Description
🚨 IMPORTANT
This issue is likely user-facing in the main PostHog app, see surveyVersionRequirements.ts. If you delete or close this issue, be sure to update the version requirements list here.
Summary
The posthog-flutter SDK does not support cancellation events for surveys.
Current State
The browser SDK supports cancelEvents in survey conditions, which allows surveys to be dismissed when specific events occur. This feature is not available in posthog-flutter because the underlying native SDKs (posthog-ios and posthog-android) don't support it yet.
Expected Behavior
When a survey has conditions.cancelEvents.values configured with events, the SDK should:
- Listen for those events being captured
- Dismiss any active survey when a matching cancellation event is triggered
Dependencies
This feature requires implementation in the native SDKs first:
- posthog-ios: https://github.com/PostHog/posthog-ios/issues/450
- posthog-android: https://github.com/PostHog/posthog-android/issues/393
Reference Implementation
See posthog-js browser: packages/browser/src/extensions/surveys.ts
For mobile-specific patterns, see posthog-react-native: packages/react-native/src/surveys/getActiveMatchingSurveys.ts

Research direction
Start with the surveyVersionRequirements.ts entry in the main PostHog app and review the native dependency issues posthog-ios#450 and posthog-android#393. Compare the reference implementations in packages/browser/src/extensions/surveys.ts and packages/react-native/src/surveys/getActiveMatchingSurveys.ts. Done means posthog-flutter supports conditions.cancelEvents.values and dismisses active surveys for matching captured events after native SDK support exists.
