4.6.230 Jul 2026Release notes
Open source →- Fixed: Windows build failure
Cannot extract through symlink ... .plugin_symlinks(#165). The prebuilt FFmpeg archive was unpacked into the plugin's own source directory. For a package resolved from the pub cache that directory is reached through a symlink, and the extractor refuses to write through it. The archive now unpacks into the application's build directory instead. - The same change stops the plugin writing ~19 MB of native libraries into the shared pub cache on every platform.
flutter cleannever removed those; to reclaim the space delete<pub-cache>/hosted/pub.dev/<package>-<version>/{linux,windows}/ffmpeg-kitor rundart pub cache repair. The archive is now fetched once per build configuration rather than once per machine.
- Fixed: Windows build failure

4.6.130 Jul 2026Release notes
Open source →- Fixed:
FFmpegKitConfig.getPlatform()returnedwindowson Linux. The Linux native layer was reporting the wrong platform name, so any code branching on it took the Windows path. It now returnslinux. The prebuilt libraries attached to the8.1.2-<variant>release have been rebuilt with the fix; nothing else changed.
- Fixed:
-
4.6.029 Jul 2026Release notes
Open source →- Linux support (x86_64).
flutter run -d linuxandflutter build linuxnow work. Prebuilt FFmpeg 8.1.2 libraries for thefull-gplvariant are downloaded at build time, the same way the Windows bundle already worked; setFFMPEGKIT_LOCAL_DIR(env or CMake cache variable) to build against a self-built bundle instead. - Linux builds additionally require
libjson-glib-dev(runtime:libjson-glib) alongside Flutter's standard Linux prerequisites. It ships with GNOME, so most desktops already have the runtime.
- Linux support (x86_64).

4.5.324 Jul 2026Release notes
Open source →- Fixed: log/statistics/complete callbacks silently dropped in apps with a second
FlutterEngine(e.g. a Firebase Messaging background isolate), a 4.4.1+ regression (#163). FFmpegKit's global native callbacks are now registered once and dispatched to every attached engine that is actually listening, instead of being captured by whichever engine attached last. Background-isolate execution (#155) keeps working.
- Fixed: log/statistics/complete callbacks silently dropped in apps with a second

4.5.222 Jul 2026Release notes
Open source →- Fixed: App Store rejection
Invalid architecture ... arm64e slice with the ios 18.5 SDK(#164). The iOS device slices of the bundled FFmpeg XCFrameworks are now arm64 only, for both Swift Package Manager (regenerated binary targets + checksums) and CocoaPods (setup script). arm64e was never used by App Store apps, so nothing is lost.
- Fixed: App Store rejection
-
4.5.116 Jul 2026Release notes
Open source →- Fixed the iOS/macOS build error
'ffmpegkit/FFmpegKitConfig.h' file not found(#88). The framework setup scripts now download and install atomically, verify the archive, and never leave an emptyFrameworks/directory behind after a failed download; the podspec re-runs setup until the frameworks are actually present. On restricted networks, pointFFMPEG_KIT_IOS_URL/FFMPEG_KIT_MACOS_URLat a mirror of the release zip. - Docs: made the FFmpeg badge a link and tidied the README badges.
- Fixed the iOS/macOS build error
-
4.5.016 Jul 2026Release notes
Open source →- Swift Package Manager support (iOS & macOS): the plugin now integrates via Flutter's SPM support (
flutter config --enable-swift-package-manager; enabled by default from Flutter 3.44) as well as CocoaPods. Native FFmpeg frameworks are consumed as prebuilt, checksum-pinned XCFrameworks with a native arm64 iOS-simulator slice, downloaded from the GitHub release. - iOS/macOS plugin sources moved to the Flutter SPM plugin layout; CocoaPods integration is unchanged (and still supported).
- Example app now includes runtime integration tests (
example/integration_test/).
- Swift Package Manager support (iOS & macOS): the plugin now integrates via Flutter's SPM support (

4.4.213 Jul 2026Release notes
Open source →- Fixes the native binary wiring for the CVE-2026-8461 (MagicYUV / "PixelSmash") security patch: Android now pulls
com.antonkarpenko:ffmpeg-kit-*:2.2.1and iOS/macOS fetch the FFmpeg 8.1.2 frameworks (the 8.1.2 rebuild was previously only wired for Windows). Please upgrade from any earlier version.

