• Fixes:
  • Opening a native sheet after another was dismissed no longer aborts the app (Spawning from an engine without a shell). FlutterEngineGroup spawns every engine from its oldest living one, which could be a finished sheet's engine whose context was already destroyed. Sheet engines now spawn from a dedicated idle engine that lives with the app.

• Context menus: NativeContextMenu opens UIKit's own context menu when you long-press any Flutter widget. You get the press shrink, the widget lifting over a blurred backdrop with the menu beside it, haptics, and the settle back. UIKit recognizes the long press on the Flutter view and hit-tests against where Flutter laid the widget out that frame, so it follows scrolling and never interrupts a scroll. The lifted preview is a snapshot clipped to borderRadius. Android and iOS 15–25 get a Flutter menu next to the widget instead.
• Voice recording in composers: NativeComposerController.startVoiceRecording() turns either composer into a recording bar, as in Slack: cancel, a live waveform, the elapsed time and a done button in the tint colour. Recording is native (AAC .m4a, with microphone permission and haptics). The clip arrives in onVoiceRecorded as a NativeVoiceRecording (path and duration). A refusal arrives in onVoiceRecordingFailed, and so does a Flutter fallback, so apps can record their own way there. Also new: finishVoiceRecording(), cancelVoiceRecording(), isRecording, an optional maxDuration, and VoiceOver labels for the bar's buttons. A recording is cancelled when its composer goes away. Your app needs NSMicrophoneUsageDescription.
• Mentions in composers: the controller tracks the caret (selection), and gains setText(text, selection:) and replaceRange for completing a mention being typed. The highlights parameter draws given runs of text (such as @names) in the tint colour, natively and in the replicas.
• Navigation bar: NativeBarTitle(fill: true) stretches a title capsule across the space between the leading and trailing buttons, as a chat header does. iconSize fits an avatar-sized icon, such as a 40 pt group avatar, concentric with the capsule.
• Fixes:
  • A page taking over the shared native composer now sends its own text. A new page no longer shows the previous page's draft.
  • A page coming back into view now shows its composer again.
  • After a hot restart, a composer the previous isolate left on screen is removed.

• Native sheets can present native sheets. A sheet opened from inside a sheet's engine is a real UIKit sheet over it. Sessions are keyed per presenting engine, so a nested sheet no longer replaces its parent's session (which left the parent unable to close or report its result). Dismissing a sheet finishes the sheets above it too.
• Content-sized native sheets: NativeSheetDetent.content() now works natively. Wrap the sheet's content in NativeSheetContent; the sheet lays out off screen, reports its height and slides up at it, then follows the content as it changes.
• Faster sheets: the next engine for an entrypoint starts as soon as one is used, so a sheet opened from a sheet, or the next one, is warm too.
• Content-sized sheets, sizing: content taller than the sheet is laid out at the sheet's height, so its scroll views end at the sheet's bottom instead of below it; content the sheet is still growing to keeps its height rather than being squeezed for a frame.
• Stacked sheets: a Flutter sheet under another sheet steps back behind it (slightly smaller, its top peeking above, its grabber hidden) and returns when the sheet above closes.
• Navigation bar: the scroll edge effect shows only once the page's content scrolls under the bar, natively and in the replica, so content at rest under the bar stays crisp.
• Fixes: a detent index outside detents no longer crashes; a content-sized Flutter sheet follows content that grows after its first layout; the first drag on a content-sized native sheet scrolls its content instead of being lost.

• Sheets: a Flutter sheet given a backgroundColor stays solid at every detent: content no longer shows the page behind through it, nor a lighter band under the bar's edge fade. A CupertinoDynamicColor follows the theme's brightness while the sheet is open. Sheets without a colour keep iOS 26's translucency below the large detent.
• Sheets: while the page behind recedes (the large detent), the status bar turns light over it, as in UIKit; adding that never rebuilds the sheet mid-drag.
• Fallbacks: VeneerFallbackStyle.shadows replaces the default shadow under replica surfaces, so bars, buttons and the tab bar can use a design system's elevation.
• Fixes: after a hot restart, chrome an earlier isolate left hidden (a Flutter sheet was up) shows again.

