0.0.312 Apr 2026Release notes
Open source →- Fix:
init()now always regenerates the Keystore key so changes togracePeriodSecondstake effect immediately without requiring a reinstall. - Fix: Grace period countdown is now driven by
isWithinGracePeriod()polled every second — locks exactly when the Keystore expires, not based on a drifting Dart timer. - Fix:
gracePeriodActive(device-unlock grace) now shows the countdown timer in the example app. - Example: Added circular countdown UI showing remaining grace window in seconds, turns orange at 2 seconds remaining.
- Example: Grace period timer auto-locks the UI when expired — no automatic re-prompt.

authentication,biometrics,security,local-auth. - Raised minimum Dart SDK constraint to
>=3.9.0to align withflutter_lints ^6.0.0. - Upgraded
flutter_lintsto^6.0.0— zero lint issues. - Fix:
LocalAuthExceptioncodes now map to correctAuthStatusinstead of always returningAuthStatus.error.noCredentialsSet,noBiometricsEnrolled,noBiometricHardware→AuthStatus.notAvailable.userCanceled,timeout,systemCanceled,userRequestedFallback→AuthStatus.failed.- All other codes (lockout, device error, etc.) remain
AuthStatus.error.
