Deprecate `textScaleFactor` in favor of `textScaler`, in preparation for Android 14 [Non-linear font scaling to 200%](https://developer.android.com/about/versions/14/features#non-linear-font-scaling). The `TextScaler` class can be moved to `dart:ui` in the future, if we decide to use the Android platform API or AndroidX to get the scaling curve instead of hard coding the curve in the framework. I haven't put the Flutter version in the deprecation message so the analyzer checks are failing. Will do so after I finish the migration guide. **Why `TextScaler.textScaleFactor`** The author of a `TextScaler` subclass should provide a fallback `textScaleFactor`. By making `TextScaler` also contain the `textScaleFactor` information it also makes it easier to migrate: if a widget overrides `MediaQueryData.textScaler` in the tree, for unmigrated widgets in the subtree it would also have to override `MediaQueryData.textScaleFactor`, and that makes it difficult to remove `MediaQueryData.textScaleFactor` in the future. ## A full list of affected APIs in this PR Deprecated: The method/getter/setter/argument is annotated with a `@Deprecated()` annotation in this PR, and the caller should replace it with `textScaler` instead. Unless otherwise specified there will be a Flutter fix available to help with migration but it's still recommended to migrate case-by-case. **Replaced**: The method this `textScaleFactor` argument belongs to is rarely called directly by user code and is not overridden by any of the registered custom tests, so the argument is directly replaced by `TextScaler`. **To Be Deprecated**: The method/getter/setter/argument can't be deprecated in this PR because a registered customer test depends on it and a Flutter fix isn't available (or the test was run without applying flutter fixes first). This method/getter/setter/argument will be deprecated in a followup PR once the registered test is migrated. ### `Painting` Library | Affected API | State of `textScaleFactor` | Comment | | --- | --- | --- | | `InlineSpan.build({ double textScaleFactor = 1.0 })` argument | **Replaced** | | | `TextStyle.getParagraphStyle({ double TextScaleFactor = 1.0 })` argument | **Replaced** | | | `TextStyle.getTextStyle({ double TextScaleFactor = 1.0 })` argument| Deprecated | Can't replace:c47fd38dca/super_editor/lib/src/infrastructure/super_textfield/desktop/desktop_textfield.dart (L1903-L1905)

Flutter Examples
This directory contains several examples of using Flutter. To run an example,
use flutter run
inside that example's directory. See the getting started
guide to install the flutter
tool.
For additional samples, see the
flutter/samples
repo.
Available examples include:
-
Hello, world The hello world app is a minimal Flutter app that shows the text "Hello, world!"
-
Flutter gallery The flutter gallery app no longer lives in this repo. Please see the gallery repo.
-
Layers The layers vignettes show how to use the various layers in the Flutter framework. For details, see the layers README.
-
Platform Channel The platform channel app demonstrates how to connect a Flutter app to platform-specific APIs. For documentation, see https://flutter.dev/platform-channels/.
-
Platform Channel Swift The platform channel swift app is the same as platform channel but the iOS version is in Swift and there is no Android version.
Notes
Note on Gradle wrapper files in .gitignore
:
Gradle wrapper files should normally be checked into source control. The example projects don't do that to avoid having several copies of the wrapper binary in the Flutter repo. Instead, the Gradle wrapper is injected by Flutter tooling, and the wrapper files are .gitignore'd to avoid making the Flutter repository dirty as a side effect of running the examples.
