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 PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy to plugin template ( #148485 )
...
Adds an empty privacy manifest, and commented out code to include it in the build, to the plugin template. This will make it much easier to explain how to add a privacy manifest in plugin docs, since instead of explaining the format of the file from scratch and providing example code to inculde it, we can just instruct people to add entries to an exisitng file and then uncomment a line or two. This will also make it much easier to figure out from the template output itself how to add support for people who don't find the documentation.
