• Stop triggering Flutter's WARNING: Your app uses the following plugins that apply Kotlin Gradle Plugin (KGP): google_places_sdk_plus_android on AGP 9.0+ (issue #39). Flutter decides which plugins "apply KGP" by regex-matching the text of the plugin's build.gradle, not by inspecting the Gradle plugin container, so the conditional apply plugin: "kotlin-android" added in 1.1.3 was reported as if it were unconditional. KGP is now applied via project.pluginManager.apply("kotlin-android"), which keeps the exact same runtime behaviour: built-in Kotlin compiles the plugin when the app opts in (android.builtInKotlin=true), Flutter 3.44+ applies kotlin-android to this subproject itself when it does not, and this plugin still applies it directly on Flutter 3.41–3.43 where that fallback does not exist. No behaviour change for apps — the build failures from #34 and #36 stay fixed.

• Fix Android build failure cannot find symbol ... FlutterGooglePlacesSdkPlugin in GeneratedPluginRegistrant.java (issue #36). The 1.1.1/1.1.2 migration decided whether to apply the Kotlin Gradle Plugin (KGP) from the AGP major version alone, assuming AGP 9.0+ always means built-in Kotlin compiles the plugin's Kotlin. But Flutter 3.44+ ships with built-in Kotlin disabled by default (android.builtInKotlin=false in the app's gradle.properties), even on AGP 9.0+. In that configuration KGP was skipped and built-in Kotlin was off, so the plugin's Kotlin was never compiled. The plugin now applies KGP unless the app has actually opted in to built-in Kotlin (android.builtInKotlin=true), which is the correct signal and keeps working on AGP 8.x and AGP 9.0+.

• Fix Android build failure Could not find method kotlin() on Flutter 3.44+ / AGP 9.0+ (issue #34). The 1.1.1 built-in-Kotlin migration still relied on the top-level kotlin { } Groovy accessor, which is not registered when Kotlin is provided by Flutter's built-in Kotlin rather than the kotlin-android plugin. The jvmTarget is now set via the typed KotlinAndroidProjectExtension, configured once the Kotlin plugin is present, so the build works on both AGP 8.x and AGP 9.0+.

Bug fix

Fixes findAutocompletePredictions on web: the Dart locationBias parameter was being mapped to the underlying JS locationRestriction property, which hard-filters results instead of biasing. In practice this caused empty or severely limited autocomplete predictions when the viewport bounds were small or the query referred to a location outside the bounds.

The fix aligns web with the Android, iOS, and HTTP implementations, which already map locationBias → locationBias correctly.

Thanks to @elitree for the clear report and the fix (#27, #28).

Install

dependencies:
  google_places_sdk_plus_web: ^1.1.1

Transitive consumers of google_places_sdk_plus: ^1.1.0 will pick this up automatically via pub's resolver.

• Migrate to built-in Kotlin: the Kotlin Gradle Plugin is now only applied on Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) versions below 9.0. AGP 9.0+ removed support for plugins applying KGP directly, which broke builds for apps on Flutter 3.44+ (see flutter/flutter#181383). The plugin still builds on Flutter 3.41–3.43.

• Update minimum SDK constraints: Dart >=3.11.0, Flutter >=3.41.0
• Verified compatibility with Flutter 3.41.6

Full Changelog: https://github.com/KamiloChinome/google_places_sdk_plus/commits/v1.0.0

• Stable release — version aligned with all packages

• Use UUID for photo references instead of incrementing counter
• Clear photo metadata cache on deinitialize()
• Validate coordinate ranges, radius, and photo dimensions — return FlutterError for invalid values

• Remove all print() debug statements from native plugin
• Replace force unwraps (!!) with safe null checks that return FlutterError instead of crashing
• Add requireClient() guard — returns CLIENT_NOT_INITIALIZED error if called before initialize()

• Fix: session token was not cleared after fetchPlace(), causing subsequent autocomplete searches to reuse a stale token and break session billing boundaries. The token is now invalidated after every fetchPlace() call.

Initial release of google_places_sdk_plus_android.

• Full Google Places API (New) support — exclusively targets the new API
• Removed useNewApi parameter from initialize() and updateSettings()
• Serializes all new Places API (New) fields: primaryType, primaryTypeDisplayName, shortFormattedAddress, editorialSummary, googleMapsUri, googleMapsLinks, timeZone, postalAddress, currentOpeningHours, secondaryOpeningHours, and all boolean service attributes
• Serializes complex types: paymentOptions, parkingOptions, evChargeOptions, fuelOptions, accessibilityOptions, priceRange
• Serializes AI/generative summaries: generativeSummary, reviewSummary, neighborhoodSummary, evChargeAmenitySummary
• Serializes relational data: subDestinations, containingPlaces, addressDescriptor, consumerAlerts
• authorAttributions, flagContentUri, and googleMapsUri in photo metadata
• Photo metadata cached on the Android side
