The very first time `pod install` is invoked, CocoaPods downloads the master spec repository, which takes quite a while. Before this change, the build appeared to have stalled. With this change, at least the spinner is moving.
Added `pod setup` to the install instructions for CocoaPods, so the spec repo is downloaded while setting up Flutter, instead of during the first build.
**THIS IS A BREAKING CHANGE.** See below for migration steps for
existing projects.
Previously, Flutter app code was built as a raw dylib on iOS. Dynamic
libraries outside of a framework bundle are not supported on iOS, except
for the system Swift libraries provided by Xcode.

* Migrates Xcode build from app.dylib to App.framework
* Migrates flutter create template
* Migrates example projects
Migration steps for existing projects
=====================================
The following steps should be taken from the root of your Flutter
project:
1. Edit `ios/.gitignore`: add `/Flutter/App.framework` on a new line.
2. In the Xcode project navigator, remove `app.dylib` from the Flutter
folder. Delete this file from the `ios/Flutter` directory in your project.
3. Run a build to generate `ios/Flutter/App.framework`. From the command
line, run `flutter build ios`. If you have not configured app signing
in Xcode, an alternative method is to open the simulator, then run
`flutter run -d iP`.
4. In the Xcode project navigator, select the `Runner` project. In the
project settings that are displayed in the main view, ensure that the
`Runner` target is selected. You can verify this by exposing the
sidebar using the [| ] icon in the upper-left corner of the main
view.
5. Select the *General* tab in the project settings. Under the
*Embedded Binaries* section, click '+' to add `App.framework`. In the
sheet that drops down, click the *Add Other...* button. Navigate to
the `ios/Flutter` directory and select `App.framework`. Click *Open*.
In the sheet that drops down, select *Create folder references*, then
click *Finish*.
6. In the project settings, verify that `App.framework` has been added to the
*Embedded Binaries* and *Linked Frameworks and Libraries* lists.
7. In the Xcode project navigator, drag `App.framework` under the
Flutter folder.
8. In the Xcode project navigator, select `Flutter` then from the
*File* menu, select *Add Files to "Runner"...*. Navigate to the
`ios/Flutter` directory, select `AppFrameworkInfo.plist` and click
the *Add* button.
9. From the command line, in your project directory, run
`flutter build clean`, then `flutter run`.
At this point your project should be fully migrated.
* Remove legacy .apk build.
Print out an error message telling the user to upgrade the project if
it's not Gradle-based. Removed all the obvious traces of the legacy
build.
Added support for Dart VM kernel snapshots in Gradle builds.
Fixed Android installs to verify that the app is actually installed, and
not just rely on the presence of the .sha1 file.
* Make ProcessSignals portable
This removes the need to wrap unsupported signals with in `if (!platform.isWindows) ..`.
It also allows us to implement a work around for breaking the Windows console when flutter is exited with Ctrl+C.
* review comments
* adding tests
* add license header
Changed the default build output directory in the new project template
to build/, instead of android/build/ and android/app/build/.
Updated tools to ask the Gradle scripts what the build directory is,
since this is configurable in the build scripts, and we need to know
where the build output actually is.
Silenced output from 'flutter build aot' when invoked from Gradle, since
the output was confusing in this case.
Fixes#8723Fixes#8656Fixes#8138
* Use snapshot's .d file as source inputs in Gradle build.
If we don't yet have a .d file (first build), fall back to using the
.dart files in the current directory. This enables us to detect changes
in dependent source files (Flutter framework, packages outside the
source directory, etc.), and re-generate the snapshots as needed.
Unfortunately, Gradle requires knowing the source files before executing
the task, and can't update them after building, so Gradle considers the
second build to be out-of-date (because it has more input files than the
first build). Sub-sequent builds have the correct dependency
information, and will be skipped if the source files haven't changed.
Also added a dependency on gen_snapshot. The snapshot ABI isn't stable,
so we need to re-generate the snapshots when we roll the Dart SDK
dependency.
Fixes#8315Fixes#8687Fixes#8607
* Enable Hot Reload on Windows (backed by gen_snapshot)
\o/
Two caveats:
* Hot Reload on Windows is slower than on other platforms because gen_snapshot is slower then sky_snapshot
* We currently cannot hot reload projects with spaces in the path
* enable tests
If a target file is specified on the flutter tools command line, pass it
through to Gradle.
It is still possible to statically specify a target file in the flutter
section of build.gradle, but it is now possible to specify it on the
command line as well. The command line option takes precedence.
Fixes#8175.
* Fix bug parsing Gradle version.
Version from pub_semver requires versions of the format X.Y.Z. Gradle
doesn't follow semantic versioning, though, so version parsing would
fail on versions like '3.2'. Fixed by writing a custom Version class.
Also removed a check for apksigner when building Gradle-based projects.
Fixes#8298
Artifacts are now located in a central place.
This will enable us to downlaod artifacts when we need them (instead of
downloading them all upfront).
This also makes replacing sky_snapshot with gen_snapshot easier.
On flutter run, we update ios/Flutter/Generated.xcconfig with various
Flutter-specific settings required by xcode_backend.sh during a build
from Xcode. These settings need to be present at the time the project is
loaded since Xcode doesn't pick up live updates to these files.
Without these settings, Xcode fails to locate xcode_backend.sh itself,
causing the build to fail until the Xcode project has been closed and
re-opened. This also prevents Xcode's project updater from 'helpfully'
suggesting to clean up and delete the Generated.xcconfig file.
