## **BREAKING CHANGE** Adopting Apple's UISceneDelegate protocol shifts the initialization order of apps. For the common cases we've made sure they will work without change. The one case that will require a change is any app that in `-[UIApplicateDelegate didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:]` assumes that `UIApplicationDelegate.window.rootViewController` is a `FlutterViewController` instance. This is sometimes done to register platform channels directly on the `FlutterViewController`. Instead users should use the `FlutterPluginRegistry` API's to create platform channels in `-[UIApplicateDelegate didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:]`, like `FlutterPlugin`s do. An example can be seen here: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/168914/files#diff-9f59c5248b58124beca7e290a57646023cda3ca024607092c6c6932606ce16ee In extreme cases, like bespoke test harnesses, the startup logic can be moved to `-[FlutterViewController awakeFromNib]` in a FlutterViewController subclass. An example can be seen here: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/169276/files#diff-dbe39c23a0a380447b90b7559a878dae8564616e0875c4ef0d9e99e02b91adac ## Changes since revert I changed the init in `//dev/integration_tests/external_textures` from the UIApplicationDelegate to the FlutterViewController's awakeFromNib. This is a more appropriate place for initialization post-UISceneDelegate since it avoids the launch engine altogether. I tried avoiding to make the big change to prove we could do a small change to migrate that project. I don't think this big refactor is indicative of what users will experience. There was a timing assumption in the integration test that required not using the launch engine at all. ## Description fixes: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/167267 design doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZfcQOs-UKRa9jsFG84-MTFeibZTLKCvPQLxF2eskx44/edit?tab=t.0 relands https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/168396 relands https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/168914 ## Pre-launch Checklist - [x] I read the [Contributor Guide] and followed the process outlined there for submitting PRs. - [x] I read the [Tree Hygiene] wiki page, which explains my responsibilities. - [x] I read and followed the [Flutter Style Guide], including [Features we expect every widget to implement]. - [x] I signed the [CLA]. - [x] I listed at least one issue that this PR fixes in the description above. - [x] I updated/added relevant documentation (doc comments with `///`). - [x] I added new tests to check the change I am making, or this PR is [test-exempt]. - [x] I followed the [breaking change policy] and added [Data Driven Fixes] where supported. - [x] All existing and new tests are passing.
external_textures
Tests external texture rendering between a native1 platform and Flutter.
Part of Flutter's API for plugins includes passing external textures, or textures
created outside of Flutter, to Flutter, typically using the Texture
widget. This is useful for plugins that render video, or for plugins that
interact with the camera.
For example:
Because external textures are created outside of Flutter, there is often subtle translation that needs to happen between the native platform and Flutter, which is hard to observe. These integration tests are designed to help catch these subtle translation issues.
How it works
- Each
lib/*_main.dartfile is a Flutter app instrumenting a test case. - There is a corresponding
test_driver/*_test.dartthat runs assertions.
To run the test cases locally, use flutter drive2:
flutter drive lib/frame_rate_main.dart --driver test_driver/frame_rate_test.dart
Tip
On CI, the test cases are run within our device lab.
