0.3.03 Mar 2025Deprecated
Removed deprecated `PluginRegistry.Registrar` API.
Breaking Changes

Removed deprecated PluginRegistry.Registrar API.

The plugin now fully supports Flutter's v2 embedding (FlutterPlugin).

The static registerWith(Registrar registrar) method has been removed.

This means older projects using Flutter's v1 embedding may need to upgrade.

Migration Steps

No additional steps are needed for Flutter 2+ projects.

If you are using an older Flutter version (before Flutter 1.12), use an earlier version of this plugin.

Improvements

Improved plugin lifecycle management by implementing onAttachedToEngine and onDetachedFromEngine.

Ensured compatibility with Flutter 3.29.0 and newer.

Other Changes

Removed unnecessary Registrar imports.

Cleaned up AndroidManifest.xml to align with the latest Gradle requirements.

Fix bug where the underlying PDFbox plugin would break if downloading multiple PDF-files with the same name and then attempting to open one of them. Now throws a PlatformException. Additionally added PlatformExceptions if something else breaks within the Android code. This should allow users to catch the exception and inform the user that something went wrong.
