Resolves#128046.
Adds a services API that allows flutter app developers to write app code that determines `--flavor` the app was built with.
This is implemented by having the tool adding the value of `--flavor` to its list of dart environment declarations, which will be available to the app at run time. Specifically,`FLUTTER_APP_FLAVOR` is set. I chose this implementation for its simplicity. There is some precedent for this, but only for web ([example](cd2f3f5e78/packages/flutter_tools/lib/src/runner/flutter_command.dart (L1231))).
Mostly tweaks for better focus management, namely:
* Use `autofocus` throughout so the a11y focus is transferred to a logical place when overlaid content pops up (screen transitions, dialogs).
* Consolidate "enabled" and "disabled" widgets into the same screen. Otherwise, when only a disabled widget is shown, there's nothing to focus on and the screen reader is lost.
This PR fixes yet another case in the windows startup test that violates the render rule, which caused https://github.com/flutter/engine/pull/45300 to be reverted.
Although the `FlutterView.render` call is within `onBeginFrame`, there is an `await` before the call, causing the call to fall out of the synchronous scope.
I've added this problem to the documentation of `FlutterView.render` in https://github.com/flutter/engine/pull/45555.
## Description
This removes all of the comments that are of the form "so-and-so must not be null" or "so-and-so must be non-null" from the cases where those values are defines as non-nullable values.
This PR removes them from the library in the repo that don't have anything to do with the framework.
This was done by hand, since it really didn't lend itself to scripting, so it needs to be more than just spot-checked, I think. I was careful to leave any comment that referred to parameters that were nullable, but I may have missed some.
In addition to being no longer relevant after null safety has been made the default, these comments were largely fragile, in that it was easy for them to get out of date, and not be accurate anymore anyhow.
This did create a number of constructor comments which basically say "Creates a [Foo].", but I don't really know how to avoid that in a large scale change, since there's not much you can really say in a lot of cases. I think we might consider some leniency for constructors to the "Comment must be meaningful" style guidance (which we de facto have already, since there are a bunch of these).

Xcode uses the CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR build setting to determine the location of the bundle to build and install. When launching an app via Xcode with the Xcode debug workflow (for iOS 17 physical devices), temporarily set the CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR to the location of the bundle so Xcode can find it.
Also, added a Xcode Debug version of the `microbenchmarks_ios` integration test since it uses `flutter run --profile` without using `--use-application-binary`.
Fixes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/134186.
Support for FFI calls with `@Native external` functions through Native assets on MacOS and iOS. This enables bundling native code without any build-system boilerplate code.
For more info see:
* https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/129757
### Implementation details for MacOS and iOS.
Dylibs are bundled by (1) making them fat binaries if multiple architectures are targeted, (2) code signing these, and (3) copying them to the frameworks folder. These steps are done manual rather than via CocoaPods. CocoaPods would have done the same steps, but (a) needs the dylibs to be there before the `xcodebuild` invocation (we could trick it, by having a minimal dylib in the place and replace it during the build process, that works), and (b) can't deal with having no dylibs to be bundled (we'd have to bundle a dummy dylib or include some dummy C code in the build file).
The dylibs are build as a new target inside flutter assemble, as that is the moment we know what build-mode and architecture to target.
The mapping from asset id to dylib-path is passed in to every kernel compilation path. The interesting case is hot-restart where the initial kernel file is compiled by the "inner" flutter assemble, while after hot restart the "outer" flutter run compiled kernel file is pushed to the device. Both kernel files need to contain the mapping. The "inner" flutter assemble gets its mapping from the NativeAssets target which builds the native assets. The "outer" flutter run get its mapping from a dry-run invocation. Since this hot restart can be used for multiple target devices (`flutter run -d all`) it contains the mapping for all known targets.
### Example vs template
The PR includes a new template that uses the new native assets in a package and has an app importing that. Separate discussion in: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/131209.
### Tests
This PR adds new tests to cover the various use cases.
* dev/devicelab/bin/tasks/native_assets_ios.dart
* Runs an example app with native assets in all build modes, doing hot reload and hot restart in debug mode.
* dev/devicelab/bin/tasks/native_assets_ios_simulator.dart
* Runs an example app with native assets, doing hot reload and hot restart.
* packages/flutter_tools/test/integration.shard/native_assets_test.dart
* Runs (incl hot reload/hot restart), builds, builds frameworks for iOS, MacOS and flutter-tester.
* packages/flutter_tools/test/general.shard/build_system/targets/native_assets_test.dart
* Unit tests the new Target in the backend.
* packages/flutter_tools/test/general.shard/ios/native_assets_test.dart
* packages/flutter_tools/test/general.shard/macos/native_assets_test.dart
* Unit tests the native assets being packaged on a iOS/MacOS build.
It also extends various existing tests:
* dev/devicelab/bin/tasks/module_test_ios.dart
* Exercises the add2app scenario.
* packages/flutter_tools/test/general.shard/features_test.dart
* Unit test the new feature flag.
Fixes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/89683.
The changes to `getFlutterView` in `FlutterDeviceScreenshot` are the fix that was required, everything else was done to get tests running (such as re-generating some lockfiles and modifying the android manifest).
The code was all currently not unit tested, and there were no other easy examples to base these java unit tests off in flutter/flutter, so let me know if this approach to testing is wrong.
Resolves#134070
Adds a flag to the `test_runner.dart test` script that will cause the test runner to exit upon first failure (or, said another way, exit without retrying).
This is in parity with the `--exit` flag of `dev/devicelab/bin/run.dart`.
Fixes#134154
This PR also changes the default value of the `--exit` flag from `true` to `false`. Effectively, this is not a change in behavior since `--exit` didn't previously work.
## Description
This fixes the top level links to the platform embedders in the README that is used to create the landing page on https://master-api.flutter.dev
Fixes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/133790
Provides help text for the `--task-args` option of the `test_runner` devicelab command. The current help text is just copypasta from another option's help text

Some places where we are missing a forward of the `--local-engine-host` values in the benchmark code preventing local running of the benchmarks (does not affect CI usages which don't override local engine).
Add benchmarks that measure the overhead of the benchmark harness itself. We want the overhead to be minimal. Also, these numbers are useful to judge the quality of real benchmarks. If a real benchmark's result is too close to the harness overhead, then it's likely not measuring enough of useful work.
