Switch from the un-suffixed Windows and Linux libraries to the
_glfw-suffixed versions, in preparation for having non-GLFW versions
using the previous library/wrapper names.
Part of #38589
We were using the `defaults` command-line utility to parse
Plist files, but it was never supported by Apple, and it
appears that in an upcoming OS release, it will be less likely
to work:
> WARNING: The defaults command will be changed in an upcoming
> major release to only operate on preferences domains. General
> plist manipulation utilities will be folded into a different
> command-line program.
Fixes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/37701
An optimization to the coverage collection speed was added in #30811. This commit further expands on it to parameterize the CoverageCollector with a custom predicate, allowing internal use cases to filter the RPC calls to the Dart VM based on scripts of interest to coverage collection.
`flutter build aar`
This new build command works just like `flutter build apk` or `flutter build appbundle`, but for plugin and module projects.
This PR also refactors how plugins are included in app or module projects. By building the plugins as AARs, the Android Gradle plugin is able to use Jetifier to translate support libraries into AndroidX libraries for all the plugin's native code. Thus, reducing the error rate when using AndroidX in apps.
This change also allows to build modules as AARs, so developers can take these artifacts and distribute them along with the native host app without the need of the Flutter tool. This is a requirement for add to app.
`flutter build aar` generates POM artifacts (XML files) which contain metadata about the native dependencies used by the plugin. This allows Gradle to resolve dependencies at the app level. The result of this new build command is a single build/outputs/repo, the local repository that contains all the generated AARs and POM files.
In a Flutter app project, this local repo is used by the Flutter Gradle plugin to resolve the plugin dependencies. In add to app case, the developer needs to configure the local repo and the dependency manually in `build.gradle`:
repositories {
maven {
url "<path-to-flutter-module>build/host/outputs/repo"
}
}
dependencies {
implementation("<package-name>:flutter_<build-mode>:1.0@aar") {
transitive = true
}
}

When we were running `pub` within `flutter pub`, we were
unconditionally including the `--verbosity=warning` argument.
Then we were conditionally including `--verbose` if we were
running in verbose mode. However, the former argument
supersedes the latter, and we were never able to run `pub`
in verbose mode.
This is done via `flutter build bundle`. As a consequence, this PR introduces a new way to disable analytics via the `FLUTTER_SUPPRESS_ANALYTICS` env flag.
* Gradle generates ELF shared libraries instead of AOT snapshots.
* `flutter build apk/appbundle` supports multiple `--target-platform` and defaults to `android-arm` and `android-arm64`.
* `flutter build apk` now has a flag called `--split-per-abi`.
