Io.flutter.app has disappeared from javadoc

Will io.flutter.app be removed in the near future?

I’m trying to look up the FlutterApplication class, but this page says 404 Not Found
https://api.flutter.dev/javadoc/io/flutter/app/FlutterApplication.html

Also, looking at the javadoc, it seems that io.flutter.app has been removed.

If it’s removed in the near future, I’d like to know why it’s being removed, because I need to deal with this in my application.

Thank you!

I found this (FlutterPlayStoreSplitApplication). Perhaps they had to get rid of the FlutterApplication class?

Last time it was mentioned in the docs is in July 2024

Thanks!

Excuse me, let me teach that I don’t understand the relationship between FlutterPlayStoreSplitApplication and FlutterApplication (io.flutter.app)

I can now confirm that FlutterApplication will be around until December.

As I also wrote to you on Discord, the package got removed by this recent change which was part of the latest stable Flutter release (3.29.0):

Which was part of this issue:

For what the alternative would be, I have no idea. Just thought it would provide value to give some context about it here. At least it answers your question:

If it’s removed in the near future, I’d like to know why it’s being removed, because I need to deal with this in my application.

Answer: It is already removed with most recent Flutter stable release. :slight_smile:

Thanks for reply!

Just thought it would provide value to give some context about it here.

In my application, I use the Application class that inherits FlutterApplication to use Android’s native code. Since Native Code uses ActivityLifecycleCallbacks, I want to register ActivityLifecycleCallbacks in onCreate of FlutterApplication, so I register the Application class to android:name.

Seems like it’s been fixed now in 3.29.2

Thanks!
I’ll keep an eye on the developments a bit more.
