Apple removed Rosetta 2 from the default iOS 26 simulator runtime, which breaks `flutter run` for any project depending on Google ML Kit on Apple Silicon Macs. The published GoogleMLKit/* CocoaPods only ship arm64-iphoneos and x86_64-iphonesimulator slices and pin EXCLUDED_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*] = arm64, so the simulator build no longer finds a matching destination and dies with "Unable to find a destination matching the provided destination specifier". Until Google publishes proper arm64-iphonesimulator slices (https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/178965151), this change ships an opt-in Podfile helper under google_mlkit_commons that: 1. Re-labels the existing arm64 device slice of every ML Kit framework binary as iOS Simulator. Only the 4-byte LC_BUILD_VERSION.platform field is changed (2 -> 7), the same approach the well-known arm64-to-sim tool uses on closed-source SDKs. Idempotent. 2. Strips EXCLUDED_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*] = arm64 from the xcconfigs CocoaPods generates from the pod's user_target_xcconfig, so the user's app target is allowed to build for arm64-iphonesimulator. The example/ios Podfile is wired to call the helper from post_install, which lets the example app build, install and run on an Apple Silicon iOS 26.3 simulator. End-to-end validated: Text Recognition on the Text-From-Widget view returned the exact widget text. Device builds and release builds are not affected. Closes flutter-ml#825
The Ruby and Python entry points already have a brief header pointing at the README. Per-function docstrings were restating what the function name already said, and the Podfile inline comments duplicated the helper's self-documenting name.
- Add Ruby helper script for Podfile integration - Add Python script to re-label arm64 device slices as iOS Simulator - Update example Podfile to use the opt-in helper - Document the solution in google_mlkit_commons/README.md This enables Google ML Kit to build on Apple Silicon iOS 26+ simulators where Rosetta 2 is no longer the default. Fixes Google internal issue #178965151.
Add Package.swift files for: - google_mlkit_commons: MLKitVision, MLImage, Common dependencies - google_mlkit_pose_detection: MLKitPoseDetection, MLKitPoseDetectionCommon, MLKitVision, MLImage, Common dependencies This resolves the Swift Package Manager migration warning and prepares the plugins for future Flutter versions that will require SPM support. Uses d-date/google-mlkit-swiftpm as the MLKit binary distribution. Fixes issue flutter-ml#868
This extends PR flutter-ml#870 to cover all ML Kit packages that need Swift Package Manager support for Flutter 3.44+ iOS builds. Packages with MLKit dependencies: - google_mlkit_barcode_scanning: MLKitBarcodeScanning - google_mlkit_digital_ink_recognition: MLKitDigitalInkRecognition - google_mlkit_document_scanner: MLKitDocumentScanner - google_mlkit_entity_extraction: MLKitEntityExtraction - google_mlkit_face_detection: MLKitFaceDetection - google_mlkit_face_mesh_detection: MLKitFaceMesh - google_mlkit_image_labeling: MLKitImageLabeling, MLKitImageLabelingCommon - google_mlkit_language_id: MLKitLanguageID - google_mlkit_object_detection: MLKitObjectDetection - google_mlkit_selfie_segmentation: MLKitSegmentationSelfie - google_mlkit_smart_reply: MLKitSmartReply - google_mlkit_text_recognition: MLKitTextRecognition - google_mlkit_translation: MLKitTranslate - google_mlkit_subject_segmentation: MLKitSegmentationSubject GenAI packages (iOS stubs only) - no MLKit dependencies: - google_mlkit_genai_image_description - google_mlkit_genai_prompt - google_mlkit_genai_proofreading - google_mlkit_genai_rewriting - google_mlkit_genai_speech_recognition - google_mlkit_genai_summarization All packages now support Swift Package Manager using d-date/google-mlkit-swiftpm as the MLKit binary distribution. Fixes issue flutter-ml#868

Summary
This PR adds Swift Package Manager (SPM) support for iOS, resolving issue #868.
Problem
All ML Kit plugins trigger a warning when building for iOS with Flutter 3.44+:
CocoaPods is now in maintenance mode and Swift Package Manager will be required for Flutter iOS builds.
Solution
Added
Package.swiftmanifests for 22 ML Kit packages with iOS implementations:Packages with MLKit dependencies:

No additional configuration needed - Flutter 3.44+ automatically detects and uses
Package.swiftfiles when building for iOS.Uses the community-maintained d-date/google-mlkit-swiftpm package for ML Kit binary dependencies.
