This PR introduces a `NativeAssetsManifest.json` next to the
`AssetManifest.bin` and `FontManifest.json`. This removes the need for
embedding the native assets mapping inside the kernel file and enables
decoupling native assets building and bundling from the kernel
compilation in flutter tools. This means `flutter run` no longer does a
dry run of `hook/build.dart` hooks.
(It also means all isolate groups will have the same native assets.
However, since Flutter does not support `Isolate.spawnUri` from kernel
files, this is not a regression.)
Implementation details:
* g3 is still using kernel embedding.
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/142016 introduced an argument to
embed a `native_assets.yaml` inside `flutter attach` and `flutter run`
(the outer flutter process), but it is not used in `flutter assemble`
(the inner process when doing `flutter run`). So, those arguments need
to still be respected. However, all other logic related to embedding a
yaml encoding in the kernel file has been removed.
* All dry-run logic has been removed. 🎉
* The `KernelSnapshot` target no longer depends on the
`InstallCodeAssets` target. Instead, the various OS-specific
"BundleAsset" targets now depend on the `InstallCodeAssets` target. The
`InstallCodeAssets` invokes the build hooks and produces the
`NativeAssetsManifest.json`. The various "BundleAsset" commands
synchronize the `NativeAssetsManifest.json` to the app bundle.
* `InstallCodeAssets` produces a `native_assets.json`, which is renamed
to `NativeAssetsManifest.json` in the various "Bundle" targets. This
means that all unit tests of the "Bundle" targets now need to create
this file. (Similar to how `app.dill` is expected to exist because
`KernelSnapshot` is a dependency of the "Bundle" targets.)
* Because dynamic libraries need to be code signed (at least on iOS and
MacOS), the bundling of the dylibs is _not_ migrated to reuse
`_updateDevFS` (which is used for ordinary assets). Only the 2nd and 3rd
invocation of `flutter assemble` from `xcodebuild` has access to the
code signing identity.
Relevant tests:
* test/integration.shard/isolated/native_assets_test.dart - runs
`flutter run` with native assets including hot restart and hot reload.
TODO:
* Undo engine-roll in this PR after engine has rolled in.

In the future, it will be possible for Swift Package Manager to be enabled on one but not all platforms (see https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/151567#issuecomment-2455941279).
This updates the `.flutter-plugin-dependencies` file format to separate iOS's and macOS's SwiftPM enablement. For now, these platforms will always have the same value.
This `.flutter-plugin-dependencies` file is read by our CocoaPods scripts to determine whether we should use CocoaPods or not to inject plugins.
Part of https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/151567
Work towards https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/157819. **No behavior changes as a result of this PR**.
Based on a proof of concept by @jonahwilliams (https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/157818).
The existence of this flag (which for the time being, defaults to `true`) implies the following:
1. The (legacy, deprecated) `.flutter-plugins` file is not generated:
https://docs.flutter.dev/release/breaking-changes/flutter-plugins-configuration
2. The (legacy, deprecated) `package:flutter_gen` is not synthetically generated:
https://github.com/flutter/website/pull/11343
(awaiting website approvers, but owners approve this change)
This change creates `useImplicitPubspecResolution` and plumbs it through as a required variable, parsing it from a `FlutterCommand.globalResults` where able. In tests, I've defaulted the value to `true` 100% of the time - except for places where the value itself is acted on directly, in which case there are true and false test-cases (e.g. localization and i10n based classes and functions).
I'm not extremely happy this needed to change 50+ files, but is sort of a result of how inter-connected many of the elements of the tools are. I believe keeping this as an explicit (flagged) argument will be our best way to ensure the default behavior changes consistently and that tests are running as expected.
When the `"${native_assets_path}"*.framework` glob doesn't resolve anything, the bash will run the loop once with the original unglobbed value: `/path/to/native/assets/*.framework`. Skip this case to prevent the build from failing when there are no frameworks to sign.
To reproduce this build failure:
1. Enable native assets in the Flutter tool: `flutter config --enable-native-assets`
2. Create a Flutter project with the default template: `flutter create test_native_assets`
3. Add a build hook that does nothing (`hook/build.dart`).
4. Try to build/run the app: `flutter run --debug -d macos`
This PR adds initial support for Swift Package Manager (SPM). Users must opt in. Only compatible with Xcode 15+.
Fixes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/146369.
## Included Features
This PR includes the following features:
* Enabling SPM via config
`flutter config --enable-swift-package-manager`
* Disabling SPM via config (will disable for all projects)
`flutter config --no-enable-swift-package-manager`
* Disabling SPM via pubspec.yaml (will disable for the specific project)
```
flutter:
disable-swift-package-manager: true
```
* Migrating existing apps to add SPM integration if using a Flutter plugin with a Package.swift
* Generates a Swift Package (named `FlutterGeneratedPluginSwiftPackage`) that handles Flutter SPM-compatible plugin dependencies. Generated package is added to the Xcode project.
* Error parsing of common errors that may occur due to using CocoaPods and Swift Package Manager together
* Tool will print warnings when using all Swift Package plugins and encourage you to remove CocoaPods
This PR also converts `integration_test` and `integration_test_macos` plugins to be both Swift Packages and CocoaPod Pods.
## How it Works
The Flutter CLI will generate a Swift Package called `FlutterGeneratedPluginSwiftPackage`, which will have local dependencies on all Swift Package compatible Flutter plugins.
The `FlutterGeneratedPluginSwiftPackage` package will be added to the Xcode project via altering of the `project.pbxproj`.
In addition, a "Pre-action" script will be added via altering of the `Runner.xcscheme`. This script will invoke the flutter tool to copy the Flutter/FlutterMacOS framework to the `BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR` directory before the build starts. This is needed because plugins need to be linked to the Flutter framework and fortunately Swift Package Manager automatically uses `BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR` as a framework search path.
CocoaPods will continue to run and be used to support non-Swift Package compatible Flutter plugins.
## Not Included Features
It does not include the following (will be added in future PRs):
* Create plugin template
* Create app template
* Add-to-App integration