4.4.113 Jul 2026Release notes
Open source →- Security (CVE-2026-8461): updated FFmpeg to v8.1.2 (arthenica
n8.1.2) to fix a heap out-of-bounds write in the MagicYUV decoder ("PixelSmash", CVSS 8.8). All platforms (Android/iOS/macOS/Windows) rebuilt against FFmpeg 8.1.2; no API changes.

4.4.011 Jul 2026Release notes
Open source →- Updated FFmpeg to v8.1.1 (arthenica
n8.1.1), up from 8.0.0. - iOS/macOS
.xcframeworks, the Android Maven library (com.antonkarpenko:ffmpeg-kit-*), and the Windows binaries are now built against FFmpeg 8.1.1.

4.3.228 Jun 2026Release notes
Open source →- Android: broadened the bundled ProGuard/R8 consumer rules to keep all
com.antonkarpenko.ffmpegkit.**classes (plus-dontwarn), not just the JNI entry points. Fully prevents R8 from stripping FFmpegKit in release builds — fixes the release-only white screen /channel-error(FFmpegKit failing to initialise, which cascades into errors likeshared_preferencesgetAll). Closes #158.
- Android: broadened the bundled ProGuard/R8 consumer rules to keep all
-
4.3.128 Jun 2026Release notes
Open source →- Android: ship ProGuard/R8 consumer rules (
consumer-rules.pro, applied automatically viaconsumerProguardFiles) that keep the FFmpegKit JNI bindings —FFmpegKitConfignative/callback methods andAbiDetect. Prevents release-mode crashes such asBad JNI version returned from JNI_OnLoadwithout requiring any ProGuard rules in your app. Thanks @niclasEX (#133).

4.3.028 Jun 2026Release notes
Open source →- Fixed iOS Simulator on Apple Silicon (
arm64) support — required for Xcode 26 / iOS 26+ simulators. Builds previously failed with "The following target(s) do not support arm64 architecture, which is a requirement for Apple Silicon iOS 26+ simulators". - The downloaded iOS
.frameworkbundles are now converted to.xcframeworks at build time (scripts/setup_ios.sh), exposing a nativeios-arm64_x86_64-simulatorslice alongside theios-arm64_arm64edevice slice. The simulatorarm64slice is produced by retagging the devicearm64slice's Mach-O build-version platform toiOS-Simulatorviavtool. - The iOS podspec now vendors
.xcframeworks and no longer excludesarm64for the simulator (EXCLUDED_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*]is nowi386only). - If you previously added
config.build_settings["EXCLUDED_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*]"] = "arm64"to your app'sios/Podfilepost_installhook as a workaround, remove it — it now prevents the simulatorarm64slice from linking.

4.2.228 Jun 2026Release notes
Open source →- Fixed the Windows release build:
windows/ffmpeg_kit_flutter_plugin_c_api.cppincluded the generated public header from the wrong package directory (ffmpeg_kit_flutter_new_fullinstead offfmpeg_kit_flutter_new), so building the published package on Windows failed to find the header. Thanks @Nicoeevee (#159).

4.2.102 Jun 2026Release notes
Open source →- Fixed iOS/macOS
pod installfailure introduced in 4.2.0: the setup scripts (scripts/setup_ios.sh,scripts/setup_macos.sh,scripts/setup_android.sh) were published with Windows CRLF line endings, causing/bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory. Scripts are now forced to LF via.gitattributesso the published package is always packaged with Unix line endings (fixes #153).
- Fixed iOS/macOS

4.2.001 Jun 2026Release notes
Open source →- Added Windows support (x86_64) with a genuine
full-gplFFmpeg 8.0 build (all 27 external libraries, GPL components enabled). - Native libraries are downloaded from the
8.0.0-full-gplrelease; for local development pointFFMPEGKIT_LOCAL_DIR(CMake cache var or environment) at a locally built bundle. - The bundled MinGW DLLs are rebased/ASLR-adjusted at build time and the full runtime dependency closure (gnutls, gmp, nettle, libxml2, lame, …) is shipped so the plugin loads standalone.
- Added Windows support (x86_64) with a genuine
