Removes multiple re-entrant calls of bundle and aot and replaces them with a single call to assemble. This restores full caching and will allow follow-up performance improvements when building multiple ABIs
Before this change, having an Android app depend on a plugin that has no android implementation resulted in a Gradle build failure.
This scenario is likely to become more common if we're enabling federated plugins, as the package implementing just the desktop implementation of a plugin won't have an Android implementation.
This changes the Gradle plugin to not try to build any plugins that doesn't have an android/build.gradle file.
`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
}
}

This is done via `flutter build bundle`. As a consequence, this PR introduces a new way to disable analytics via the `FLUTTER_SUPPRESS_ANALYTICS` env flag.
* Gradle generates ELF shared libraries instead of AOT snapshots.
* `flutter build apk/appbundle` supports multiple `--target-platform` and defaults to `android-arm` and `android-arm64`.
* `flutter build apk` now has a flag called `--split-per-abi`.

copySharedFlutterAssetsTask copies the `flutter_shared` folder assets to android's `src/main` folder of Flutter project, so that folder is bundled on the generated AAR
* Renamed --save-compilation-trace to flutter run --train.

* In dynamic mode, made JIT snapshot the default, instead of kernel file.
--track-widget-creation=false to
--track-widget-creation=true
but not when switching from
--track-widget-creation=true
to
--track-widget-creation=false
due to the surprising behavior of Gradle @Optional inputs.
This also involves switching from Core JIT to App JIT snapshot, and replacing per-isolate VM snapshot with the shared VM snapshot.
For now there is no separate update bundle file, as the generated update gets packaged directly into the APK for testing purposes.
This changes the compiler output for gradle to be less verbose and more easily read.
This only applies to compilation error messages: other gradle messages will continue to print as before.
It also fixes a small problem with the performance measurement printing (see that "7.1s" on it's own line in the original?) so that if something is expected to have multiple lines of output, it prints an initial line, and a "Done" line with the elapsed time, so that it's possible to know what the time applies to.
It also updates the spinner to be fancier, at least on platforms other than Windows (which is missing a lot of symbols in its console font).
Addresses #17307
This tickled a bug in KernelCompiler.compile() where the fingerprinter
doesn't include the outputFilePath in its list of dependencies. As such,
if the output .dill file is missing or corrupted, the fingerprint still
matches and re-compile is skipped, even though it shouldn't be. I'll fix
that in a followup, then look at how this triggered that issue. My
hypothesis is that that it's due to the aot kernel compile and bundle
kernel compile have separate output directories for the .dill files
(build/ vs build/aot) but the same output directory for the associated
depfiles (due to this patch).
This reverts commit 43a106e95a.
The --snapshot argument was only necessary in Dart 1. The --depfile
argument was only used in Dart 2 mode to pass to the kernel compiler,
but was inconsistent with the 'build aot' command, where the depfile was
always set to build/kernel_compile.d.
This patch updates 'build bundle' to emit the depfile to a location
consistent with the 'build aot' command; since it's not intended to be
user-configurable and flutter.gradle hardcodes the location to
build/kernel_compile.d either way, this patch also eliminates the
ability to configure the filename altogether.
This patch eliminates the --preview-dart-2/--no-preview-dart-2 flag,
hardcoding all uses to true. It also defaults all previewDart2 method
parameters to true, where they hadn't yet been.
A series of subsequent patches will eliminate all previewDart2
parameters and the associated code from within the codebase.
fuchsia_tester.dart still assumes Dart 1. Previously, it ran tests directly
from source, flutter_platform.dart automatically runs a kernel compile when
operating in Dart 2 mode, but this assumes a functional Dart SDK is available
in the artifacts directly, and fuchsia_tester.dart mocks out the artifacts
directory with an empty temp dir.
Remaining work is:
1. Get the frontend server building as a dependency on Fuchsia.
2. Patch fuchsia_tester.dart to use a valid Dart SDK and frontend server.
This also reverts migration to Dart 2 typedef syntax.

This updates the Android build to declare the kernel compile depfile as
an output and its contents as inputs when running with --preview-dart-2
(the default mode).
The 'flutter build aot' command behaves differently depending on whether
it's running in Dart 1 or Dart 2 mode:
* Dart 1: the entrypoint Dart file (typically main.dart) is passed
directly to gen_snapshot, which then emits snapshot.d, whose contents
list the transitive closure of Dart dependencies (input files) for the
snapshot. snapshot.d is a declared output, its contents (plus
gen_snapshot itself) constitute the set of input files to the Gradle
build action.
* Dart 2: then entrypoint Dart file (typically main.dart) is first
compiled with the Dart kernel frontend. This emits kernel_compile.d,
whose contents list the transitive closure of Dart dependencies (input
files) for the kernel 'dill' output file. This 'dill' file is then
passed to gen_snapshot, which emits snapshot.d, whose contents are
empty. As of this change, both snapshot.d and kernel_compile.d are
declared outputs, and their contents (plus gen_snapshot and the
frontend compiler themselves) constitute the set of input files to the
Gradle build action.
This fixes a bug wherein profile/release AOT outputs were not
invalidated due to snapshot.d being empty, and kernel_compile.d being
ignored. This was introduced during recent refactoring of the AOT build
code, wherein the kernel compile and gen_snapshot actions were changed
to emit independent depfiles (previously one stomped -- or failed to --
on the other's output).
