✅ Update SDK constraints to Dart >=3.2.0 and Flutter >=3.16.0 across all packages
✅ Update Android Gradle Plugin to 8.3.0 and Gradle wrapper to 8.9
✅ Increase Android compile SDK to 35 and add NDK 26.3.11579264 for latest tooling
✅ Update iOS deployment target to 13.0 and Swift version to 5.0
✅ Fix win32 dependency compatibility issue for Dart 3.8+ (resolves UnmodifiableUint8ListView errors)
✅ Update melos to 6.0.0 and modernize dev dependencies
✅ Android namespace already properly configured for AGP 4.2+ compatibility

Fixes compatibility problems similar to 🐞Cannot build app using this package #586 (Cannot build app using this package)
Resolves Kotlin compilation errors like those in 🐞Execution failed for task ':workmanager:compileDebugKotlin'. #325 and 🐞[Execution failed for task ':workmanager:compileDebugKotlin'.] #379
Addresses AGP/Gradle modernization needs mentioned across multiple issues
Ensures compatibility with latest Flutter/Dart versions preventing issues like [Workmanager] Unresolved References After Flutter 3.29.0 Update #588

Test plan

All unit tests pass (21 tests)
Static analysis passes without issues
Both Android APK and iOS simulator builds complete successfully
Dependency resolution works without conflicts
Integration tests pass (requires device/emulator)

All changes maintain backward compatibility while enabling the plugin to work with modern Flutter/Dart toolchains.

The path_provider_windows override was not needed and could cause confusion. Android namespace is already properly handled with AGP 4.2+ compatibility.

- Update action versions to latest (setup-java@v4, futureware-tech/simulator-action@v3) - Add Flutter action caching for faster CI builds - Update iOS simulator to iPhone 15 with latest OS - Switch Android native tests to ubuntu-latest for better performance - Fix gradle command syntax (./gradlew :workmanager:test) - Update Android emulator API level from 29 to 34 - Add KVM permissions for Android emulator on ubuntu - Add melos bootstrap to all workflows for proper dependency management - Use Temurin JDK distribution instead of deprecated setup

Resolve conflicts by choosing: - Our modern SDK constraints (Dart >=3.2.0) - Latest Android versions from main (AGP 8.10.1, Kotlin 2.1.0, Gradle 8.11.1) - Latest targetSdkVersion 35 - Our iOS simulator OS=latest (more flexible than fixed 17.4) - Consolidated KVM setup for Android emulator

Required by latest path_provider_android, permission_handler_android, shared_preferences_android, and workmanager dependencies.

The formatting issue might be due to CI environment differences.

Resolve iOS build conflict: - Update Podfile platform from 12.0 to 13.0 - Update all IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET from 12.0 to 13.0 - Ensures consistency with workmanager plugin's iOS 13.0 requirement Fixes: Compiling for iOS 12.0, but module 'workmanager' has a minimum deployment target of iOS 13.0

workmanager/CHANGELOG.md:6

The listed Android Gradle Plugin version (8.10.1) does not match the AGP version configured elsewhere (e.g., build.gradle). Please align the changelog entry with the actual plugin version used or update the build configuration accordingly.

* Android: Update to Android Gradle Plugin 8.10.1

example/pubspec.yaml:14

The example project lists workmanager: without a version or path. It’s best practice to pin this to the new 0.7.0 release (e.g., workmanager: ^0.7.0) or reference it via a local path so users can run the example without ambiguity.

  workmanager:

example/android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties:4

[nitpick] Switching to the -all.zip distribution pulls source and docs, increasing download size. If you only need the binaries, consider using the -bin.zip distribution to speed up CI setup.
