 2026-01-27

[0.0.2] - 2026-01-27

Changed

  • SDK compatibility: Relaxed Dart SDK constraint from ^3.10.7 to ">=3.0.0 <4.0.0" for broader compatibility with Flutter projects

Fixed

  • Code formatting improvements in Android plugin implementation

[0.0.1] - 2026-01-27

Added

  • Initial release of connectivity_validator plugin
  • Validated connectivity checking: Detects real internet access, not just network connection
  • Captive portal detection: Identifies when connected to WiFi but behind a captive portal
  • Real-time updates: Stream-based API (onConnectivityChanged) for continuous connectivity monitoring
  • Android implementation:
    • Uses ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback for real-time network monitoring
    • Checks NET_CAPABILITY_INTERNET and NET_CAPABILITY_VALIDATED capabilities
    • Sends initial state immediately when stream is listened to
    • Optimized to only emit updates when connectivity state actually changes
  • iOS implementation:
    • Uses NWPathMonitor for network path monitoring
    • Checks .satisfied status to detect validated connectivity
    • Handles network state changes on background queue
    • Sends updates to Flutter on main thread
  • Example app:
    • Complete working example demonstrating plugin usage
    • GetX-based state management example with NetworkStatusController
    • Visual indicators (icons and colors) for connectivity status
    • Real-time UI updates using reactive state management
  • Comprehensive documentation:
    • Detailed README with installation instructions
    • Multiple state management examples (StreamBuilder, GetX, Provider, Riverpod, BLoC, ValueNotifier)
    • API reference documentation
    • Platform-specific implementation details
    • Best practices and troubleshooting guide

Technical Details

  • Channel name: connectivity_validator/status (consistent across all platforms)
  • Zero dependencies: Plugin itself has no external dependencies
  • Framework-agnostic: Works with any state management solution
  • Optimized: Prevents duplicate emissions by tracking last state
  • Thread-safe: Properly handles main thread requirements for Flutter communication

Platform Support

  • ✅ Android (API 24+)
  • ✅ iOS (iOS 12.0+)