Native assets in other build systems are not built with `package:native_assets_builder` invoking `build.dart` scripts. Instead all packages have their own blaze rules. Therefore we'd like to not depend on `package:native_assets_builder` from flutter tools in g3 at all.

In order to be able to remove all imports in files used by other build systems, two new interfaces are added `HotRunnerNativeAssetsBuilder` and `TestCompilerNativeAssetsBuilder`. New parameters are then piped all the way through from the entry points:

It's now possible to natively compile a flutter app for windows-arm64. Cross-compilation is not yet implemented.

The [`AssetBundle`](0833929c99/packages/flutter_tools/lib/src/asset.dart (L80)) class contains two members, `entries` and `entryKinds`. `entries` contains asset data indexed by asset key. `entryKinds` contains the "kinds" of these assets, again indexed by asset key.
**Change.** Rather than have two separate maps, this PR proposes combining these maps into one by wrapping the asset data and kind into a single data type `AssetBundleEntry`.
**Purpose.** In https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/141194, I am considering associating more information with an asset. In particular, what transformers are meant to be applied to it when copying it to the build output. Rather than adding another map member onto `AssetBundle` (e.g. `entryTransformers`), I decided to make things neater by introducing the `AssetBundleEntry` type.

Currently podhelper.rb will always point plugin builds at the cached engine artifacts, even when using `--local-engine`. In most cases this is fine, since when the final build actually runs it will be using the engine bundled into the app build, which will be the correct local engine build. When trying to test a local engine build with API additions against a local plugin modified to use those additions to ensure that they are working as expected, however, compilation will fail, because the new APIs won't be present in the plugin build.
This fixes that for macOS, and adds a TODO for iOS (which is more complicated to fix due to the host vs target build distinction).

Original Description:
Provides support for conditional bundling of assets through the existing `--flavor` option for `flutter build` and `flutter run`. Closes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/21682. Resolves https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/136092
## Change
Within the `assets` section pubspec.yaml, the user can now specify one or more `flavors` that an asset belongs to. Consider this example:
```yaml
# pubspec.yaml
flutter:
assets:
- assets/normal-asset.png
- path: assets/vanilla/ice-cream.png
flavors:
- vanilla
- path: assets/strawberry/ice-cream.png
flavors:
- strawberry
```
With this pubspec,
* `flutter run --flavor vanilla` will not include `assets/strawberry/ice-cream.png` in the build output.
* `flutter run --flavor strawberry` will not include `assets/vanilla/ice-cream.png`.
* `flutter run` will only include `assets/normal-asset.png`.
## Open questions
* Should this be supported for all platforms, or should this change be limited to ones with documented `--flavor` support (Android, iOS, and (implicitly) MacOS)? This PR currently only enables this feature for officially supported platforms.
## Design thoughts, what this PR does not do, etc.
### This does not provide an automatic mapping/resolution of asset keys/paths to others based on flavor at runtime.
The implementation in this PR represents a simplest approach. Notably, it does not give Flutter the ability to dynamically choose an asset based on flavor using a single asset key. For example, one can't use `Image.asset('config.json')` to dynamically choose between different "flavors" of `config.json` (such as `dev-flavor/config.json` or `prod-flavor/config.json`). However, a user could always implement such a mechanism in their project or in a library by examining the flavor at runtime.
### When multiple entries affect the same file and 1) at least one of these entries have a `flavors` list provided and 2) these lists are not equivalent, we always consider the manifest to be ambiguous and will throw a `ToolExit`.
<details>
For example, these manifests would all be considered ambiguous:
```yaml
assets:
- assets/
- path: assets/vanilla.png
flavors:
- vanilla
assets:
- path: assets/vanilla/
flavors:
- vanilla
- path: assets/vanilla/cherry.png
flavor:
- cherry
# Thinking towards the future where we might add glob/regex support and more conditions other than flavor:
assets:
- path: assets/vanilla/**
flavors:
- vanilla
- path: assets/**/ios/**
platforms:
- ios
# Ambiguous in the case of assets like "assets/vanilla/ios/icon.svg" since we
# don't know if flavor `vanilla` and platform `ios` should be combined using or-logic or and-logic.
```
See [this review comment thread](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/132985#discussion_r1381909942) for the full story on how I arrived at this decision.

