Bump engine and SDK to Flutter 3.44.6, fix tvOS<26 simulator crash (1.4.1) - #39
Merged
Conversation
Repins the Flutter SDK to 3.44.6 (ee80f08b) and the tvOS engine artifacts to v1.0.0-flutter3.44.6, and releases this as 1.4.1. 3.44.6 is a three-commit hotfix over 3.44.5 (a Linux native-assets crash fix and an Android Gradle jniLibs staging fix). It carries no engine source changes and no DEPS movement, so dart_revision is unchanged and there is no SDK-hash break. The artifacts were rebuilt from the 3.44.6 tree anyway so the engine tag and the SDK pin stay in lockstep; all 17 tvOS patches applied unchanged. Upstream's build_system targets were untouched, so the four mirrored subclasses (TvosKernelSnapshot, TvosCopyFlutterBundle, TvosDartPluginRegistrantTarget, TvosAotElfRelease) needed no re-mirroring. The rebuild used tvOS SDK 26.5 (Xcode 26.6) and is origin-signed, passing verify_artifacts.sh on all six variants. Verified against the new artifacts: dart analyze lib/ clean (0 errors, 0 warnings), 295 tests pass, simulator debug and device release/AOT builds both succeed with all 10 FFI symbols exported and App.framework at minos 13.0 (ITMS-90208 clear). Folds the unreleased #37 plugin-registration fix into the 1.4.1 entry.
Fixes #38 — apps crashed on the first frame on tvOS simulators older than 26, with all ~60 Impeller render pipelines failing "Target OS is incompatible" followed by a raw_ptr FATAL. The simulator engine embedded Impeller metallibs compiled for the *iOS* simulator (air64-apple-ios13.0.0-simulator). Metal validates a library's target platform when creating a pipeline, so the mismatch failed every pipeline; tvOS 26 tolerates it, which is why it only reproduced on older runtimes. The engine now compiles simulator metallibs against the AppleTVSimulator SDK (air64-apple-tvos13.0.0-simulator). Device builds were never affected. Engine fix in fluttertv/engine#6; artifacts republished under a new tag because the CLI caches by the engine.version string, so replacing assets on the existing tag would not refresh anyone who already precached. Verified on a tvOS 17.5 simulator with the flutter_tvos example: 60 errors and a FATAL before, 0 and 0 after, app launches and renders with hot reload and DevTools. tvOS 26.5 re-checked for regression. 297 tests pass, analyze clean.

* chore(release): upgrade engine to Flutter 3.44.2 (1.3.1) Bump flutter.version to c9a6c484 (Flutter 3.44.2) and engine.version to v1.0.0-flutter3.44.2. Engine artifacts rebuilt against Dart d684a576. A Flutter-version-only bump keeps simulator/debug working but breaks AOT with 'gen_snapshot: Invalid SDK hash' (old gen_snapshot cannot load kernel compiled by the new Dart SDK), so the engine rebuild is required for device/release builds. * fix(platform): make tvOS platform identity correct in AOT/release builds Platform.operatingSystem / isIOS / isTvOS carry @pragma("vm:platform-const"), which gen_snapshot const-folds in AOT from the build's --target-os. Stock Flutter passes --target-os ios for TargetPlatform.ios (which tvOS rides), so release baked in operatingSystem == "ios" and isTvOS == false for all app and plugin code — correct in JIT/debug, dead on device in release. Keep debug and release on the same runtime-resolution path: - TvosKernelSnapshot.build() mirrors upstream KernelSnapshot.build() but passes targetOS: null, so the platform-const getters are not folded and resolve at runtime to "tvos" (the engine's patched kHostOperatingSystemName). - TvosArtifacts overrides flutterPatchedSdkPath / platformKernelDill for AOT only to the patched flutter_patched_sdk in the host engine artifact, so the un-folded isIOS initializer is operatingSystem == "ios" || == "tvos" and the isTvOS getter exists. Debug keeps the stock SDK (runtime resolution via the device engine makes the compile SDK irrelevant there). Verified on a physical Apple TV in release: operatingSystem == "tvos", isIOS == true, isTvOS == true, defaultTargetPlatform == iOS. Plugin isolation is unaffected — discovery is keyed on the pubspec tvos: key, not Platform.isIOS. Adds unit tests asserting the AOT frontend_server command omits --target-os and that the artifact override applies for AOT but falls through to stock for debug. The example info screen now surfaces the platform-identity values. * fix(rcu): retry the configure handshake until the native plugin is ready At app startup the native FlutterTvRemotePlugin may not have registered its button-channel handler yet when init() pushes the initial config. The one-shot invocation then throws MissingPluginException and the handshake is lost — native never sets frameworkReadyForTouches and the touchpad appears dead even though everything compiled. Retry on a