Intro
I maintain a dart lib/flutter plugin making use of FFI (pub.dev/packages/objectbox) and have tried to test it with the current flutter beta channel. Turns out the flutter build ios build stopped including native "ObjectBox.framework" in the built test/example application. I've noticed the ios/Podfile is quite different now - were there any changes with regard to plugins/FFI, especially how the native libs are included? I'd prefer to address them before the next flutter release to prevent lib "downtime" if this isn't a flutter tool issue but an expected behaviour.
Steps to Reproduce
- Checkout https://github.com/vaind/obx-flutter-ios-build
- Execute the following commands:
flutter pub get flutter build ios --no-codesign --verbose ls -alh build/ios/iphoneos/Runner.app/Frameworks/ - ObjectBox.framework is missing
Expected results:
When built with a current stable flutter, the Frameworks directory includes ObjectBox.framework
$ flutter --version

I've noticed the difference in the "--verbose" run between stable and beta:
