- The session counter is removed before
requestReview()runs. When the install is not eligible, the review is unavailable, or the native call throws,requestReview()returns false and no prompt was shown, but the user must complete another five qualifying sessions before another attempt. Retain a retryable counter when the request returns false and clear it only after a successful request; update the accompanying test expectation accordingly.
await _storage.remove(_sessionsKey);
await requestReview();
lib/features/vpn/provider/vpn_notifier.dart:97
- Initial hydration does not go through this listener:
_hydrateInitialStatus()assignsstate = VPNStatus.connecteddirectly. If the app starts while the VPN is already connected and noconnectedAtvalue exists, disconnecting later has no session start to measure and silently drops that session, so it can never qualify. RecordonConnected()in the hydration success path as well.
unawaited(_ratingPrompt?.onConnected());
lib/features/vpn/provider/vpn_notifier.dart:152
- This finalizes the rating session before
stopVPN()reports whether the native stop succeeded. When the stop fails, the VPN remains connected but this call has already removed the start time and counted the session, so a retry cannot record the session correctly. Finalize it only after a successful stop or a confirmed disconnected transition.
if (state == VPNStatus.connected) {
unawaited(_ratingPrompt?.onUserDisconnected());
return stopVPN();
lib/features/vpn/provider/vpn_notifier.dart:152
- Not all user-facing disconnects reach this hook: the system-tray toggle calls
vpnProvider.notifier.stopVPN()directly (lib/features/system_tray/provider/system_tray_notifier.dart:115-116). Its later disconnected status only invokesonDisconnected(), which clears the start without counting it, so qualifying sessions ended from the tray are silently excluded. Route user-facing stop paths through the rating hook or pass an explicit user-initiated flag.
unawaited(_ratingPrompt?.onUserDisconnected());
return stopVPN();
lib/features/vpn/provider/vpn_notifier.dart:151
- This branch can be entered more than once while the state is still
connected: the switch invokes the async handler without awaiting it, and the Dart state is not changed todisconnectingsynchronously. Two rapid taps can therefore read the same_connectedAtbefore either removal completes, count one physical session twice, and issue multiple stop requests. Add an in-flight/idempotent guard around user-disconnect accounting.
unawaited(_ratingPrompt?.onUserDisconnected());
lib/features/vpn/provider/vpn_notifier.dart:151
- Android's Quick Settings tile is another user-triggered disconnect path, but it calls native
stopVPNdirectly instead of this notifier method (android/app/src/main/kotlin/org/getlantern/lantern/service/QuickTileService.kt:106-139). Sessions ended from the tile therefore only reachonDisconnectedand are never counted, so those mobile users cannot reach the fifth-session prompt. Route that path through an explicit user-disconnect signal or persist the intent natively.

In `@lib/core/services/rating_prompt_service.dart`:
- Line 36: Update the startup VPN-status reconciliation in RatingPromptService
so a confirmed disconnected result clears the stale _connectedAt value, while a
confirmed connected result preserves it. Ensure this initialization path
compensates for VpnNotifier’s first-event behavior without changing normal
connection/disconnection lifecycle handling.
In `@lib/features/vpn/provider/vpn_notifier.dart`:
- Line 151: Update VpnNotifier.onVPNStateChange so user-disconnect intent is
retained until a confirmed VPNStatus.disconnected transition after stopVPN
completes, then consume it exactly once. Use onDisconnected() for disconnects
that do not qualify for user-disconnected session recording, and avoid invoking
onUserDisconnected() before disconnect confirmation.

Record user-disconnected sessions only after confirmed disconnect.
VpnNotifier.onVPNStateChange() starts onUserDisconnected() before it awaits stopVPN(). onUserDisconnected() removes _connectedAt and can count the session before disconnect confirmation. On iOS, stopTunnel() can fail before calling stopVPNTunnel(), leaving the connection active while returning STOP_FAILED.
Keep the user-disconnect intent in VpnNotifier. Consume it once after the VPNStatus.disconnected transition. Use onDisconnected() for non-qualifying disconnects.

This pull request introduces a new in-app rating prompt feature that encourages users to rate the app after a certain number of qualifying sessions. The implementation includes a new service for managing rating prompts, integration with the VPN connection flow to track user sessions, developer tooling for manual testing, dependency updates, and corresponding unit tests.
Rating prompt feature implementation:
RatingPromptServiceinlib/core/services/rating_prompt_service.dartthat tracks user VPN sessions and triggers the native in-app review prompt after 5 qualifying sessions of 30+ seconds, only on store builds. The service handles session persistence, duration checks, and safely requests reviews via thein_app_reviewpackage.RatingPromptServiceas a singleton in the dependency injection container (lib/core/services/injection_container.dart). [1] [2]Integration with VPN session flow:
RatingPromptServiceinto the VPN lifecycle inVpnNotifier(lib/features/vpn/provider/vpn_notifier.dart), calling its methods on connect, disconnect, and user-triggered disconnect events to track and qualify sessions for the rating prompt. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]Developer tooling:
lib/features/developer/developer_mode.dart) to bypass the session counter and test the in-app review prompt directly. [1] [2] [3] [4]Dependency and platform updates:
