Is this plugin not supported anymore? #295

Hi guys,

please elaborate on whether this plugin is still suported.

There are at least two pending pull requests which fix crashing this plugin on Android 12 devices. Pull requests pass tests and community has confirmed that they work.

Given that the last commit to the repository was in July, please indicate whether you are still invested in handling the plugin or should someone else from the community fork it and take over. It's a great plugin and it would be a shame should it go to waste.

I agree. I'm wondering if this repository will be maintained in the future, and who the maintainer is (or is not) now. Based on the responses to this issue, the community can decide whether to fork this repository or help maintain it.

Sadly right now I don't have any time to spare, maybe in the near future I can contribute to the project regularly.

I might have some time this weekend to look into some PRs.

@mehdok Thank you for your time and reply! I understand the situation, and I hope you are not overwhelmed (Sorry for my cheap English). Thank you once again for your great work 👍

@mehdok what's the curent status? It would be good to know whether or not we can expect updates to this project in the future. Thanks!

Just in case, I made a working version of this repo on this fork. It's kind of a compilation of the actual pull requests. I hope it helps someone and I hope it's working fine for anyone using it

With the release of flutter 3.x.x there are even more pull requests that need attention. Forking the project is fine, but we would all benefit greatly if all relevant pull requests, that are really needed in production, are available from pub.dev.

Everything else just feels like hacking an unsupported project.
