| This directory contains a partial snapshot of an old Flutter project; it is |
| intended to replace the corresponding parts of a newly Flutter-created project |
| to allow testing plugin builds with a legacy project. |
| |
| It was originally created with Flutter 2.0.6. In general the guidelines are: |
| - Pieces here should be largely self-contained rather than portions of |
| major project components; for instance, it currently contains the entire |
| `android/` directory from a legacy project, rather than a subset of it |
| which would be combined with a subset of a new project's `android/` |
| directory. This is to avoid random breakage in the future due to |
| conflicts between those subsets. For instance, we could probably get |
| away with not including android/app/src/main/res for a while, and |
| instead layer in the versions from a new project, but then someday |
| if the resources were renamed, there would be dangling references to |
| the old resources in files that are included here. |
| - Updates over time should be minimal. We don't expect that an unchanged |
| project will keep working forever, but this directory should simulate |
| a developer who has done the bare minimum to keep their project working |
| as they have updated Flutter. |
| - Updates should be logged below. |
| |
| The reason for the hybrid model, rather than checking in a full legacy |
| project, is to minimize unnecessary maintenance work. E.g., there's no |
| need to manually keep Dart code updated for Flutter changes just to |
| test legacy native Android build behaviors. |
| |
| ## Manual changes to files |
| |
| The following are the changes relative to running: |
| |
| ```bash |
| flutter create -a java all_packages |
| ``` |
| |
| and then deleting everything but `android/` from it: |
| |
| - Added license boilerplate. |
| - Replaced `jcenter` in build.gradle with `mavenCentral`, due to the |
| jcenter.bintray.com shutdown. |
| - Update `compileSdkVersion` from 30 to 33 to maintain compatibility |
| with plugins that use API 34. |
| - Updates `gradle-wrapper.properties` from `6.7` to `6.7.1`, to add |
| support for the Kotlin gradle plugin. If a user runs into this |
| error, the error message is clear on how to upgrade. |
| - Modifies `build.gradle` to upgrade the Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) |
| from version 4.1.0 to 7.0.0. If a user runs into an error with |
| the AGP version, the warning is clear on how to upgrade |
| the version to one that we support. |
| - Modifies `gradle-wrapper.properties` to upgrade the Gradle version |
| from 6.7.1 to 7.0.2. If a user runs into an error with the Gradle |
| version, the warning is clear on how to upgrade the version to |
| one that we support. |
