feat(passkeys_doctor): widen package_info_plus to >=9.0.0 <11.0.0 (closes #240)

[gbpnkans]

Summary

Bumps passkeys_doctor 1.3.1 → 1.4.0 with the package_info_plus constraint widened from ^9.0.0 to >=9.0.0 <11.0.0. This is the smallest possible change that unblocks the entire downstream win32 ^6 chain (share_plus 13, flutter_secure_storage_windows 4.2.x, package_info_plus 10) for apps that depend on passkeys.

Closes #240.

Why this is API-safe

passkeys_doctor uses package_info_plus in exactly one place:

// packages/passkeys/passkeys_doctor/lib/src/passkeys_doctor.dart::_getBundleId
final info = await PackageInfo.fromPlatform();
return info.packageName;

PackageInfo.fromPlatform() and the packageName getter have been stable since the 1.x line. The breaking changes in package_info_plus 10.0.0 are entirely in the Windows platform implementation (moves to a win32 ^6 method channel) and do not touch the public API.

Keeping the lower bound at 9.0.0 so existing consumers on package_info_plus 9.x are not forced to upgrade.

Why this matters downstream

package_info_plus 9 depends on win32 ^5.5.3. With passkeys_doctor pinned to package_info_plus ^9.0.0, every Flutter app that depends on passkeys is held on win32 5.x. Recent ecosystem releases — share_plus 13.1.0, flutter_secure_storage_windows 4.2.x, the actual win32 6.2.0 release — all require win32 ^6.0.1. Net effect: any app using passkeys can't pick up the CryptProtectData / LocalFree typing fixes that landed in win32 6 for Windows desktop.

After this change, the parent passkeys package already accepts passkeys_doctor: ^1.3.0 (i.e. <2.0.0), so once 1.4.0 ships to pub.dev no version bump is needed in the passkeys package itself.

Verified locally

• flutter pub get in packages/passkeys/passkeys_doctor resolves cleanly and now pulls in win32 6.2.0 transitively.
• flutter analyze in packages/passkeys/passkeys_doctor → No issues found.

Changes

• packages/passkeys/passkeys_doctor/pubspec.yaml: version + constraint
• packages/passkeys/passkeys_doctor/CHANGELOG.md: 1.4.0 entry

Test plan

• flutter pub get resolves with widened constraint
• flutter analyze clean
• Maintainer verifies CI on the workflow runs

Thanks for putting this together. We independently confirmed it works: forcing package_info_plus 10.1.0 (via dependency_overrides) alongside passkeys 2.19.0 resolves cleanly and runs fine, which matches your note that the 10.0.0 changes are Windows-only and leave the public API untouched. Would love to see this reviewed and passkeys_doctor 1.4.0 released so we can drop the override. Happy to test a pre-release if that helps.

Thank you for confirming, will try to get it out shortly. @gbpnkans @TimGustafson

Thanks for maintaining the package. I still do not understand why software development is still slow in this era ? What is blocking to merge ? Been on this stage for more than 3 weeks.

Sorry for the delay @gbpnkans you are right, we just released the changes.
