This private constructor and the fromMap method could be refactored further, probably, but I didn't do it yet. At least I marked this constructor as private now, which shouldn't be used outside the plugin.

The original toMap disappears and now instead the data returned by the platform channel is returned. Rather than re-creating the map out of the class data, we return the same data the Android code created, which should be 100% serializable.

With dart plugins, they can implement the BaseDeviceInfo directly but still need to provide the data. At the moment, there's no warranty that the data is serializable, but that's out of scope for this PR.

Sorry, switching back to draft, need to do some fixes |

Any new platform implementing deviceInfo() can now return a generic BaseDeviceInfo with some data
| Future<AndroidDeviceInfo> androidInfo() { | ||
| throw UnimplementedError('androidInfo() has not been implemented.'); | ||
| } | ||

All platform specific methods are now replaced by a single deviceInfo() making the platform interface generic
| Future<BaseDeviceInfo> deviceInfo() async { | ||
| return BaseDeviceInfo( | ||
| (await channel.invokeMethod('getDeviceInfo')).cast<String, dynamic>()); |

Platform channels should respond to getDeviceInfo now

The suggested way seems Ok to me. Like that the platform interface is generic 👍🏻 |

Description
This PR contains a refactor of the platform implementation of
device_info_plus.The main idea is to make the
device_info_plus_platform_interaceas generic as possible.To do that, the
DeviceInfoPlatformnow contains a single methoddeviceInfo().Any platform implementation can implement it, either with a Dart plugin (like Linux, Windows and Web) or through a platform channel like Android, iOS and macOS implementing the
getDeviceInfoplatform channel method.The trick is that now
BaseDeviceInfoalways contains some data, either because it is returned by the platform channel from native code (like iOS, Android and macOS, or is overridden by the Dart implementation (like Linux, Windows and Web).This change should be transparent to users (the example code wasn't even changed), however, this PR has been marked as breaking change due to the changes in the platform channels.
Finally, the plugin exposes a
datamethod as replacement for thetoMapin theBaseDeviceInfo. This data may not be serializable for dart plugins, but at least it will be there.With this change, devs can now also add new properties to any of the
***DeviceInfoimplementations without having to touch the platform interface package at all.Related Issues
