In preparation for changing engine builds to be unstripped by default https://github.com/flutter/engine/pull/52852, which will allow us to make progress towards resolving https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/60240. Tricks AGP in to downloading the NDK when building a flutter app (that uses the FGP, which to my knowledge is all ways of building flutter apk/aab/aar). I want to follow this up by modifying the tool to search for the log line that the NDK is missing (making it throw an error in that case) as a safeguard, because that would be the last line of defense before we accidentally build a bloated app. The safeguard won't work for add to app, from what I understand, because while they use the FGP (so they should be forced to be download the NDK) they don't invoke the flutter tool, and therefore won't invoke the custom error handling of [`gradle_errors.dart`](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/master/packages/flutter_tools/lib/src/android/gradle_errors.dart) Some details 1. Respects existing values for `externalNativeBuild.cmake.path` for apps that actually use it. 2. Silences some warnings that would otherwise appear for add to app builds or builds that manually invoke gradle: ``` C/C++: CMake Warning (dev) in CMakeLists.txt: C/C++: No project() command is present. The top-level CMakeLists.txt file must C/C++: contain a literal, direct call to the project() command. Add a line of C/C++: code such as C/C++: project(ProjectName) C/C++: near the top of the file, but after cmake_minimum_required(). C/C++: CMake is pretending there is a "project(Project)" command on the first C/C++: line. C/C++: This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it. C/C++: CMake Warning: C/C++: Manually-specified variables were not used by the project: C/C++: CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS C/C++: CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY C/C++: CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ``` 3. Our ci installs the NDK at an abnormal place that AGP can't find without help. I've modified all the `build.gradle`s that we have checked in to point to the pre-installed path. **But some of our tests make a new app from the templates, and those tests will now start downloading the NDK** (as they won't be able to find it at it's current path from templates). We could resolve this by actually fixing https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/136666. This would be a very significant lift from what I understand - we rely on this hardcoding in a lot of places in our infra.

Example of calling platform services from Flutter
This project demonstrates how to connect a Flutter app to platform-specific services.
You can read more about accessing platform and third-party services in Flutter.
iOS
You can use the commands flutter build
and flutter run
from the app's root
directory to build/run the app or you can open ios/Runner.xcworkspace
in Xcode
and build/run the project as usual.
Android
You can use the commands flutter build
and flutter run
from the app's root
directory to build/run the app or to build with Android Studio, open the
android
folder in Android Studio and build the project as usual.
Windows
You can use the commands flutter build
and flutter run
from the app's root
directory to build/run the app or you can build once then open
build\windows\platform_channel.sln
in Visual Studio to build and run.
