`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
}
}
* Clean up some flutter_tools tests
* Remove arbitrary retry that happens even for fundamental errors, and generally clean up _DevFSHttpWriter.
* Update dependencies (requires fixes; see next commit)
* Fixes for new dependencies.
* Use source list from the compiler to track invalidated files.
* Revert accidental change
* Fix first-time-seen-the-file logic
* Fix/simplify invalidate logic now that we can rely on compiler to let us know what is the cut-off point for invalidation.
* Update devfs mock to accommodate for new fields
* Fix deleted files case
* Analyzer found missing final
* add trailing commas on list/map/parameters
* add trailing commas on Invocation with nb of arg>1
* add commas for widget containing widgets
* add trailing commas if instantiation contains trailing comma
* revert bad change
## Description
Also update the existing dart files with missing licenses.
Without the fix, we'll emit the following error message
