💡 Motivation and Context

This assumed we’ve pulled in Android 4.0

PostHogConfig.onFeatureFlags was a void Function() and reloadFeatureFlags() returned Future<void>, so Flutter apps couldn't tell what loaded or whether loading failed. posthog-ios 4.0 passes this to its listener and reload callback (PostHog/posthog-ios#897, #913), posthog-android 4.0 gets the same (PostHog/posthog-android#877), and posthog-js already passes it to onFeatureFlags.

Closes #231

Both now carry a new PostHogFeatureFlagsLoaded:

Field	Meaning
flags	keys of the enabled flags
variants	enabled flag → true or the variant string; disabled flags left out
errorsLoading	true when the latest load failed; the values are then the last known ones

Per platform:

Platform	onFeatureFlags	reloadFeatureFlags()
iOS/macOS	from posthog-ios onFeatureFlags	from posthog-ios reloadFeatureFlags(_:)
Android	from posthog-android PostHogFeatureFlagsCallback	from posthog-android reloadFeatureFlags
Web	from posthog-js onFeatureFlags	posthog-js 1.438.2+: awaits featureFlags.reloadFeatureFlagsAsync(), which settles after this reload's own request (not one already in flight); errorsLoading unless it loaded. Older posthog-js: the next onFeatureFlags call, with a timeout of twice feature_flag_request_timeout_ms
Windows/Linux	from the Dart core	awaits the Dart core's reload

fromMap stays internal (channel_serialization.dart), in line with #646.

Breaking: onFeatureFlags = () { … } becomes (loaded) { … } or (_) { … }. Callers of reloadFeatureFlags() are unaffected; custom platform interface implementations must return the new type.

Depends on #663 (posthog-android 4.0). The Android code is written against the PostHogFeatureFlagsLoaded posthog-android 4.0 adds, which is still in review, so this stays a draft until that API is final.

💚 How did you test it?

• flutter analyze, flutter test (1258 pass), dart format, scripts/check-api-dart.sh (snapshot updated).
• New tests: the method channel passes native flags to the callback and drops disabled ones; malformed native args give empty flags; on desktop, reloadFeatureFlags() returns the loaded flags, and after a failed request returns the last known flags with errorsLoading: true, as does onFeatureFlags. The desktop test fails when errorsLoading is hardcoded to false.
• flutter build ios --simulator against a local posthog-ios 4.0 checkout (temporary .package(path:), reverted), and flutter build web.
• Web (Chrome): reloadFeatureFlags awaits reloadFeatureFlagsAsync() when present and reports errorsLoading when posthog-js skips the request; the first test fails without that path.
• Not yet built: Android, until posthog-android 4.0 exists locally.

🤖 Agent context

Autonomy: Human-driven (agent-assisted)

Claude Code (Claude Opus 5.5) made this as part of the feature flag parity work across the iOS, Android and Flutter majors. The field names mirror posthog-ios's PostHogFeatureFlagsLoaded. For web reloadFeatureFlags(), waiting only for the next posthog-js onFeatureFlags call could return a response from a request already in flight, and never fires when posthog-js skips the request, so newer posthog-js uses reloadFeatureFlagsAsync() and older versions keep that path behind a timeout.

P2 · Allow supported retries to finish before reporting failure

When posthog-js retries a timed-out request, two request timeouts plus its retry backoff exceed this deadline. A successful retry then arrives after Flutter has returned cached flags with errorsLoading: true, violating the completion contract required by AGENTS.md. Account for configured retries and backoff before applying the fallback.
