This PR introduces optional Native Interop to Pigeon, enabling direct communication between Dart and native code without the overhead of traditional MethodChannel serialization. It leverages FFI (Foreign Function Interface) for Swift (iOS/macOS) and JNI (Java Native Interface) for Kotlin (Android).
This represents a significant architectural shift, moving from message-based passing to direct memory sharing and function calls. It also updates the concurrency model for asynchronous methods, moving from completion handlers/callbacks to modern language features: async/await in Swift and Coroutines in Kotlin.
Generators Covered
Swift Generator: Updated to support FFI bindings and async/await for asynchronous methods.
Kotlin Generator: Updated to support JNI bindings and Kotlin Coroutines for asynchronous methods.
Dart Generator: Updated to handle the generated interop bindings on the Dart side.
What's In Scope
Tests: Added ni_tests.dart and associated generated files and integration tests to verify the feature.
