Overview
Create a Flutter platform channel for native iOS and Android communication.
Steps
- Define the platform channel interface:
- Create the Dart side:
- Implement the iOS handler (Swift):
- Implement the Android handler (Kotlin):
- Add EventChannel if streaming data is needed:
- Test communication on both platforms.
- Handle edge cases (app backgrounding, channel not available).
Format
Channel: <channel name>
Methods:
- <method>(<params>) -> <return type>
Events:
Rules
- Use consistent channel names across Dart, iOS, and Android.
- Always handle PlatformException on the Dart side.
- Return structured data as Maps, not raw strings.
