This PR makes `TransitionRoute` support driving the animation with `Simulation`. This is needed for Cupertino widgets, since iOS use "spring simulations" for a majority of their animations. This PR also applies the standard spring animation to `CupertinoDialogRoute` (alert dialogs) and `CupertinoModalPopupRoute` (action sheets). (This PR does not yet support customizing the spring parameters or conveniently using the springs for custom routes, which are left for future PRs.) ### Comparison I tried to create a comparison video for action sheets, however the difference is far less noticeable than I expected. (All clips are precisely aligned at the moment the pointer is lifted.) I guess the original curve _is_ good enough. Nevertheless, the spring simulation is the correct one and we should support it. Edit: [The comment](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/155575#issuecomment-2489303282) below also mentioned that supporting spring animation will improve the fidelity when the animation is caused by a user gesture. I assume this requires initial speed, which is not supported by this PR but we can add it in the future. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/06d2f684-ad1c-4a4d-8663-a561895f45e9 Also, Flutter's response seems to be always a moment slower than SwiftUI, possibly because Flutter requiring two frames to start the animation (one frame to add the transition widget, one frame for the animation to actually progress.) We probably want to solve it in the future. ## Pre-launch Checklist - [ ] I read the [Contributor Guide] and followed the process outlined there for submitting PRs. - [ ] I read the [Tree Hygiene] wiki page, which explains my responsibilities. - [ ] I read and followed the [Flutter Style Guide], including [Features we expect every widget to implement]. - [ ] I signed the [CLA]. - [ ] I listed at least one issue that this PR fixes in the description above. - [ ] I updated/added relevant documentation (doc comments with `///`). - [ ] I added new tests to check the change I am making, or this PR is [test-exempt]. - [ ] I followed the [breaking change policy] and added [Data Driven Fixes] where supported. - [ ] All existing and new tests are passing.

Flutter is Google's SDK for crafting beautiful, fast user experiences for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase. Flutter works with existing code, is used by developers and organizations around the world, and is free and open source.
Documentation
For announcements about new releases, follow the flutter-announce@googlegroups.com mailing list. Our documentation also tracks breaking changes across releases.
Terms of service
The Flutter tool may occasionally download resources from Google servers. By downloading or using the Flutter SDK, you agree to the Google Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms
For example, when installed from GitHub (as opposed to from a prepackaged
archive), the Flutter tool will download the Dart SDK from Google servers
immediately when first run, as it is used to execute the flutter
tool itself.
This will also occur when Flutter is upgraded (e.g. by running the flutter upgrade
command).
About Flutter
We think Flutter will help you create beautiful, fast apps, with a productive, extensible and open development model, whether you're targeting iOS or Android, web, Windows, macOS, Linux or embedding it as the UI toolkit for a platform of your choice.
Beautiful user experiences
We want to enable designers to deliver their full creative vision without being forced to water it down due to limitations of the underlying framework. Flutter's layered architecture gives you control over every pixel on the screen and its powerful compositing capabilities let you overlay and animate graphics, video, text, and controls without limitation. Flutter includes a full set of widgets that deliver pixel-perfect experiences whether you're building for iOS (Cupertino) or other platforms (Material), along with support for customizing or creating entirely new visual components.
Fast results
Flutter is fast. It's powered by hardware-accelerated 2D graphics libraries like Skia (which underpins Chrome and Android) and Impeller. We architected Flutter to support glitch-free, jank-free graphics at the native speed of your device.
Flutter code is powered by the world-class Dart platform, which enables compilation to 32-bit and 64-bit ARM machine code for iOS and Android, JavaScript and WebAssembly for the web, as well as Intel x64 and ARM for desktop devices.
Productive development
Flutter offers stateful hot reload, allowing you to make changes to your code and see the results instantly without restarting your app or losing its state.
Extensible and open model
Flutter works with any development tool (or none at all), and also includes editor plug-ins for both Visual Studio Code and IntelliJ / Android Studio. Flutter provides tens of thousands of packages to speed your development, regardless of your target platform. And accessing other native code is easy, with support for both FFI (on Android, on iOS, on macOS, and on Windows) as well as platform-specific APIs.
Flutter is a fully open-source project, and we welcome contributions. Information on how to get started can be found in our contributor guide.