• Sheets: NativeSheetDetent.content() sizes a Flutter-drawn sheet to its content and follows it as it changes; sheets shorter than large float inset from the screen edges. Sheet content gets a Material (text fields and list tiles work as-is) and the sheet's surface as its scaffold background.
• Sheets, safe area and keyboard: a sheet rising for the keyboard grows at least as fast as the keyboard, so its content is never squeezed between the two; the keyboard inset reaching the content no longer counts the sheet's floating inset twice; dragging the sheet puts the keyboard away.
• Fixes: bars, composers and the tab bar come back when a popup or sheet on an outer navigator closes (a page in a tab's navigator); after a hot restart the native overlay reports its insets again, so pages under a NativeNavigationBar don't slide under the bar.

• Navigation bar: titles can be leading-aligned (NativeBarTitle.alignment) and styled with your app's fonts and colours (style, subtitleStyle), natively too. The title capsule takes an accessory glyph.
• Bar buttons: badge, prominent tinted glass, text-only buttons, and group to split trailing buttons into separate capsules.
• Menus: NativeMenuItem.divider() for sections.
• Prompt composer: stopAction, sendEnabled, sendBusy and editable; attachments take loading.
• Sheets: payload / NativeSheet.payload() pass data into pre-warmed engines. Sheet engines no longer restyle the app's status bar, and each is torn down when its sheet is dismissed (their overlays no longer outlive them).
• Fallbacks: VeneerFallbackStyle is a ThemeExtension, so replicas can follow your design system. The replica bar spans its parent and places titles like UIKit, the menu is opaque with section bands, the tab bar sizes to its tabs and clears Android's gesture handle, and the Flutter sheet has a rim at its edge.
• Fixes: a bar or composer on a page inside a nested navigator (a tab's) now hides when an outer route covers it; a NativeNavigationBar outside a NativeChromeScope gives its content the right top inset; a composer host rebuilt mid-page keeps its height.

• Composer: if the software keyboard goes away while the text view keeps focus (for example at the end of an interactive dismissal), the composer now drops focus and collapses to its capsule, instead of staying expanded with no keyboard and bringing the keyboard back on the next tap.
• Composer: the collapsed capsule always shows its text from the start.
• Docs: a demo of the example app in the README.

First public release.

• Tab bar (NativeChromeScope): a real UITabBarController with the split layout's trailing button, badges, selected icons and a bottom scroll edge effect. Slides away while another route covers its page.
• Navigation bar (NativeNavigationBar): a real UINavigationBar with glass buttons, a title capsule, grouped trailing buttons, native menus, animated item changes and iOS 26's scroll edge effect over Flutter content.
• Composer (NativeComposer): a messaging composer that morphs from a capsule into a card above the keyboard inside the keyboard's animation, with interactive keyboard dismissal.
• Prompt composer (NativePromptComposer): an assistant-style composer with inline actions, a primary action that becomes send, multi-line growth, attachments and glass side actions that split off for a live session.
• Sheets (showNativeSheet): real UIKit sheets hosting Flutter content in a pre-warmed engine, with detents, grabber and Veneer's bars and composers inside; a Flutter sheet with the same behaviour elsewhere.
• Menus (NativeMenuItem): native UIMenus from bar buttons, composer buttons and glass shapes.
• Glass (GlassShape, GlassGroup): Liquid Glass positioned by Flutter layout every frame through a synchronous dart:ffi call, merging within groups and clipped by Flutter clips.
• Icons (NativeIcon): SF Symbols, IconData from any icon font (including variable fonts), a native SVG renderer and raster images.
• Flutter replicas of every component for Android and iOS 15–25, and VeneerFallbackScope / Veneer.debugForceFallback to force them.
