Do we have to fork this project?

First, I appreciate the efforts of the maintainers and the owner of this repository. However, I have noticed that several development tools related to this package have changed, as well as operating systems. Therefore, it is crucial to update this package. Unfortunately, the maintainer of this package seems very busy now. Would it be better to fork this package?

There are some forked or similar plugins already. I found below plugins:

  • flutter_native_badge Code and interfaces looks nice. The only federated plugin.
  • app_badge_plus Born very recently. Seems to modernize this plugin by whole rewritten. It keeps old Android support.
  • flutter_app_badge A fork of this and simply remove old Android support. But still don't have privacy manifest for iOS.

I'll choose flutter_native_badge because it seems to be easy for maintenance. I don't need old Android support and the author's response is very nice (I requested privacy manifest support recently and it has been implemented same day).

app_badge_plus is maybe good alternative If you need old Android support.
