iOS,macOS: Merge iOS, macOS config (#167945)
Merges iOS and macOS configuration and SDK finder scripts:

* //build/mac/find_sdk.py and //build/ios/config/ios_sdk.py merge to
  //build/mac/apple_sdk.py.

* //build/config/ios/ios_sdk.gni and //build/config/mac/mac_sdk.gni
  merge to //build/config/apple/apple_sdk.gni. gn args for macOS are
  available on all builds with `host_os == "mac"`. gn args for iOS are
  available on builds where `is_ios` is true (in place of the existing
  conditional import logic). Merging the two allows us to check all
  Apple SDK-related variable for anything missing and run `apple_sdk.py`
  a maximum of once across all Apple platforms.

* Adds `Platforms` directory to `//flutter/prebuilts`, which contains
  Apple platform symlinks for `iPhoneOS`, `iPhoneSimulator`, `MacOSX`.
  Adds `ios_device_platform_path`, `ios_simulator_platform_path`,
  `mac_platform_path` gn args to hold these paths. Adds logic to
  `//flutter/tools/gn` to locate these paths and prepopulate these args
  from them to avoid running the script as part of the build.

  These are used to link to Swift core libs for each platform where
  necessary, as well as (for tests) test frameworks and `.swiftmodule`s
  like XCTest.framework.

* Eliminates `Library/Frameworks` symlink from `//flutter/prebuilts`.
  This path is a subdirectory of each of the platform directories above.
  It was used to populate `platform_frameworks_path` in
  `//flutter/shell/platform/darwin/ios/BUILD.gn` using sort of sketchy
  relative-path logic.

  Further, the existing logic for greating the link was buggy for runs
  of `ios_sdk.py` where the `--sdk` option was not specified (i.e. all
  runs where `--as-gclient-hook` were specified). Without this option,
  we cycle through both `iphoneos` and `iphonesimulator` SDKs, and since
  this symlink was written on each iteration through the `SDKs` list, it
  was always linked to the `Library/Frameworks` directory for the last
  item in the list: `iPhoneSimulator.platform`. The platform arg for the
  current build is now resolved to `ios_platform_path` from which we
  resolve `$ios_platform_path/Developer/Library/Frameworks`.

A follow-up patch will refactor the iOS build file to extract an iOS
test config that eliminates some of the unnecessary duplication of
cc_flags, swiftflags, and ld_flags across targets.

Flutter

Flutter CI Status Discord badge Twitter handle BlueSky badge codecov CII Best Practices SLSA 1

Flutter is Google's SDK for crafting beautiful, fast user experiences for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase. Flutter works with existing code, is used by developers and organizations around the world, and is free and open source.

Documentation

For announcements about new releases, follow the flutter-announce@googlegroups.com mailing list. Our documentation also tracks breaking changes across releases.

Terms of service

The Flutter tool may occasionally download resources from Google servers. By downloading or using the Flutter SDK, you agree to the Google Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms

For example, when installed from GitHub (as opposed to from a prepackaged archive), the Flutter tool will download the Dart SDK from Google servers immediately when first run, as it is used to execute the flutter tool itself. This will also occur when Flutter is upgraded (e.g. by running the flutter upgrade command).

About Flutter

We think Flutter will help you create beautiful, fast apps, with a productive, extensible and open development model, whether you're targeting iOS or Android, web, Windows, macOS, Linux or embedding it as the UI toolkit for a platform of your choice.

Beautiful user experiences

We want to enable designers to deliver their full creative vision without being forced to water it down due to limitations of the underlying framework. Flutter's layered architecture gives you control over every pixel on the screen and its powerful compositing capabilities let you overlay and animate graphics, video, text, and controls without limitation. Flutter includes a full set of widgets that deliver pixel-perfect experiences whether you're building for iOS (Cupertino) or other platforms (Material), along with support for customizing or creating entirely new visual components.

Fast results

Flutter is fast. It's powered by hardware-accelerated 2D graphics libraries like Skia (which underpins Chrome and Android) and Impeller. We architected Flutter to support glitch-free, jank-free graphics at the native speed of your device.

Flutter code is powered by the world-class Dart platform, which enables compilation to 32-bit and 64-bit ARM machine code for iOS and Android, JavaScript and WebAssembly for the web, as well as Intel x64 and ARM for desktop devices.

Productive development

Flutter offers stateful hot reload, allowing you to make changes to your code and see the results instantly without restarting your app or losing its state.

Extensible and open model

Flutter works with any development tool (or none at all), and also includes editor plug-ins for both Visual Studio Code and IntelliJ / Android Studio. Flutter provides tens of thousands of packages to speed your development, regardless of your target platform. And accessing other native code is easy, with support for both FFI (on Android, on iOS, on macOS, and on Windows) as well as platform-specific APIs.

Flutter is a fully open-source project, and we welcome contributions. Information on how to get started can be found in our contributor guide.
