PackageInfo Plugin for NativePHP Mobile

A NativePHP Mobile plugin that provides an API for querying application package information — similar to Flutter's package_info_plus.

Installation

composer require codingwithrk/package-info

The service provider is auto-discovered by Laravel.

Usage

Via Facade

use Codingwithrk\PackageInfo\Facades\PackageInfo;

$info = PackageInfo::getInfo();

if ($info) {
    echo $info->appName;        // "My App"
    echo $info->packageName;    // "com.example.myapp"
    echo $info->version;        // "1.2.3"
    echo $info->buildNumber;    // "42"
    echo $info->installerStore; // "com.android.vending" (Android) or "" (iOS)
}

getInfo() returns null when called outside a NativePHP Mobile environment.

Returned Data

getInfo() returns a PackageInfoData value object with the following properties:

Property	Type	Description
appName	string	Human-readable application name
packageName	string	Unique app identifier (bundle ID on iOS, application ID on Android)
version	string	Marketing version string (e.g. "1.2.3")
buildNumber	string	Build/version code as a string (e.g. "42")
installerStore	string	Package name of the installing store, or empty string if unknown/not applicable

You can also convert the data to an array:

$array = $info->toArray();
// ['appName' => '...', 'packageName' => '...', 'version' => '...', 'buildNumber' => '...', 'installerStore' => '...']

Listening for Events

After getInfo() successfully retrieves data, a PackageInfoRetrieved event is dispatched. You can listen for it in a Livewire component using the #[OnNative] attribute:

use Codingwithrk\PackageInfo\Events\PackageInfoRetrieved;
use Codingwithrk\PackageInfo\PackageInfoData;
use Native\Mobile\Attributes\OnNative;

#[OnNative(PackageInfoRetrieved::class)]
public function handlePackageInfoRetrieved(PackageInfoData $info): void
{
    $this->appName     = $info->appName;
    $this->version     = $info->version;
    $this->buildNumber = $info->buildNumber;
}
