This consolidates all of the non-template .gitignore rules into the top level .gitignore, to ignore common things more broadly, with less maintenance needed for the .gitignore files. Does not touch the templates, so that they still produce needed .gitignores as part of flutter create.
**THIS IS A BREAKING CHANGE.** See below for migration steps for
existing projects.
Previously, Flutter app code was built as a raw dylib on iOS. Dynamic
libraries outside of a framework bundle are not supported on iOS, except
for the system Swift libraries provided by Xcode.

* Migrates Xcode build from app.dylib to App.framework
* Migrates flutter create template
* Migrates example projects
Migration steps for existing projects
=====================================
The following steps should be taken from the root of your Flutter
project:
1. Edit `ios/.gitignore`: add `/Flutter/App.framework` on a new line.
2. In the Xcode project navigator, remove `app.dylib` from the Flutter
folder. Delete this file from the `ios/Flutter` directory in your project.
3. Run a build to generate `ios/Flutter/App.framework`. From the command
line, run `flutter build ios`. If you have not configured app signing
in Xcode, an alternative method is to open the simulator, then run
`flutter run -d iP`.
4. In the Xcode project navigator, select the `Runner` project. In the
project settings that are displayed in the main view, ensure that the
`Runner` target is selected. You can verify this by exposing the
sidebar using the [| ] icon in the upper-left corner of the main
view.
5. Select the *General* tab in the project settings. Under the
*Embedded Binaries* section, click '+' to add `App.framework`. In the
sheet that drops down, click the *Add Other...* button. Navigate to
the `ios/Flutter` directory and select `App.framework`. Click *Open*.
In the sheet that drops down, select *Create folder references*, then
click *Finish*.
6. In the project settings, verify that `App.framework` has been added to the
*Embedded Binaries* and *Linked Frameworks and Libraries* lists.
7. In the Xcode project navigator, drag `App.framework` under the
Flutter folder.
8. In the Xcode project navigator, select `Flutter` then from the
*File* menu, select *Add Files to "Runner"...*. Navigate to the
`ios/Flutter` directory, select `AppFrameworkInfo.plist` and click
the *Add* button.
9. From the command line, in your project directory, run
`flutter build clean`, then `flutter run`.
At this point your project should be fully migrated.
