Tackling the didChangePlatformBrightness() Issue in Flutter on iOS 15 Simulator

If you're developing a Flutter app and recently updated your iOS Simulator to iOS 15, you may have encountered a peculiar issue: pressing the 'Home' button causes the didChangePlatformBrightness() function to fire twice. This problem can disrupt the user experience and lead to unexpected behavior in your applications. In this guide, we'll explore the root of this problem and provide a clear solution to manage the changes effectively.

Understanding the Problem

When you press the 'Home' button in the iOS Simulator, the app's state changes, triggering the platform brightness change method. This can lead to issues, such as receiving multiple notifications for state changes when the app is already running. Here's a quick breakdown of the situation:

The didChangePlatformBrightness() function is invoked more than once when 'Home' is pressed.

This behavior is specific to the iOS 15 Simulator; Android works fine without any such problems.

It raises concerns about how colors are managed within the app after a state change.

Given this, developers often think about disabling this check while the app is running, but there is a more effective solution.

The Solution: Monitoring App Lifecycle State

The key to solving this problem is monitoring the App Lifecycle State. By checking whether the app is currently in the resumed state, you can cleanly manage the brightness changes without unwanted duplication. If the app is resumed, you have the option to reset the color scheme appropriately. Here’s how to implement this solution:

Step-by-Step Implementation

Override the didChangePlatformBrightness() method in your app.

Check the app state using the appState variable.

If the state is resumed, proceed with the necessary color scheme changes; otherwise, simply let it be.

Example Code Snippet

Here's a practical example of how to implement the solution in your Flutter application:

How It Works

The code checks if the app is active (AppLifecycleState.resumed).

If so, it executes the showThemeChangeWarning() method, alerting users to the color changes, and subsequently sets the new color scheme with setColorScheme().

If the app is not in the resumed state, it does nothing, preventing unwanted behavior from occurring.

Conclusion

By utilizing the app lifecycle management to monitor the state of your Flutter application, you can effectively handle the brightness change issue triggered by the iOS 15 Simulator. This solution not only enhances user experience by avoiding repetitive notifications but also streamlines the color scheme management process.

Implement this approach in your Flutter project and watch your app handle the brightness changes seamlessly without unnecessary hiccups. If you encounter any further issues or have your own tips, feel free to share them in the comments below!
