Code Review

This pull request correctly addresses a potential mutation crash in iOS lifecycle event handling by ensuring that delegate enumeration is always performed on a snapshot of the delegate list. The changes are consistent across all relevant methods in FlutterPluginAppLifeCycleDelegate.mm. Additionally, comprehensive tests have been added to validate the fix for both adding and removing delegates during enumeration, which is excellent. I have one suggestion to improve the readability of the new test code.

For improved readability and to make the test code more self-documenting, consider using an enum to represent the behavior of the MutatingPlugin instead of a BOOL. A boolean property shouldAdd is less descriptive than an enum, especially if more test behaviors were to be added in the future. An enum makes the plugin's purpose more explicit.

You would then update the implementation to use a switch on self.behavior and the test setup to set mutatingPlugin.behavior.

typedef NS_ENUM(NSUInteger, MutatingPluginBehavior) {
  MutatingPluginBehaviorAddDelegate,
  MutatingPluginBehaviorRemoveSelf,
};

@interface MutatingPlugin : NSObject <FlutterApplicationLifeCycleDelegate>
@property(nonatomic, weak) FlutterPluginAppLifeCycleDelegate* lifecycleDelegate;
@property(nonatomic, assign) MutatingPluginBehavior behavior;
@end
