daylight_camera

The in-app camera of SocialScoreKeeper: AVFoundation on iOS, CameraX on Android, driven from Dart through one Pigeon contract. It is built for SocialScoreKeeper first and published under the MIT license.

This is the plugin's scaffold. Its host API has one method, warmUp(), which the native sides answer without camera work yet; the full contract and the capture engines arrive in later releases.

Platforms

	Minimum	Toolchain
iOS	18.0	Swift 6 language mode; Swift Package Manager (ios/daylight_camera/Package.swift) and CocoaPods (ios/daylight_camera.podspec) build the same sources
Android	API 24	CameraX 1.6.2 on every androidx.camera artifact; AGP 9, the Kotlin Gradle Plugin is never applied by the module

Using it

SocialScoreKeeper pins it by commit:

daylight_camera:
  git:
    url: https://github.com/DayLight-Creative-Technologies/daylight_camera.git
    ref: <full commit SHA with a green CI run>

final camera = DaylightCamera();
await camera.warmUp();

DaylightCamera holds no state: each method makes one host-API call, and a native error arrives as a PlatformException.

Changing the contract

pigeons/daylight_camera_api.dart is the only Pigeon input. After editing it, run tool/generate_pigeon.sh and commit the regenerated Dart, Swift and Kotlin with it. Host methods use @asyncCallback: Pigeon 29's @async Swift output does not compile in the Swift 6 language mode.

Checks

CI (.github/workflows/ci.yml) runs every job on every push, and all of them are required:

Job	What it runs
Dart analyze	dart analyze --fatal-infos
Pigeon sync	tool/test_check_pigeon_sync.sh, then tool/check_pigeon_sync.sh: the committed generated files equal what the input generates
No lifecycle stop	tool/test_check_no_lifecycle_stop.sh, then tool/check_no_lifecycle_stop.sh: no native code observes the app going to the background (the Dart side owns that stop)
Riverpod scanner	riverpod-3-scanner over lib/
Flutter test	flutter test
iOS XCTest	the example app's RunnerTests on an iOS Simulator
Android unit tests	./gradlew :daylight_camera:testDebugUnitTest in example/android

SocialScoreKeeper refuses to pin a commit unless all seven jobs passed on it, so renaming a job means updating that check too.
