    This is a new package replacing mobile_icon_switcher. Published as basic_icon_switcher.

    New Features

    • Web support: Dynamically change the browser tab favicon via webFaviconUrl parameter
    • macOS support: Change the dock icon at runtime via desktopIconAsset parameter
    • Windows support: Change the window and taskbar icon at runtime
    • Linux support: Change the window decoration icon at runtime
    • getCurrentIcon(): Get the name of the currently active alternate icon (iOS/Android)
    • isSupported getter: Check if icon switching is available on the current platform
    • Auto-detect default component on Android: No more setDefaultComponent() required

    Improvements

    • Fixed Android bug: disableComponents() now only disables activity-aliases, not all activities
    • Fixed Android bug: Added missing return after error response (execution no longer falls through)
    • Android: Uses GET_DISABLED_COMPONENTS flag to properly enumerate all activity-aliases
    • Platform detection: Uses kIsWeb + defaultTargetPlatform instead of dart:io (safe on web)
    • Modern SDK constraints: Dart >=3.4.0 <4.0.0, Flutter >=3.22.0
    • Modern Android build: compileSdk 34, minSdk 21, AGP 8.1.0, mavenCentral (jcenter removed)
    • iOS deployment target: Bumped to 12.0
    • Web-compatible: Uses package:web instead of deprecated dart:html
    • Platform interface pattern: Proper plugin_platform_interface for testability

    Breaking Changes

    • Package renamed from mobile_icon_switcher to basic_icon_switcher
    • Class renamed from MobileIconSwitcher to IconSwitcher
    • changeIcon() now uses named parameters
    • setDefaultComponent() removed (auto-detected)
    • platformVersion removed
    • Method channel renamed from app_icon_switcher to basic_icon_switcher
