Getting Started

There is a comprehensive tutorial on how to set-up a new application using this plugin on the Situm documentation page.

Below you will find the basic steps to install and configure the plugin on your Flutter project. These steps have already been done for you in the example application of this repository, but they are required for other projects.

Running the example

Check the example/README file of this repository to create your first Flutter application using Situm Flutter.

Configure the plugin on your Flutter project

Install the plugin

To add the Situm dependency to your Flutter project, you can use the flutter pub add command. To add this dependency to your project, you can use the following command in your terminal:

flutter pub add situm_flutter

Set up your Situm credentials

Create a new config.dart file with your Situm credentials. You can use the contents of example/config.dart.example as example.

Follow the Wayfinding guide if you haven't set up a Situm account.

Android

  1. Add the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission to your AndroidManifest.xml file if you have configured Situm SDK to use GPS:
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
  1. Set the minSdkVersion to 21 or later on your app's build.gradle file.

iOS

  1. Remove the "use_frameworks!" directive in the Podfile of your iOS project:

  2. Run pod install or pod update to bring the dependencies to your project.

  3. Declare the following permissions in your app's Info.plist file to successfully start positioning:

<key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
<string>Location is required to find out where you are</string>
<key>NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
<string>Location is required to find out where you are</string>
<key>NSMotionUsageDescription</key>
<string>We use your phone sensors (giroscope, accelerometer and altimeter) to improve location quality</string>
  1. For offline support you will have to add the underlying web application's domain inside the entry WKAppBoundDomains on Info.plist as follows:
<key>WKAppBoundDomains</key>
<array>
	<string>map-viewer.situm.com</string>
</array>

Migrate from the old Situm Flutter Wayfinding plugin

The new Situm Flutter package breaks compatibility with the previous Situm Flutter Wayfinding plugin. Integrating the new version is simpler and more straightforward. If you want to migrate your application, follow the steps described in the Situm documentation.

Versioning

Please refer to CHANGELOG.md for a list of notable changes for each version of the plugin.
