open_filex

A plug-in that can call native APP to open files with string result in flutter, support iOS(DocumentInteraction) / android(intent) / PC(ffi) / web(dart:html)

Notice

This package is a fork of open_file to fix the following issues:

• Remove REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES permission in Android to comply with GooglePlay publish policies
• Update ffi to 2.0.1+
• Upgrade support for granular media permissions in Android 13
• Fix plugin lifecycle onDetachedFromActivity in Android
• Fix viewController is not recognized in iOS
• Fix parse args not filtering commands properly
• Replace JCenter with MavenCentral in Android build.gradle repositories (since JCenter becomes unreachable sometimes due to it's end of life)
• Compatibility with Gradle 8+
• iOS embedded flutter compatibility

For full list of changes see CHANGELOG

          xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
          package="xxx.xxx.xxxxx">
    <application>
        ...
        <provider
                android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
                android:authorities="${applicationId}.fileProvider"
                android:exported="false"

subprojects {
    project.configurations.all {
        resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { details ->
            if (details.requested.group == 'com.android.support'
                    && !details.requested.name.contains('multidex') ) {
