Bug Fixes #

• Fixed Windows CI archive creation step: Resolved a CI failure where the "Create Windows Binaries Archive" step was using bash-style commands (rm -f, zip) but running in PowerShell by default. PowerShell interpreted rm -f as Remove-Item with an ambiguous -f parameter. Changed to native PowerShell commands (Remove-Item, Compress-Archive) with explicit shell: pwsh for consistency with other Windows steps.

Bug Fixes #

• Fixed Windows binaries path in unified package: Resolved an issue where Windows binaries in agus-maps-binaries-vX.Y.Z.zip were incorrectly placed at windows/prebuilt/agus-binaries-windows/x64/ instead of windows/prebuilt/x64/. This caused Windows consumers to get "file not found" errors when using the unified binary package.

New Features #

• Auto-download XCFramework for iOS/macOS: Pub.dev consumers no longer need to manually place iOS/macOS frameworks. The CocoaPods prepare_command now automatically downloads the XCFramework from GitHub releases when not found locally. This solves the issue where pub-cache installed plugins couldn't find frameworks extracted to the consumer app's directory (different directory trees).

  Important: Consumers still need to download and extract the unified binary package to their app root for assets (assets/comaps_data/, assets/maps/). Only the XCFramework download is automated.

Build System Improvements #

• Updated podspec versions: iOS and macOS podspecs now correctly specify version 0.1.5 (previously 0.0.1).

• Improved iOS/macOS podspec documentation: Added detailed comments explaining the three-tier framework resolution: (1) local existence check, (2) relative path search for vendored plugins, (3) auto-download from GitHub releases.

• Improved Android build.gradle documentation: Added clarifying comments about how rootDir resolves in Flutter Android builds to help future maintainers understand the prebuilt binary search logic.

CI/CD Improvements #

• Consistent archive creation for Windows: Added a dedicated "Create Windows Binaries Archive" step in CI workflow (similar to Android and Linux) that creates the zip with content at root level, ensuring the correct windows/prebuilt/x64/ structure in the unified package.

• Removed duplicate release artifact: Removed the redundant non-versioned agus-maps-binaries.zip from releases. Only the versioned agus-maps-binaries-vX.Y.Z.zip is now uploaded, avoiding confusion and reducing release artifact size.

• Individual iOS/macOS binary zips in releases: Added agus-binaries-ios.zip and agus-binaries-macos.zip to GitHub releases for CocoaPods auto-download functionality.

Bug Fixes #

• Fixed Android CI build failure: Resolved an issue where in-repo builds (CI, local development) incorrectly used pre-built binary mode instead of building from source. This caused compilation failures with "file not found" errors for CoMaps headers (base/task_loop.hpp, platform/platform.hpp, etc.) because the headers directory was not set.

Build System Changes #

• Prioritize source builds for in-repo development: Changed Android Gradle build logic to always build from source when running in-repo (when .git and thirdparty/comaps exist), regardless of whether android/prebuilt/ contains binaries. This ensures CI builds and local development always use the source code.
• Clearer error for external consumers: External consumers (Flutter apps using this plugin as a dependency) now receive a clear GradleException with download instructions if pre-built binaries are missing, instead of a generic warning.

Breaking Changes #

• Removed auto-download behavior: All build systems (CMake, Gradle, CocoaPods) no longer auto-download binaries during build. Consumers must manually download and extract the unified package before building.
• Removed download_libs.sh: The auto-download script has been removed to ensure a single, consistent, deterministic workflow for all consumers.

Consumer Workflow Changes #

The workflow is now fully manual and deterministic:

1. Add agus_maps_flutter: ^0.1.3 to your pubspec.yaml
2. Download agus-maps-binaries-v0.1.3.zip from GitHub Releases
3. Extract directly to your Flutter app root directory
4. Add assets to your pubspec.yaml:

   flutter:
     assets:
       - assets/comaps_data/
       - assets/maps/
   

5. Run flutter build

⚠️ Upgrading from 0.1.2: When upgrading the plugin version, you must also manually download and extract the new binaries package. The build system will NOT auto-download - it only detects pre-existing binaries.

Unified Package Structure #

After extracting agus-maps-binaries-vX.Y.Z.zip to your app root (my_app/):

my_app/
├── android/prebuilt/{arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a,x86_64}/   ← Native libraries
├── ios/Frameworks/CoMaps.xcframework/                 ← iOS framework
├── macos/Frameworks/CoMaps.xcframework/               ← macOS framework
├── windows/prebuilt/x64/                              ← Windows DLLs
├── linux/prebuilt/x64/                                ← Linux shared libs
├── assets/comaps_data/                                ← Engine data files
├── assets/maps/                                       ← Map files location
├── headers/                                           ← (Optional) C++ headers
├── lib/                                               ← Your app code
└── pubspec.yaml

Build System Improvements #

• Detection-only build systems: All platforms (CMake, Gradle, CocoaPods) now only detect pre-built binaries. Clear error messages with download instructions are shown when binaries are missing.
• No network during build: Build process is fully deterministic with no implicit downloads.
• Consistent archive format: All platform binaries use consistent archive structure without wrapper folders.
• Linux architecture naming: Standardized Linux binaries to use x64 folder naming (consistent with Windows).
• Multi-location binary search: CMake (Linux/Windows) and Gradle (Android) now search multiple locations for pre-built binaries:
  • Plugin-local directory (for CI builds or vendored plugins)
  • Project root directory (for consumers extracting unified package)
• Linux CMakeLists.txt: Complete rewrite with prebuilt detection, IMPORTED targets, and clear FATAL_ERROR messages for missing binaries.
• Windows CMakeLists.txt: Enhanced detection logic matching the Linux implementation.

CI/CD Improvements #

• Explicit archive creation: CI now creates all platform archives with consistent structure (content at root, no wrapper folders).
• Removed archive creation from build scripts: Build scripts now only produce output directories; CI handles archive creation for consistency.
• Linux archive creation: Added explicit archive creation step in CI for Linux binaries with x64 folder naming.

Documentation #

• Updated README.md with simplified 5-step Quick Start guide and upgrade instructions.
• Updated CHANGELOG.md with detailed migration notes.

Release Packaging Improvements #

• Unified binary package: Introduced agus-maps-binaries-vX.Y.Z.zip containing all platform binaries, assets, and headers in a single download.
• Versioned artifact filenames: All release artifacts now include the version tag (e.g., agus-maps-android-vX.Y.Z.apk).
• Streamlined release artifacts: Removed individual platform binary zips from releases - they are now consolidated in the unified package.
• Headers included: C++ headers are now bundled in the unified package for developers who need to build from source.
