SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Flutter plugins enable apps to access native platform APIs, allowing cross-platform Flutter apps to use platform-specific features.

Core Features & Use Cases

Federated plugin architecture with app-facing interfaces, platform interfaces, and platform implementations to keep code modular and maintainable.
Workflow templates for creating, implementing Android and Windows code paths, and adding support for new platforms to existing plugins.
Use Case: Create a plugin that exposes a native capability (e.g., sensors, file access) to Flutter across Android, Windows, and future platforms.

Quick Start

Scaffold a new plugin with the Flutter templates and implement platform code following the guide.

FAQPage Schema

How do I build a Flutter plugin for Android and Windows native APIs?▼

To build a Flutter plugin, use federated plugin architecture to separate app-facing interfaces from platform interfaces and implementations, ensuring modular cross-platform native API integration. This enforces v2 embedding compliance for Android and Windows code paths.

What is federated plugin architecture in Flutter and when do I need it?▼

Federated plugin architecture is a structure separating app-facing interfaces, platform interfaces, and platform implementations. You need it to keep Flutter plugin code modular and maintainable when expanding native feature support across multiple platforms.

Can I add support for a new platform to an existing Flutter plugin?▼

Yes, you can add support for a new platform to an existing Flutter plugin by implementing a new platform interface alongside existing ones. This workflow expands native capabilities without altering the app-facing interface.

Why does my Flutter Android plugin fail with v2 embedding compliance errors?▼

Flutter Android plugin v2 embedding compliance errors occur when platform implementations do not follow the modern embedding structure. Enforcing v2 embedding ensures plugins bridge correctly with native Android APIs without deprecated v1 failures.

What's the best way to expose native device sensors to a Flutter app?▼

The best way to expose native device sensors to a Flutter app is creating a federated plugin. This bridges Flutter with platform-specific sensor APIs across Android and Windows while maintaining a unified Dart interface.

Do I need Dart FFI to access native file access features in a Flutter plugin?▼

Dart FFI enables direct interop with native code, but accessing native file access features in a Flutter plugin typically uses platform channels and federated interfaces to bridge Dart with Android and Windows APIs.