short interval until the call is acknowledged or a newer config supersedes it. Guarded by a generation counter so a superseded or reset push bails out, and never runs on iOS/Android (init() is isTvos-gated). * docs(changelog): document the AOT platform-identity fix in 1.3.1 1.3.1 was never tagged, and the platform-identity fix landed on the same branch on top of the engine bump, so the release now carries a real CLI behaviour change. Drop the "no CLI behaviour change" note, add a Fixed section for the AOT Platform.operatingSystem/isIOS/isTvOS correction, note the bundled flutter_tvos 1.1.1, and move the date to the actual ship date. * fix(platform): compile profile AOT against the non-product host SDK Profile builds crashed at startup with `Type '_NetworkProfiling' not found in library 'dart.io'`. The patched-SDK override pointed both profile and release at the product host_release SDK, but the non-product profile engine looks up entry-point classes (e.g. dart:io _NetworkProfiling) that the product SDK doesn't retain through AOT tree-shaking. Map profile to the non-product host_debug_unopt SDK (which also carries the platform-identity patch), matching stock Flutter's flutter_patched_sdk (profile) vs flutter_patched_sdk_product (release) split. Release is unchanged. Verified on a physical Apple TV. * docs(changelog): note on-device debug (JIT/hot reload) fix for tvOS 26 The device-debug engine now maps JIT pages RWX up front so on-device --debug + hot reload work again on tvOS 26 (which denies the RW<->RX mprotect flip). Ships in the v1.0.0-flutter3.44.2 engine artifacts; debug-only, AOT keeps W^X. * test(artifacts): assert engine variant selection per build mode Guards that debug+simulator → tvos_debug_sim_arm64, debug+device → tvos_debug_arm64, profile → tvos_profile_arm64, release → tvos_release_arm64. A wrong mapping here is how a run mode silently picks the wrong engine. * rcu: report configure-handshake exhaustion + narrow retry catch (PR #24 review I1/I2) Addresses review feedback on the configure-handshake retry: - I1: _pushConfigWithRetry now only swallows the expected MissingPluginException / PlatformException. Any other error (e.g. a _config.toMap() serialization bug) propagates instead of being retried 50x and dropped indistinguishably from the startup race. On budget exhaustion it reports via FlutterError.reportError instead of giving up silently, consistent with the rest of the class. - I2: rewrote the retry test with fakeAsync + virtual-time ticks so it no longer leans on a real-wall-clock window a starved CI runner could blow. The unregistered-native state is modelled by a mock handler that throws MissingPluginException (a null handler would fall through to the real platform dispatcher, which fakeAsync can't pump). Added a test that the retry budget exhausting reports an error. * fix(precache): fetch only tvOS + universal artifacts Stock `flutter precache` with no platform flags downloads every enabled platform's artifacts (Android, iOS-engine, web, macOS). A tvOS embedder needs none of those. The command now drives the cache itself instead of delegating to `super.runCommand()`: it fetches the tvOS engine set plus the universal artifacts (fonts, patched SDK, host USB-deploy tools) and nothing else, while still honouring the stock per-platform flags (`--ios`, `--android`, `--all-platforms`, …) when passed explicitly. Also render the tvOS engine zips under a "tvOS Engine" header in the same nested tree style (` ├─ [1/6] …`) as the bundled Flutter SDK artifact. * fix(create): exit with usage when no output directory given `flutter-tvos create` with no output directory crashed with `Bad state: No element` because runCommand() read `rest.first` before validating. Call `validateOutputDirectoryArg()` up front so it prints the friendly usage message and exits with code 2, matching stock `flutter create`. * docs(changelog): note precache scope + create usage fixes * chore: upgrade to Flutter 3.44.3 (1.3.2) Refresh the pinned engine to Flutter 3.44.3 (e1fd963c, Dart d684a576). - bin/internal/flutter.version -> e1fd963c (Flutter 3.44.3) - bin/internal/engine.version -> v1.0.0-flutter3.44.3 - pubspec version -> 1.3.2 - Rebuilt all six engine artifact variants from the 3.44.3 source tree; all 17 tvOS patches apply cleanly and the artifact verification gate passes. Dart is unchanged, so AOT loads kernel without an SDK-hash mismatch. - Picks up the Flutter 3.44.3 flutter_tools fixes shipped in the SDK. Verified: dart analyze lib/ (0 errors), 262 tests pass, simulator-debug build succeeds, release AOT produces a valid App.framework. * docs: refresh READMEs for 3.44.3 and flutter_tvos 1.1.1 - Root README "Current version" table -> flutter-tvos 