You can use either of the following approaches to updating the Connect plugin in your Flutter app:

• Strict approach when you specify the exact version to install. For the list of available versions, see Release notes for mobile Connect SDKs.
• Flexible approach when you allow automatic updates within certain constraints.

When you enter the caret symbol ^ next to a version number, it signals that you allow minor updates and patches within the same major version, for example from version 2.33.0 to version 2.33.1 or 2.35.0. When a new major version is available (3.x.x), you will need to update the dependency.

Note

While minor versions aim for compatibility, there's always a slight risk of unexpected issues. It's a good practice to test your app thoroughly after updating packages.

Instructions

1. In the root project directory, open pubspec.yaml.
2. Specify a version number or constraint.

dependencies:
  connect_flutter_plugin: ^2.33.0

3. From the root project directory, run the update command.

flutter pub update

Flutter will look for the latest versions of your dependencies that fit the specified version constraints.

Additional version-related settings

There is a configuration file in the Connect library (ConnectConfig.json). It lets you manage some additional settings related to versions:

• Upgrade (or downgrade) to a custom version of the iOS or Android library.
• Change the build type from beta to release or vice versa.

Here are the detailed descriptions of these optional configuration parameters.

After editing ConnectConfig.json, you must run the Connect Command Line Tool. This is necessary to apply the changes.

cd <YOUR_PROJECT_PATH>
dart run $HOME/connect_cli/bin/connect_cli.dart
