• First release as device_apps_ng, an actively maintained fork of device_apps (see README to migrate: only the dependency and import change)
• Versions 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 below were made in this fork; earlier versions are from the original package

• Example: chip filters on the applications list — System and User (combinable, both = every app), Launchable, Disabled, and per-category chips with counts. Only enabling "System" refetches, other chips filter instantly

• [BREAKING CHANGE] Requires Dart 3 / Flutter 3.10+ (the previous <3.0.0 SDK constraint no longer resolved)
• [BREAKING CHANGE] New ApplicationCategory.accessibility value (Android 31+)
• Android: no more deprecated API calls (PackageInfoFlags/ResolveInfoFlags on Android 13+, getLongVersionCode, InstallSourceInfo, SigningInfo, receiver export flag on Android 13+), package attribute removed from the manifest
• Faster getInstalledApplications:
  • apps are read on several threads in parallel
  • launchable apps are resolved with 2 queries instead of 2 queries per installed app
  • icons are sent as raw bytes instead of Base64
  • new iconSize parameter to render icons at display size
• New getAppIcon() to lazily load icons, getAppDetails() (installer, permissions, signing certificates, splits, components…) and openAppInStore()
• New Application attributes: targetSdkVersion, minSdkVersion, apkSize, launchable, installTime, updateTime
• Launchable apps are visible on Android 11+ without the QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission (<queries> declared by the plugin)
• Fix enabled/disabled events being inverted
• Fix crashes: icons without an intrinsic size, package broadcasts without extras, detaching/reattaching the engine
• getApp, icons and details now run off the main thread (previously only the listing did)
• Example rewritten: lazy icons, search, sort, details screen, benchmark screen

• Uninstall an application
• Fix issue #81

• AndroidX annotations are now required as a dependency

• [BREAKING CHANGE] Following Google Play change with the QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES, by default this plugin won't request anymore this permission. If you want to keep the current behavior, you have to add the permission again to the Android Manifest (cf README).

• Fix bug #69

• Fix many regressions introduced in 2.0.0

• Null safety support

• New feature: listen to app changes (installation, uninstallation, updates…)
• New field on the Application class: whether the app is enabled or not

• Ability to open the settings screen of an app : DeviceApps.openAppSettings(packageName)
• New methods on the Application class : openApp() and openAppSettings()
• Fix for issue #61 (crash on some Android 10 devices)

• Ability to filter only launchable apps (thanks to Damodar Lohani)

• Some asserts added + a different class is used when an icon is passed

• Support for the application icon (thanks to Damodar Lohani)
• Fetching the applications list is now processed in a background thread in the Android code
