Anyone forking this library and are willing to maintain it for future generations ?

Hey there
Thats true that we don't have priority anymore on this plugin due to company restructuring, you can still @ me, @remohoeppli or @josemiguelvarela.
Ideally we would find a suitable successor who is willing to spend time to maintain this plugin in the future.
E.g. transfer the Flutter package and use a forked repo. We are also open suggestions and would to see the package in good hands.

We are depending on the package quite heavily but just took over maintenance of two other packages. We probably need 2-3 months to assess the workload coming in from those packages until we can decide. Would definitely be happy to see someone pick this up!

I'm about to finalize the dependencies bump of all dependencies and also to remove the Dartz dependency (which is not maintain anymore since 3 years) but I'm currently working on a private fork of this repository. Will have to ask to my company if I can spend time on it but if not, i would be happy to help those who want to take over this code.

Here are my current dependencies:

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter
  flutter_secure_storage: ^9.2.4
  webview_flutter: ^4.10.0
  http: ^1.3.0
  lints: ^5.1.1
  shared_preferences: ^2.5.3
  fpdart: ^1.1.1
  equatable: ^2.0.7

dev_dependencies:
  flutter_test:
    sdk: flutter

Note: fpdart is just a replacement of Dartz that we use in our projects, but I think that we should remove this kind of dependency. If we still want to use a monad to avoid a big breaking change, it will be much simpler to create our own monad Result(i.e. sum types of Success and Failure).

Is there any hope to do some dependency updates on this library, so it is compliant to current Flutter Beta (v3.34+) ?

It is still the best functional oauth2 library which embraces web, android native and ios native, but it is lacking behind and may cause dependency "hog" ("hog" = marshlands).

Please ?

[RoarGronmo]

@eric-taix
Have you come any further with your approach ?

[eric-taix]

@RoarGronmo Yes it works on Android, iOS and Web. But my company doesn't want to spend time on an open source project. I have to do it on my spare time...

[josemiguelvarela]

If someone creates a pull request with the dependencies updated, I can review and merge it.

The other option is to transfer the repository to someone who has time to maintain it.

[RoarGronmo]

@eric-taix Are you able to make a PR with your suggestions ?

Note: It would have been very preferable if it is compliant with current Flutter Beta (v3.34+)

To be honest not right now, my workload is currently very high. But in the summer (probably August), I think that I'll be able to open a PR for bump dependencies.

But @RoarGronmo we are not using the beta version, so the PR will be on the latest stable version, which will suit the majority.

[RoarGronmo]

@eric-taix aad_oauth will cause builds to web to break (flutter/flutter#170800 (comment)) if current beta (v3.34) goes to stable at the moment, so therefore I hoped the fix aimed beta.

Anyway, looking forward to August for the stable fix then... ...stay on, keep the balance !

[tigloo]

The issue you are linking is speculative and has no minimal example to reproduce it with aad_oauth only. Also, the library needs to work for stable versions. Changes should only be done in a way that don‘t break existing stable deployments.

If you have a working, minimal example (the counter app only including aad_oauth in the pubspec), please open a separate ticket against this repo. This issue should only discuss maintenance handover.

[RoarGronmo]

@tigloo You are right, I am speculative guy ;)

Anyway, managed to make a test-app with aad_oauth which connected well both in android and web with flutter beta, so no worry there (for now).

TYI: This is what concerns me, that you may find a solution for in August:

Anyone succeeded in forking aad_oauth and made progress in this matter?

[eric-taix-dgre]

Hi All,

My apologies for the delay (thanks @RoarGronmo for the reminder).
I spent some hours this afternoon to create a PR : #372

Anyone can test it to verify if everything is ok (didn't test wasm support nor Android nor B2C)

• ✅ Test B2B on iOS (Flutter 3.35.4)
• ✅ Test B2B on Web (Flutter 3.35.4)
• ⚠️ Didn't test on Android
• ⚠️ Didn't test wasm
• ⚠️ B2C not tested

@josemiguelvarela @loetsphi @remohoeppli Can you review the PR?

Note: flutter_secure_storage version is ^10.0.0-beta.4 (this is a pre-release since many months unfortunately). It should be updated when a stable version will be released.
