App Groups

A Flutter package to access iOS app group features such as a shared directory

Installation

Add this to your pubspec.yaml:

app_groups:
  git:
    url: git://github.com/JackMoseley2001/flutter_app_groups.git

and import it into a dart file

import 'package:app_groups/app_groups.dart';

Getting Started

Firstly, setup an app group via Xcode by going to your project, Signing and Capabilities, add a capability and search for app groups. A prompt will appear to create an app group - this typically always starts with group. and follows with your reverse domain and project. e.g. group.dev.jackmoseley.app_groups

Get the specified shared directory for an app group using the sharedDirectory function, passing in your app group identifier.

  final Future<String> directory = AppGroups.sharedDirectory('group.dev.jackmoseley.app_groups');

  // Or await for it using a function
  getSharedDirectory() async {
    final String directory = await AppGroups.sharedDirectory('group.dev.jackmoseley.app_groups');
    print(directory);
  }

On Android, this function currently returns the default application directory.
