Deprecate Objective-C plugin template ( #174003 )
...
This PR marks the `--ios-language objc` flag as deprecated for plugin
creation. It introduces a warning message in the `flutter create` tool
when the flag is used, but **does not** remove the functionality at this
time. This is the first step towards its eventual removal.
## Context
As discussed in the issue, usage metrics show that Objective-C is used
in less than 4% of newly created plugins. To streamline the tool and
align with modern iOS development practices (i.e., Swift), we are
beginning the process of phasing out this option
**Changes:**
- Adds a deprecation warning to the CLI when the `objc` flag is used.
- Updates the `--help` text to reflect the deprecation.
- Removes obsolete tests for Objective-C plugin creation and usage
tracking.
## Testing
I have validated these changes by:
1. Manually running `flutter-dev create` with the `objc` flag to confirm
the new deprecation warning appears.
2. Verifying that creating a plugin without the --ios-language flag does
**not** trigger the warning.
3. Running the tests in the `test/commands.shard` to ensure no
regressions were introduced.
4. CI will validate the changes to the devicelab tests.
Fixes #169683

Add template for plugin projects. ( #9076 )
...
Plugin projects are created by running `flutter create --plugin <name>`.
An example app is also created in the plugin project, using the normal 'create' template, which has been modified to allow for conditional plugin code.
Modified the android package name to match package naming conventions (all lower-case, and must match the directory name).
