Origin

Originally, this plugin was based on screen.
Specifically, the wakelock functionality was extracted into this plugin due to lack of maintenance by the author of the screen plugin.

Today, the wakelock plugin has been completely refreshed (using latest Flutter standards and platform integration) with added support for web, Windows, & macOS.
