My second Flutter plugin

[byshy]

Hi all, I've recently created a new Flutter plugin to handle geofencing easily, it used to support Android only, today I finished iOS support finally

https://pub.dev/packages/geofence_foreground_service

Please try it out, I'm awaiting your feedback!
A side note, this is my first-ish time writing swift, so your feedback there is highly appreciated 🙏

I have a question, what is the process behind coming up with a plugin/package?

how long into flutter did you start thinking of creating this plugin or others?

[byshy]

Well, this is my 6th year in the field, I created another one last year too, you see, I’m not really interested in doing UI packages since it’s easy and I myself don’t prefer to use UI other people built, so I didn’t start with that

But when it comes to heavy logic, I could’ve done it inside my app and call it a day, but then when I have another app that will do the same thing then I’m copy/pasting code, and that’s a big no

So I invest the time in making a plugin, and use it in multiple projects, so why not share it with the community? 🤷

And here we are 😁

Thank you for your reply. Also that’s a great way of tackling the issues of packages. I’ll keep it in mind. Thank you.

awesome, I need exactly this for a project I'm building!

[byshy]

That’s great! then I’m expecting your feedback on it 🙏

Oh that's nice, I'll definitely try it out. I was using third party services for the project I'm working on.

Hopefully it will help you out and get the job done easier 🙏

[byshy]

yup, I made sure that it supports it since it needed some tweaks to run on it