### This does not support Android's multidimensional flavors feature (in an intuitive way)
<details>
Conder this excerpt from a Flutter project's android/app/build.gradle file:
```groovy
android {
// ...
flavorDimensions "mode", "api"
productFlavors {
free {
dimension "mode"
applicationIdSuffix ".free"
}
premium {
dimension "mode"
applicationIdSuffix ".premium"
}
minApi23 {
dimension "api"
versionNameSuffix "-minApi23"
}
minApi21 {
dimension "api"
versionNameSuffix "-minApi21"
}
}
}
```
In this setup, the following values are valid `--flavor` are valid `freeMinApi21`, `freeMinApi23`, `premiumMinApi21`, and `premiumMinApi23`. We call these values "flavor combinations". Consider the following from the Android documentation[^1]:
> In addition to the source set directories you can create for each individual product flavor and build variant, you can also create source set directories for each combination of product flavors. For example, you can create and add Java sources to the src/demoMinApi24/java/ directory, and Gradle uses those sources only when building a variant that combines those two product flavors.
>
> Source sets you create for product flavor combinations have a higher priority than source sets that belong to each individual product flavor. To learn more about source sets and how Gradle merges resources, read the section about how to [create source sets](https://developer.android.com/build/build-variants#sourcesets).
This feature will not behave in this way. If a user utilizes this feature and also Android's multidimensional flavors feature, they will have to list out all flavor combinations that contain the flavor they want to limit an asset to:
```yaml
assets:
- assets/free/
flavors:
- freeMinApi21
- freeMinApi23
```
This is mostly due to a technical limitation in the hot-reload feature of `flutter run`. During a hot reload, the tool will try to update the asset bundle on the device, but the tool does not know the flavors contained within the flavor combination (that the user passes to `--flavor`). Gradle is the source of truth of what flavors were involved in the build, and `flutter run` currently does not access to that information since it's an implementation detail of the build process. We could bubble up this information, but it would require a nontrivial amount of engineering work, and it's unclear how desired this functionality is. It might not be worth implementing.

Original Description:
Some of our tests in CI are triggering the `NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription` dialog when they're not supposed to (https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/129836) since it's disabled via flags (`--no-publish-port` for flutter/flutter and `--disable-vm-service-publication` for flutter/engine).
Normally, we inject `NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription` (and other bonjour settings) to the Info.plist during the project build for debug and profile mode since by default they will publish the VM Service port over mDNS.
To help diagnose the issue, though, this PR changes it so that we don't inject `NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription` (and other bonjour settings) when port publication is disabled since it shouldn't be needed. Hopefully, this will give us better error messages or cause the app to crash and end the test early (rather than timeout after 30 minutes).

Hopefully, this will give us better error messages or cause the app to crash and end the test early (rather than timeout after 30 minutes).
So there appears to be a race situation between the flutter CLI and Xcode. In the CLI, we update the `CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR` in the Xcode build settings and then tell Xcode to install, launch, and debug the app. When Xcode installs the app, it should use the `CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR` to find the bundle. However, it appears that sometimes Xcode hasn't processed the change to the build settings before the install happens, which causes it to not be able to find the bundle.

Since it's a timing issue, there's not really a consistent way to test it.
I was able to confirm that it works, though, by using the following steps:
1. Create a flutter project
2. Open the project in Xcode
3. `flutter clean`
4. `flutter run --profile -v`
If I saw a print line `stderr: CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR: build/Debug-iphoneos`, that means it first found the old and incorrect `CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR` before updating to the the new, so I was able to confirm that it would wait until it updated.
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.

### 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.

Other than updating error messages, and passing `$LOCAL_ENGINE_HOST`
downwards, this PR should not change the behavior of any existing
workflows or code (i.e. it's purely additive).
This PR includes the following changes. These changes only apply to iOS 17 physical devices.
| Command | Change Description | Changes to User Experience |
| ------------- | ------------- | ------------- |
| `flutter run --release` | Uses `devicectl` to install and launch application in release mode. | No change. |
| `flutter run` | Uses Xcode via automation scripting to run application in debug and profile mode. | Xcode will be opened in the background. Errors/crashes may be caught in Xcode and therefore may not show in terminal. |
| `flutter run --use-application-binary=xxxx` | Creates temporary empty Xcode project and use Xcode to run via automation scripting in debug and profile. | Xcode will be opened in the background. Errors/crashes may be caught in Xcode and therefore may not show in terminal. |
| `flutter install` | Uses `devicectl` to check installed apps, install app, uninstall app. | No change. |
| `flutter screenshot` | Will return error. | Will return error. |
Other changes include:
* Using `devicectl` to get information about the device
* Using `idevicesyslog` and Dart VM logging for device logs
Note:
Xcode automation scripting (used in `flutter run` for debug and profile) does not work in a headless (without a UI) interface. No known workaround.
