What's Changed

• fix(ios): drive picture-in-picture from the platform view's own AVPlayerLayer by @AnasQasem in #133

New Contributors

• @AnasQasem made their first contribution in #133

Full Changelog: 1.3.5...1.4.0

• Fixed Android hardware decoder failure by adding software decoder fallback (thanks @ZhaosongRen)
• Fixed Android play/pause notification state not syncing from native player changes (thanks @mmeshrif)
• Fixed NullPointerException in _BetterPlayerVideoFitWidgetState.dispose and unassigned ClearKey DrmSessionManager on Android (thanks @vivek995378)
• Fixed Simplified Chinese translations (thanks @zs)

• Fixed iOS build error: duplicate BetterPlayerPlugin interface definition caused by CocoaPods exposing ObjC header alongside Swift-generated header; excluded BetterPlayerPlugin.h/m from podspec source files
• Fixed iOS Profile build configuration missing Profile.xcconfig, causing CocoaPods base config conflict
• Fixed Android example build.gradle.kts missing org.jetbrains.kotlin.android plugin, causing unresolved kotlin { compilerOptions } block

• Fixed iOS podspec version mismatch (was stuck at 1.3.0), now synced with pubspec.yaml
• Fixed initial track setup not awaiting setTrack, which could race with data source setup

• Fixed iOS HLS playback with useCache: true for modern fMP4/CMAF streams (#EXT-X-MAP, .m4s, external audio renditions) by playing HLS directly through AVURLAsset instead of the localhost reverse proxy
• Fixed iOS Swift compile errors: aligned Cache dependency to 6.x for both CocoaPods and SPM (Cache 7.x is not published on CocoaPods) and restored the AVURLAssetHTTPHeaderFieldsKey string literal
• Fixed player layout not refreshing after manual HLS/DASH quality track switch: setTrack now updates the reported video size and emits a changedTrack controller event
• Fixed duplicate @interface BetterPlayerPlugin definition in the iOS plugin header
• Hardened iOS HLS header conversion with typed String/NSNumber handling
• Removed unused HLSCachingReverseProxyServer, GCDWebServer and PINCache dependencies from the iOS podspec
• Optimized iOS BoxFit handling with scheduled application
• CacheManager.setup() is now a deprecated no-op on iOS (no HLS proxy setup needed)

• Updated iOS dependencies and cleaned up stale SPM Package.resolved pins
• Minor cleanup in better_player_with_controls.dart

• Added iOS Swift Package Manager (SPM) support
• Added Package.swift to support native SPM integration
• Migrated iOS plugin source files from Classes/ to better_player_plus/Sources/better_player_plus/ for SPM compatibility
