geolocator_platform_interface

feat(platform-interface): distinguish an unmeasured value from a meas…

• Adds hasAccuracy, hasAltitude, hasAltitudeAccuracy, hasHeading, hasHeadingAccuracy, hasSpeed and hasSpeedAccuracy to Position, so a value the platform could not measure is distinguishable from the same value measured as 0.0. The Android platform channel already omits a key when its Location.hasX() predicate is false; Position.fromMap substituted 0.0 for the missing value, and the distinction was lost. The reported numeric values are unchanged and every field defaults to false, so existing code is unaffected. Resolves #1733 and #1525.

Maintenance, updates dependencies

• Updates dependencies to their latest versions.
• Fixes an analysis warning indicating a missing type declaration.

• Clarifies the documentation of Position.heading to explain that it carries the course over ground (direction of travel, from Location.getBearing() on Android and CLLocation.course on iOS), which is distinct from compass heading. The field keeps the heading name for backward compatibility. Resolves #1187.

• Updates documentation isMocked to bring it in line with the functionality. isMocked for iOS 15 and higher depends on the result from isSimulatedBySoftware.

• Updates dart sdk to >3.5.0

• Correctly handle integer-like numbers when decoding Position from JSON.

• Fixes several grammar mistakes in the API documentation.

• Updates the documentation of the getServiceStatusStream method as it nolonger throws a UnimplementedError on web.

• Ensures that timestamp is set to current date and time if platform implementations return a null value.

• Replaces an optional DateTime? timestamp in Position object for an NonNull DateTime timestamp.

• Updates dependencies to latest versions to prevent conflicts with other packages.

• Includes altitudeAccuracy and headingAccuracy in Position.

• Updates documentation for getCurrentPosition() and LocationAccuracy, to clarify the behavior of location accuracy on Android devices.

• Fixed a spelling error in docs.

• Migrates to Dart SDK 2.15.0 and Flutter 2.8.0.

• Fixes repository URL of the package.

• Fixes a bug where listening to the position stream immediately after an error, results in listening to a dead stream.

• Removes timeInterval from LocationSettings documentation.

• Added extensions.dart to the exports list.

• Adds the LocationPermission.unableToDetermine status used on the web platform when the permission API is not implemented by the browser.

• breaking Updates the plugin platform interface to use a non-const token. This is marked as a breaking change because it can cause an assertion failure if implementations use implements rather than extends, but hopefully there aren't any of those;
• Replaced soft-deprecated PlatformInterface.verifyToken method with PlatformInterface.verify method;
• Updated plugin_platform_interface dependency.

• Remove unnecessary import statements from several source files;
• Fix "forceAndroidLocationManager" for getLastKnownPosition.

• Defines the LocationSettings class which bundles platform specific settings when communicating with the host platform.

• Removed Android specific LocationSettings.intervalDuration field.

• Updated API documentation on GeolocatorPlatform.getServiceStream() method, describing it is not supported on the web platform.

• Changed the EventChannelMock and the MethodChannelMockd due to breaking changes in the platform channel test interface.

• Update the documentation of the getCurrentPosition method to explain why it can take several seconds to execute.

• Added the possibility to pass your own purposeKey name to the requestTemporaryFullAccuracy method.

• Solves a bug which resulted in an issue when closing the position stream.

• Added the possibility to request temporary Precise Accuracy on iOS 14+ devices.

• Documentation getLocationAccuracy() method clarified.
• Extended the LocationAccuracyStatus enum with a LocationAccuracyStatus.unknown value, which can be used by platforms that don't support location accuracy features.

• Added the possibility to query for the LocationAccuracyStatus on devices running iOS 14.0 and higher.

• Solves a bug which resulted in an issue when closing the position stream and requesting a new one (see issue #703).

• Added the possibility to start a stream which will return an event when Location Services are manually enabled/disabled

• Added definition of the ActivityMissingException.

• Resolved analyzer error when using mockito (see issue #709).

• Stable release for null safety.

• Merged version 1.0.9 into null safety.

• Migrated to support null safety.

• Updated the README.md to more clearly explain the purpose of the geolocator_platform_interface package.

• Added the optional floor property to the position model and can be used by implementations to specify the floor on which the device is located (see #562).

• Solves a bug causing less accurate location fixes (see #531).

• Allow developers to call the getCurrentPosition method while already listening to a position stream (see issue #546);
• Make sure the position stream is stopped correctly (see issues #485 and #541);
• Android: fix deprecation warning (see issue #556).

• Solve a bug which adds a zero timeout when no timeout is supplied (see #564).

• Added more detailed documentation on the LocationServiceDisableException (see issue #519).

• Add the isMocked field to the Position class to indicate if the position is retrieved using the Android MockLocationProvider (see issue #498);
• Fixed typo in API documentation of LocationPermission (see issue #494)

• Fixed code formatting and homepage URL

• Improved LocationPermission documentation (see issue #494).

• Make sure close streams are dereferenced (solves a bug where closed stream is listened to generating an exception).

• Add support to force using the Android Location Manager instead of the Android FusedLocationProvider.

• Initial open-source release.
