[Feature]: Linux Support

[chipweinberger]

What is your feature request?

Add Linux support to FBP

[chipweinberger]

@tnc1997 recently created a PR for Linux: #969

However, the official FBP repo (this one) plans to remain Android/iOS/Mac-only for the time being.

If you want to develop Linux support, you should create a wrapper like we have for Windows (example: https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_blue_plus_windows)

I'll keep this issue open until someone creates a wrapper for Linux.

As I understood you do not what any other platforms due to harder to maintain it

If you want to develop Linux support, you should create a wrapper like we have for Windows (example: https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_blue_plus_windows)

But than you write that you will leave it open for futher implementation of Linux ?!

[chipweinberger]

Someone else can implement it & maintain it. Then I will link to it in the README.

Just like we did for Windows support.

An in development fork of Flutter Blue Plus that supports Linux using a platform interface is available here.

Please note that this unofficial fork is not endorsed by Chip Weinberger and is supported on a best efforts basis.

I would like to thank Chip Weinberger for their ongoing work on the existing Android/iOS/macOS package.

@tnc1997 's fork is now the official solution for for linux, web, & generic platform interface support.

Please start using it. Eventually the goal is to merge.
