NEW Amplify Flutter Release Notes 0.5.0

The Amplify Flutter team is announcing the release of version 0.5.0 of the Amplify Flutter library. Please use this Github repo to inform the Amplify Flutter team about features or issues, or visit the Amplify Discord server under the #flutter-help channel.

Highlights

Below is a high level breakdown of the features we are announcing with Amplify Flutter version 0.5.0

Auth enhancements

Previously, the Amplify.Auth.deleteUser API would throw UnimplementedException when it was called on Android platform. With this release, this API becomes functional and will delete currently signed in user on Android platform.

try {
  await Amplify.Auth.deleteUser();
  print('Delete user succeeded');
} on Exception catch (e) {
  print('Delete user failed with error: $e');
}

Custom Auth flows are now available with password-less logins. To support this change, the password attribute is now optional in the Auth.signIn API. While this should not prove breaking in most cases, we are calling it out since it alters a very commonly used API. To learn more about how to setup custom authentication visit our documentation page.

Datastore enhancements

Added support for multi-auth schemas, allowing developers to benefit from multiple authorization rules added to their GraphQL schemas and fields. To learn more about Datastore multi-auth, visit our documentation page.
Added support for custom conflict handlers. This allows developers to define custom logic for handling conflicts between local storage and the backend data while using Datastore. To learn more about this feature visit our documentation page.
Support lists for .contains query predicate in observeQuery (#1233).
Fixing unexpected exception when using default query pagination values in Android (#1533).

Core enhancements

Added fixes for supporting Flutter 3/Dart 2.17.

Escape Hatch

As an alternative to the Amplify client libraries, or in situations where the libraries do not provide the functionality you require, the underlying AWS services can be communicated with directly using an HTTP client and the AWS Signature V4 (SigV4) package. To learn more about the AWS SigV4 package, visit our documentation page.
