🧩 Unified V1 + V2 API with shared models and services

This release builds on top of the V2 Orders support and introduces a unified, version-aware API that can handle both PayPal Payments API V1 and Orders API V2 from a single, clean interface.

✨ New Features #

• Added shared abstract base types:
  • PaypalServicesBase
  • PayPalOrderRequestBase
• New unified checkout widget:
  • PaypalCheckoutView
  • Explicit version: PayPalApiVersion.v1 | PayPalApiVersion.v2
• Shared payment result model:
  • PaypalPaymentModel (used for both V1 & V2 flows)
• Version-aware order models:
  • PayPalOrderRequestV1 (Payments API v1)
  • PayPalOrderRequestV2 (Orders API v2)
• Clear client-side handling of:
  • V1 → execute payment using PayerID
  • V2 → capture order using orderId
• Added PayPalAllowedPaymentMethodV1 enum and PayPalPaymentOptionsV1 model for:
  • UNRESTRICTED
  • INSTANT_FUNDING_SOURCE
  • IMMEDIATE_PAY

🧪 New Example Screen #

• Demo screen with two buttons:
  • “Pay with PayPal (V2 – Orders API)”
    • Uses PayPalOrderRequestV2, purchase units, amount, items, and shipping address.
  • “Pay with PayPal (V1 – Payments API)”
    • Uses PayPalOrderRequestV1 and PaypalTransactionV1.
• Includes inline help explaining:
  • When to use V1 vs V2
  • Why backend-created orders are recommended in production
  • Why putting clientId / secretKey in the app is sandbox-only

🔒 Safety & Validation #

• Runtime check to prevent:
  • Passing a PayPalOrderRequestV1 into a V2 service
  • Passing a PayPalOrderRequestV2 into a V1 service
    → returns a clear ORDER_VERSION_MISMATCH error.
• Centralized checks for:
  • Empty transactions (V1)
  • Empty purchase units (V2)
  • Null payPalOrder when required

⚠️ Breaking / Deprecation Notes #

• PaypalCheckoutViewV1 and PaypalCheckoutViewV2 are now superseded by the new PaypalCheckoutView.
  • They can still work internally, but the recommended usage is the unified widget with version + PayPalOrderRequestBase.
• Developers should migrate:
  • From direct V1/V2 widgets → to PaypalCheckoutView(version: PayPalApiVersion.v1 | v2, ...).
  • From old loosely-typed maps → to strongly-typed PayPalOrderRequestV1 / PayPalOrderRequestV2.

🚀 Major rewrite with full PayPal Orders API v2 support

This release introduces a complete overhaul of the payment flow, API models, and service structure. ⚠️ Breaking changes included.

✨ New Features #

• Added PayPal Orders API V2 support (create order + capture).
• Strongly-typed request/response models:
  • PayPalOrderRequestV2
  • PaypalPaymentModelV2
  • PayPalCaptureOrderResponse
• Added full enums for:
  • shipping_preference
  • payment_method_preference
  • landing_page
  • user_action
  • item.category
• Added safer custom URL scheme defaults (paypal-sdk://success, paypal-sdk://cancel) for return/cancel handling.
• Support both secure and insecure flows:
  • Secure (recommended): Backend creates order & handles capture.
  • Client-side (testing only): App creates order and captures it.
• Improved WebView behavior & progress UI.

🔒 Security Improvements #

• Added strict protection against exposing PayPal clientId and secretKey in production.
• New flag: overrideInsecureClientCredentials to bypass security (sandbox/testing only).
• Added checks preventing live-mode token generation without backend.

🔧 Enhancements #

• More reliable approval link extraction (approve and payer-action).
• Better error models and error surface handling.
• Cleaner separation between backend-driven and client-driven flows.
• More descriptive callback models for success, error, and cancel events.

⚠️ Breaking Changes #

• Old V1 models and flows removed or renamed.
• PaypalPaymentModel replaced with PaypalPaymentModelV2.
• executePayment replaced with order capture.
• Removed reliance on PayerID (not used in PayPal V2).
• Package API simplified and reorganized.

This package simplifies integrating PayPal payments into your mobile app. Key features include:

• Seamless in-app PayPal WebView checkout
• User-friendly payment flow
• Secure transaction handling
• Customizable UI components
• Real-time payment status updates

Future enhancements include more payment options, fraud protection, subscription support, and analytics improvements.
