The OpenSky "Default bounding box" now follows where flying happens. A new "Automatic" picker mode (the default) resolves the live-map area from a location cascade — drone telemetry → phone GPS → browser geolocation → the user's Region country → Europe — instead of a fixed box. Manual presets and Custom coordinates still work. - Web App: new shared countries.js dataset (all countries + bbox, offline point→country); the bbox picker gains all European countries and an Automatic option (client pref prefs.autoBbox); the Region setting expands from 6 locale entries to all countries; the live map resolves the cascade each poll and sends it as ?bbox=. - API Server: the states endpoint accepts and validates a ?bbox= override (validBBox); the Web App BFF forwards the query; the hub relays new phoneLatitude/phoneLongitude telemetry to the Web App. - Fly App: reports the phone's own GPS (geolocator) alongside telemetry, used as the "your location" fallback. - API panel: the OpenSky bbox picker lists all European countries. Builds verified across web, panel, both Go modules and the Fly App APK. Region list, Automatic default and the cascade ?bbox= override verified in the browser.

DJI MSDK Sample (Flutter)
A sample app demonstrating how to drive the DJI Mobile SDK V4 from Flutter.
DJI does not ship an official Flutter SDK — the Mobile SDK is a native Android/iOS library. This project therefore puts a Flutter UI on top of a thin native Android (Kotlin) bridge that talks to the DJI MSDK over platform channels. It covers the core "sample app" flow: SDK registration, product connection, and live telemetry (battery, GPS, flight status).
Android only. The DJI MSDK V4 native libraries here are wired up for Android. iOS would need a parallel Swift/Obj-C bridge (and a Mac to build).

Prerequisites
- Flutter (stable) and Android SDK with a connected Android device (the DJI SDK does not work on emulators).
- A DJI drone + remote controller supported by MSDK V4 (Phantom 4, Mavic 2 / Air / Mini 1, Spark, Inspire 2, etc.). The RC connects to the phone over USB.
- A DJI App Key (see below).
Set your DJI App Key
SDK registration will fail without a valid App Key bound to this app's application id.
-
Sign in at https://developer.dji.com/user/apps/ and create a new app.
- Package name must be exactly:
com.dji.flutter.dji_msdk_sample - SDK: Mobile SDK
- Package name must be exactly:
-
Copy the generated App Key.
-
Paste it into
android/gradle.properties:DJI_API_KEY=your_real_app_key_hereThe key is injected into
AndroidManifest.xmlat build time via amanifestPlaceholder(com.dji.sdk.API_KEY).
Run
flutter pub get
flutter run # device must be plugged in
# or just build the APK:
flutter build apk --debug
Using the app
- Launch it and grant the location / phone / mic permissions it requests.
- Tap Register app — needs internet on first run; status turns green on success.
- Connect the drone's remote controller to the phone over USB and power on the aircraft. The app auto-starts a connection on successful registration; you can also tap Connect to product.
- Once an aircraft connects, the Telemetry card streams battery %, GPS satellite count, flight mode, altitude, and position.
Notes & gotchas
- MSDK V4 version is pinned to
4.18(com.dji:dji-sdk/dji-sdk-provided). android.enableJetifier=trueis required — the SDK still uses legacy support libraries.- The native
.sofiles are kept unstripped and de-duplicated via thepackaging { }block inandroid/app/build.gradle; onlyarmeabi-v7aandarm64-v8aABIs are bundled (the only ABIs DJI provides). - This sample uses the core SDK, not the DJI UX SDK (its native UI widgets don't embed cleanly in Flutter).
