Description:

restart

restart #
A Flutter plugin to restart the application.
The plugin works by creating a new instance of the Flutter Engine. The entry point of the Dart VM is executed again, while the underlying platform specific application keeps running. This is achieved as follows:
Android #
Recreating the FlutterActivity.
iOS #
Creating a new instance of FlutterViewController & setting it as root view controller of the UIApplication.
Installation #
Add package to the dependencies section of the pubspec.yaml:
dependencies:
restart: ^1.0.0

Documentation #
A single method call allows to terminate the Dart VM & restart execution from the entry point.
import 'package:restart/restart.dart';

// 🎉
restart();

Setup #
Android #
No changes required.
iOS #
Flutter plugins must be registered again with the newly created Flutter Engine. Modify the ios/Runner/AppDelegate.swift file in your Flutter project as follows:
import Flutter
import UIKit
+import restart

@UIApplicationMain
@objc class AppDelegate: FlutterAppDelegate {
override func application(
_ application: UIApplication,
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?
) -> Bool {
+ // --------------------------------------------------
+ RestartPlugin.generatedPluginRegistrantRegisterCallback = { [weak self] in
+ GeneratedPluginRegistrant.register(with: self!)
+ }
+ // --------------------------------------------------
GeneratedPluginRegistrant.register(with: self)
return super.application(application, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: launchOptions)
}

}
