[CP-stable] Update iOS tools to fat binaries (#185868)#186064
Conversation
Updates iOS tools to a new path in GCS where they are built with both x86 and arm. On ARM Apple Silicon Macs, these will run natively without requiring Rosetta. Binaries are code-signed and fat as expected: ``` SHARD=verify_binaries_pre_codesigned bin/cache/dart-sdk/bin/dart dev/bots/test.dart ▌20:17:40▐ STARTING ANALYSIS ▌20:17:41▐ SHARD=verify_binaries_pre_codesigned ▌20:17:41▐ Running binaries codesign verification ▌20:18:30▐ Test successful. ``` Fixes flutter#121178 and flutter#185384 ## Pre-launch Checklist - [x] I read the [Contributor Guide] and followed the process outlined there for submitting PRs. - [x] I read the [AI contribution guidelines] and understand my responsibilities, or I am not using AI tools. - [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.

Code Review
This pull request introduces several improvements and fixes, including adding a workaround for Xcode's git multi-pack-index incompatibility, implementing fat binary verification for iOS/macOS, and adding support for web-define variables in web builds. It also includes a fix for potential integer overflows in animated PNG handling and updates the Flutter status bar tap handling to improve scroll-to-top behavior on iOS. The review comment regarding the Podfile.lock parsing error handling was addressed by suggesting a more visible warning.

If parsing Podfile.lock fails, it might be better to log a warning instead of just a trace message. A trace message can be easily missed, and the subsequent incomplete dependency analysis could lead to confusing build failures if a transitive dependency is excluding the arm64 architecture. A warning would make the user aware of the potential issue.
globals.logger.printWarning('Failed to parse Podfile.lock: $e. This may lead to an incomplete dependency analysis for iOS builds.');|

Impact Description:
What is the impact (ex. visual jank on Samsung phones, app crash, cannot ship an iOS app)?
Does it impact development (ex. flutter doctor crashes when Android Studio is installed),
or the shipping of production apps (the app crashes on launch).
This information is for domain experts and release engineers to understand the consequences of saying yes or no to the cherry pick.
This build iOS tooling as fat binaries (arm and x86) so that is no longer requires Rosetta. Rosetta is being sunset and Apple is apparently already showing warnings when x86 binaries are used with Rosetta: https://www.macrumors.com/2026/02/16/macos-tahoe-26-4-rosetta-2-warnings/
Changelog Description:
Explain this cherry pick:
See best practices for examples.
[flutter/121178] When running your app on a physical iOS device, binary tools used to deploy the app are only built with x86 and therefore require Rosetta.
Workaround:
Is there a workaround for this issue?
Ignore warnings
Risk:

Are you confident that your fix is well-tested by automated tests?
Validation Steps:
What are the steps to validate that this fix works?
Run and deploy to an iOS device (validated by CI)
