Xcode 15 will be required for iOS App Store submission
> Please note that as of April 2024 all iOS and iPadOS apps submitted to the App Store must be built with a minimum of Xcode 15 and the iOS 17 SDK.
https://developer.apple.com/ios/submit/
And will also be required for Swift Package Manager support https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/146256.
We could swap to "required" but macOS developers don't technically need to upgrade. We can let the Store itself enforce its policies. And we can swap to Xcode 15 "required" when SPM adoption is further along.

Relates to tracker issue:
- https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/128251
This PR includes 3 major updates:
- Adding the `commandHasTerminal` parameter for `Event.flutterCommandResult`
- In `packages/flutter_tools/lib/src/runner/flutter_command.dart`
- Adding the new event for `sendException` from package:usage to be `Event.exception` (this event can be used by all dash tools)
- In `packages/flutter_tools/lib/runner.dart`
- Migrating the generic `UsageEvent` which was only used for Apple related workflows for iOS and macOS. I did an initial analysis in this [sheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11KJLkHXFpECMX7tw-trNkYSr5MHDG15XNGv6TgLjfQs/edit?resourcekey=0-j4qdvsOEEg3wQW79YlY1-g#gid=0) to identify all the call sites
- Found in several files, highlighted in the sheet above
This PR includes the following changes. These changes only apply to iOS 17 physical devices.
| Command | Change Description | Changes to User Experience |
| ------------- | ------------- | ------------- |
| `flutter run --release` | Uses `devicectl` to install and launch application in release mode. | No change. |
| `flutter run` | Uses Xcode via automation scripting to run application in debug and profile mode. | Xcode will be opened in the background. Errors/crashes may be caught in Xcode and therefore may not show in terminal. |
| `flutter run --use-application-binary=xxxx` | Creates temporary empty Xcode project and use Xcode to run via automation scripting in debug and profile. | Xcode will be opened in the background. Errors/crashes may be caught in Xcode and therefore may not show in terminal. |
| `flutter install` | Uses `devicectl` to check installed apps, install app, uninstall app. | No change. |
| `flutter screenshot` | Will return error. | Will return error. |
Other changes include:
* Using `devicectl` to get information about the device
* Using `idevicesyslog` and Dart VM logging for device logs
Note:
Xcode automation scripting (used in `flutter run` for debug and profile) does not work in a headless (without a UI) interface. No known workaround.
Fixes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/128827, https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/128531.
Redo of https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/130728 - code is the same as before. That PR was stuck in Google testing and then I messed up the rebase so started over.
----
Starting in Xcode 15, the simulator is no longer included in Xcode and must be downloaded and installed separately. This adds a validation to `flutter doctor` to warn when the needed simulator runtime is missing.
Validation message looks like:
```
[!] Xcode - develop for iOS and macOS (Xcode 15.0)
! iOS 17.0 Simulator not installed; this may be necessary for iOS and macOS development.
To download and install the platform, open Xcode, select Xcode > Settings > Platforms,
and click the GET button for the required platform.
For more information, please visit:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/installing-additional-simulator-runtimes
```
It may also show an error like this when something goes wrong when checking for the simulator:
```
[!] Xcode - develop for iOS and macOS (Xcode 15.0)
â Unable to find the iPhone Simulator SDK.
```
Note: I'm unsure of in the future if the SDK and the simulator runtime will need to match the exact version or just the major. For now, it only checks against the major version.
Part 3 of https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/129558.
This PR fixes issue of duplicate entries from `xcdevice list` cause devices to not show in `flutter devices`, `flutter run`, etc.
When a duplicate entry is found, use the entry without errors as the authority. If both have errors, use the one with the higher SDK as the authority.
Fixes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/128719.
Fixes#124756 by removing the concept of `Version.unknown`.
`Version` fields that needed the ability to represent an unknown version have been made nullable. Assigning `null` to them represents an unknown version.
* setup wireless debugging to use device IP
* fix tests
* fix unused var and missing annotation
* remove unneeded try catch
* remove commented out line, change null to package id
* better way to get package id
* update mDNS lookup to continously check for server, add messaging if takes too long to find observatory url, update flutter drive to enable publish-port if using network device
* Refactor mDNS Discovery to poll for observatories and better handle multiple instances of the same app. Update drive command to make publish-port more stable. Update attach for iOS to only use Protocol Discovery if applicable, run mDNS and Protocol Discovery simultaneously, handle --debug-port/--debug-url/--device-vmservice-port, continously poll for obseravtories with mDNS, include port in error message when mutliple available
* add and update comments, use logger spinner intead of timer in flutter attach, other small improvements
* add newline to message so next log won't be on same line
* fix install/waiting for permission status progress so it doens't double print the time it took.
* only print backtrace if observatory times out on a physical usb connected device
* fix test
* Update related references from Observatory to Dart VM Service
* fix test
Our current top crasher is an unclear error when ProcessManager fails to resolve an executable path. To fix this, we'd like to being adjusting the process resolution logic and adding more instrumentation to track failures. In order to begin the process, the ProcessManager has been folded back into the flutter tool