1.3.2, Flutter SDK 3.44.3 (e1fd963c), engine artifacts v1.0.0-flutter3.44.3. - flutter_tvos package README: install snippet -> ^1.1.1 and add Siri Remote support to the feature list (it shows on pub.dev). * release(flutter_tvos): 1.1.2 (docs refresh) Docs-only release so the pub.dev page picks up the README changes (Siri Remote in the feature list, updated install snippet). No functional or API changes. - packages/flutter_tvos/pubspec.yaml -> 1.1.2 - packages/flutter_tvos CHANGELOG + README (install snippet ^1.1.2) - example pubspec.lock -> 1.1.2 - CLI CHANGELOG: note bundled plugin 1.1.2 Not published — publish to pub.dev after this merges to main. * chore: gitignore per-user SwiftPM/Xcode state under plugin tvos/ Opening a plugin's tvos/Package.swift in Xcode generates .swiftpm/xcode/xcuserdata/ (per-user scheme state, e.g. xcschememanagement.plist) which is not source and must not be committed. - Add packages/flutter_tvos/tvos/.gitignore (.swiftpm/, xcuserdata/) — the bundled plugin's tvos/ had no .gitignore, so this junk was unignored. - Add the same rules to the porter's generated .gitignore (lib/plugin_porting/templates.dart), since the porter now emits a tvos/Package.swift and every ported plugin would otherwise hit this. * refactor(precache): testable artifact selection + harden flag parsing; add tests Addresses self-review findings on the precache scoping logic: - Extract the non-tvOS artifact selection into a pure, @VisibleForTesting `selectRequiredArtifacts(...)` and cover it with unit tests (test/general/tvos_precache_test.dart): default = universal+informative only, explicit platform flags add their artifacts, --all-platforms, feature-gating, and the android umbrella/child flags. - Guard `argResults.wasParsed(name)` with `argParser.options.containsKey` so a future Flutter DevelopmentArtifact without a matching precache flag cannot crash the command. - Honor an individual `--android_gen_snapshot/_maven/_internal_build` flag on its own, not only via the `--android` umbrella. - Drop the misleading `cache.isUpToDate()` fast-path: it checks every registered artifact (including platforms we intentionally skip), so it was effectively always false. `updateAll` is already idempotent per-artifact. - Add a test for `flutter-tvos create` with no output directory exiting with usage (code 2) instead of crashing (test/general/tvos_create_test.dart), plus a test/src re-export shim for createTestCommandRunner. * test: drop the create no-args test (transitively invokes Pub in CI) Running TvosCreateCommand through createTestCommandRunner pulls the full FlutterCommand pipeline, which transitively touches `Pub` — the flutter_tools test harness rejects that with "Attempted to invoke pub during test" (passes locally, fails in CI). The create no-output-dir fix is a single stock `validateOutputDirectoryArg()` call and is unchanged; the substantive coverage (precache artifact selection) is fully tested in tvos_precache_test.dart. * docs: PR template + contributing guide for the dev-branch workflow All PRs now target dev; main only receives release merges. The PR template asks for a CHANGELOG [Unreleased] entry, test/analyze runs, hardware or simulator verification, and reminds contributors that the ObjC and Swift registrant/template variants must be updated together. * docs(changelog): add [Unreleased] section for incoming PR entries * Skip plugin registration with a clear message when the engine isn't running (physical tvOS debug) (#37) * fix: skip plugin registration with a clear message when the engine is not running On a physical Apple TV the debug engine only starts with a debugger attached (see doc/architecture.md). Launched standalone, the engine never comes up and the generated registrant passes a nil registrar into the first Swift plugin, crashing with an unsymbolized SIGSEGV that blames that plugin. Probe the registry once with a synthetic key and, when it returns nil, log a clear message naming the cause and skip registration instead of crashing. * docs(changelog): note the standalone-debug-launch registration guard under [Unreleased] --------- Co-authored-by: Mehmet Ali Ustaoğlu <ali.ustaoglu@icloud.com> * Bump engine and SDK to Flutter 3.44.6, fix tvOS<26 simulator crash (1.4.1) (#39) * chore: bump engine and SDK to Flutter 3.44.6 Repins the Flutter SDK to 3.44.6 (ee80f08b) and the tvOS engine artifacts to v1.0.0-flutter3.44.6, and releases this as 1.4.1. 3.44.6 is a three-commit hotfix over 3.44.5 (a Linux native-assets crash fix and an Android Gradle jniLibs staging fix).

Target OS is incompatible, then the engine aborted:tvOS 26 tolerates the mismatch, which is why this went unnoticed and why the reporter saw it work on 26.5 but not 17.5.
