Pull request overview
Migrates the Flutter template’s iOS/macOS dependency management away from CocoaPods and toward Swift Package Manager (SPM), including updating the app’s in-app logging inspector from Alice to Talker to avoid native iOS dependencies that trigger CocoaPods.
Changes:
- Remove CocoaPods integration artifacts (Podfiles/locks, Pods references, xcconfig includes, Xcode project build phases) for iOS and macOS.
- Add/commit SPM resolution files and update Xcode project/scheme/workspace settings to support SPM-driven plugin integration.
- Replace
alice/alice_diowithtalker_flutter/talker_dio_loggerand update app logging wiring + documentation accordingly.

- macOS Runner.xcodeproj no longer references CocoaPods (Pods project/workspace ref + [CP] phases removed), but it also does not add the Flutter SPM integration (e.g., FlutterGeneratedPluginSwiftPackage / packageReferences / packageProductDependencies) that was added for iOS. With only the Flutter shell scripts left, macOS plugin dependencies (path_provider, shared_preferences, url_launcher, etc.) are likely no longer linked, and
flutter build macos/ Xcode builds may fail.
Add the Swift Package Manager integration for macOS as well (mirror the iOS FlutterGeneratedPluginSwiftPackage wiring):
- add an
XCLocalSwiftPackageReferencepointing toFlutter/ephemeral/Packages/FlutterGeneratedPluginSwiftPackage - add an
XCSwiftPackageProductDependency - include that product in the Runner target’s Frameworks phase /
packageProductDependencies - include the package in the project’s
packageReferences

You can remove the (Template) prefixes because all changes in this PR are affecting the application and not the templating engine.

Description
Migrates the Flutter template's iOS/macOS dependency management from CocoaPods to Swift Package Manager (SPM)
SPM Migration:
PodfileandPodfile.lockfrom bothios/andmacos/directoriesproject.pbxproj(iOS + macOS) of all CocoaPods build phases and referencespod deintegrateto remove CocoaPods check scripts from the Xcode projectWorkspaceSettings.xcsettingsand SPMPackage.resolvedAlice → Talker replacement:
alice+alice_diowithtalker_flutter+talker_dio_logger(pure Dart packages with no native iOS dependencies)alicewas the only remaining package pulling transitive dependencies (open_filex,permission_handler_apple) that did not support SPM, causing Flutter to fall back to CocoaPods at build timetalker_flutterprovides equivalent functionality: in-app log viewer, HTTP request inspector, and Dio interceptorResult: The iOS build completes with zero CocoaPods involvement — no Podfile, no Pods directory, no
pod install, all dependencies resolve via SPM.Console Talker in app debug mode
