Validated with static signed-APK inspection, all 44 Flutter tests, the smartphone catalog on a Samsung S24 Ultra, and a complete Android Auto DHU browse/Worldwide/playback test.

Highlights

  • Fully reworked Android Auto playback controls, queue handling, preparation,
    favorite actions, category icons, loading states, and MediaSession behavior.
  • Added higher-resolution station artwork discovery from official homepages,
    with deterministic KDE-style initials for missing or low-quality logos.
  • Added Radio Browser node discovery, retry/failover, failed-node cooldown, and
    a persistent last-known-good country cache.
  • Added localized German and Dutch country names throughout the Flutter catalog
    and Android Auto Worldwide.

Fixes

  • Prevented stale ICY titles and delayed cover-art results from a previous
    station from appearing after a station change.
  • Fixed transient Radio Browser HTTP 503 failures when another node or cached
    country data is available.
  • Fixed Android Auto Play, Pause, Stop, Next, Previous, station switching, and
    active media-app behavior.

Verification

  • All 44 Flutter tests pass.
  • Flutter analysis reports no issues.
  • Android Auto changes passed DHU and real-vehicle testing.
  • The APK is signed with the BearWave release certificate.
