[macOS] support secure restorable state by default (#151605)
By default, Flutter apps only do default AppKit app serialisation of
Window location etc. and by default, state serialisation in AppKit apps
is compatible with `NSSecureCoding`. AppKit apps generated since Xcode
13.2 include this method in the app delegate generated by the default
app template.

Background
==========

This method was added to opt into having [de]serialization require a
coder implementing the `NSSecureCoding` protocol. Apple wasn't able to
force this across the board, because `NSSecureCoding` limits certain
behaviours during deserialisation, which some third-party apps have have
previously relied on.

Specific background on the sorts of vulnerabilities that
`NSSecureCoding` was designed to prevent are described in the
`NSSecureCoding` documentation:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nssecurecoding?language=objc

A demonstration of a root privilege escalation and SIP bypass
vulnerability is described in the following blog post:

This app is used for internal testing.

Release a new version for Android

pre-requisite: This can and should only be done by a googler and you must also be in the flutter.dev play console account.

  1. Follow https://docs.flutter.dev/deployment/android to create a keystore file if you don't already have one.

  2. Bump the pubspec.yaml version

  3. Create a key.properties file in android/ directory following this format.

storePassword=<password>
keyPassword=<password>
keyAlias=upload
storeFile=<keystore path>
  1. Run flutter build appbundle and upload the artifact to play console

Release a new version for iOS

pre-requisite: This can and should only be done by a googler and you must also be in the FLUTTER.IO LLC developer account with iOS distribution permission.

  1. Bump the pubspec.yaml version
  2. Run flutter build ipa and upload the artifact to app store using transporter or other tools. For more information, see https://docs.flutter.dev/deployment/ios.
  3. Once the app is in TestFlight, add appropriate testers to the app so they can start testing.
