phone_state

DESCRIPTION

This plugin allows you to know quickly and easily if your Android or iOS device is receiving a call and to know the status of the call.

• Native Android: TelephonyManager
• Native iOS: CallKit

PAY ATTENTION

• In the iOS simulator doesn't work
• The caller phone number is only available on Android, not iOS
• This plugin reports phone call state only. It does not answer, reject, end, or record calls, and it does not change whether other packages can capture call audio.
• Android detects system telephony call state only. Third-party VoIP calls from apps such as Telegram or WhatsApp are not supported. iOS CallKit behavior can differ by app.
• The iOS implementation uses CallKit. For apps distributed in regions where CallKit is restricted, including China App Store review contexts, confirm availability and territory rules with Apple before submission.
• PhoneState.stream requires the app process to be running with an active Flutter engine and listener. It does not send callbacks after the app is terminated.
• On Android, if PhoneState.stream does not emit, confirm READ_PHONE_STATE is declared and granted at runtime. Some OEM battery or background restrictions, including MIUI settings on Xiaomi devices, can also delay or block callbacks.

HOW TO INSTALL

Flutter

Note: This version requires Flutter >= 3.44.0 and Dart >= 3.12.2. Add phone_state to your app's pubspec.yaml, not to this package's pubspec.yaml. Your app/package name must be different from phone_state.

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter
  phone_state: 4.0.1

Android: Added permission on manifest

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG" />

READ_PHONE_STATE is required. READ_CALL_LOG is optional and only needed for caller phone numbers.

Warning: Adding READ_CALL_LOG permission, your app will be removed from the Play Store if you don't have a valid reason to use it. Read more.

Troubleshooting package conflicts

If phone_state stops receiving updates after adding another package:

• Confirm the required Android runtime permissions are granted before listening. READ_PHONE_STATE is required, and READ_CALL_LOG is only needed for caller phone numbers.
• Keep a single active PhoneState.stream listener for each app flow. Cancel the previous subscription before starting another one when screens, services, or background handlers change.
• When reporting a conflict, include the other package names, platform versions, a minimal reproduction, and the relevant Flutter, Logcat, or Xcode logs.
