Tracking issue for add-to-app

[stevemessick]

There are some things that need to be done in Android Studio to support add-to-app. Some of these may be applicable to IntelliJ.

• Phase 1

• Update the new project wizard to allow language choice on the last page.

• Propagate run mode (profile, debug) to attach command. Make sure flutter attach can work on android/ios device/simulator debug/profile without parameters flutter#32999
  Completed via engine changes; PR Use Build Variants view to control Flutter build mode #4134 close w/o merging.

• Add entry-point to run configurations. Hot restart ignores the "entryPoint" parameter from FlutterArguments flutter#31490

• Add UI affordance to support continuously re-connecting the Android app during Flutter hot reload. flutter attach stays alive flutter#32824

• Add UI affordance to trigger Flutter build aar. Support flutter build aar flutter#26099

• Add support for flutter integrate to existing Flutter module in AS. Currently it only hooks in include_flutter.groovy. Make iOS cocoapods integration easier flutter#32993

• Launch devtools from Flutter attach button. (Are we sure we want to do this when we already have a button for it?) flutter attach should show DevTools in the resident runner and in IDEs flutter#33001

• Integration tests for IDE extensions. Ensure coverage for flutter add-to-app tools flutter#33144

• Phase 2

• Investigate re-use of AS resource management to support use of Android resources by Flutter modules. How to access the asset images from the native code in flutter flutter#31501

• Doing the inverse (access Flutter resources in Android code) would require changes to the Android Studio code base.

• Add a custom Project Structure editor to manage all of pubspec.yaml. (Once again.)

• Phase 3

• Investigate possibility of adding support for Flutter modules to AS Project Structure editor (may require changing AS code base).

• Phase 4

• Investigate possibility of editing Flutter code as part of an Android project (requires changes to AS code base).

• Index C++ code and support library management -- might be free if previous item is implemented.

Add UI affordance to support continuously re-connecting the Android app during Flutter hot reload. flutter/flutter#32824

nit: this would be for all device types where it makes sense

It may not be related, but #1369 might be good to keep in mind while doing this work.
