app_settings #

A Flutter plugin for opening iOS and Android phone settings from an app.

Features #

• Supports Swift Package Manager (SPM) for iOS integration.
• Opens various settings pages (e.g., location, Wi-Fi, etc.) for both Android and iOS.
• Optional on-device AI settings proposals via app_settings_ai.

Installation #

First, add app_settings as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.

flutter pub add app_settings

Next, import 'app_settings.dart' into your Dart code.

import 'package:app_settings/app_settings.dart';

iOS #

TIP: If using Objective-C for iOS in your project, you will need to add use_frameworks! to your Runner project podfile in order to use this Swift plugin:

target 'Runner' do
  use_frameworks!

If you prefer using Swift Package Manager (SPM), make sure to enable swift support in your project. See also Flutter SPM integration.

  flutter config --enable-swift-package-manager 

Usage #

Open the settings of the application using AppSettings.openAppSettings(). By default, AppSettingsType.settings is used as the type, which opens the general application settings. If the given type is not supported on the current platform, the general settings are opened instead.

Android If asAnotherTask is set to true, the settings page is opened in a different Activity.

Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return ElevatedButton(
    onPressed: () => AppSettings.openAppSettings(type: AppSettingsType.location),
    child: const Text('Open Location Settings'),
  );
}

Android Q Settings Panels #

To open a Settings Panel on Android Q and higher, call AppSettings.openAppSettingsPanel() with a given type.

Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return ElevatedButton(
    onPressed: () => AppSettings.openAppSettingsPanel(AppSettingsPanelType.volume),
    child: const Text('Open Volume Settings Panel'),
  );
}

Settings panels are not supported on other platforms.

On-device AI settings proposals #

app_settings_ai is a companion package that turns a natural-language complaint — "I'm not getting message alerts" — into a ranked list of settings screens to open, then opens them through this plugin. Inference runs entirely on the device: Apple Foundation Models on iOS 26+ and the ML Kit GenAI Prompt API (Gemini Nano) on supported Android devices.

It is a separate package so that app_settings stays dependency-free — apps that only need to open a settings screen don't pay for an on-device model runtime or a raised SDK floor.
