Remote DAEMON App Improvements: Authentication, Updates & More
What developments have taken place today?
This commit series focused on improving the Remote DAEMON application’s core functionalities related to user authentication, device management, and software updates. Key improvements include strengthening backend integration for device token handling through enhanced API communication and session management, implementing robust error handling during login processes, and introducing a dedicated update mechanism with visual feedback for users.
Specifically, the AuthNotifier now reliably sends device tokens upon successful login using an integrated ApiClient and deviceIDGenerator. The DeviceService ensures proper removal of device tokens on logout. A new WebsiteCheckGraphService retrieves website status data dynamically, including error reporting and update notifications. A dedicated “Update Screen” allows users to download newer application versions, accompanied by a detailed “Website Detail Screen” showcasing download progress and any encountered errors.
Furthermore, the login screen has been overhauled with Riverpod state management for improved responsiveness and user experience. The addition of loginLoadingProvider prevents duplicate button presses during network requests while providing visual feedback. A loginErrorProvider manages and displays error messages effectively, coupled with validation to ensure required fields are populated. The use of an AuthApi class facilitates streamlined HTTP communication using the io_client. Finally, dependency updates, including significant upgrades to Android SDKs and Flutter packages like flutter_downloader, enhance stability and leverage improved features within the application’s ecosystem.
In summary, these changes significantly bolster the app’s backend architecture, provide a more user-friendly login experience, streamline the update process, and ensure overall system reliability through comprehensive error handling and dependency management.
