What is being proposed?

Raise the minimum supported macOS version to 10.14 (Mojave), dropping support for the current minimum supported version, macOS 10.13 (High Sierra). As Mojave requires Metal support, this will also eliminate the OpenGL backend. Support for the following hardware will be dropped:

  • 2009-2010 MacBook
  • 2010-2011 MacBook Pro
  • 2010-2011 MacBook Air
  • 2010-2011 Mac mini
  • 2009-2011 iMac
  • 2010 Mac Pro (unless GPU been upgraded to a Metal-capable GPU)

Cleanups

Post-stable

At most, packages in the https://github.com/flutter/packages repo support current stable release and the two previous stable releases. When Flutter 3.7 becomes the "stable - 2" release:

This can be done via the following command, followed by whatever changes are necessary to clean up:

dart script/tool/bin/flutter_plugin_tools.dart update-min-sdk \
    --flutter-min=3.7.0          \
    --run-on-changed-packages    \
    --base-branch=upstream/main

  • Update all existing Flutter plugins to macOS 10.14

This one is also post-stable, since our policy is to support stable with our packages.

Increase minimum supported macOS version from 10.13 to 10.14 (#114713)
3c9288c 
Increases the minimum macOS deployment target from macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) to 10.14 (Mojave) in the macOS app templates.

Includes:
* Update migration for macOS 10.11 apps to upgrade to 10.14
* Adds migration for macOS 10.13 apps to upgrade to 10.14
* Apply migration to all examples, and integration tests

This does not increase version in the plugin templates since those will need to wait until the 10.14 framework rolls to stable channel, so new plugins can build with apps created with `flutter create` on stable channel.

[macOS] Remove OpenGL rendering backend
4200d23 
In flutter/buildroot#648 (rolled to the engine in flutter#37380)
the minimum macOS SDK was bumped from 10.13 to 10.14. As of macOS 10.14,
Metal is available for all users. This eliminates the macOS OpenGL
rendering support code.

Note that this only removes the GL-specific code in the embedder. A
followup patch will land refactorings to clean up the remaining code,
for example, cases where a parent interface exists only because we had
both a GL and a Metal implementation. This is being does in two patches
in order to keep review clear and simple and to simplify rebases of any
outstanding patches that also touches this code.

[macOS] Merge FlutterMetalCompositor, superclass
eaee743 
Now that OpenGL support in Flutter on macOS has been removed, the only
FlutterCompositor implementation is the Metal-based compositor. This

longer any reason to keep the interface separate from its implementation.

[macOS] Consolidate external texture classes
1b099cb 
Previously, external textures were modelled in the macOS embedder by a
top-level FlutterMacOSExternalTexture protocol with a single textureID
getter, and two implementations: FlutterExternalTextureGL and
FlutterExternalTextureMetal.

With the removal of OpenGL support from the macOS embedder, the only
remaining external texture implementation is Metal. This patch squashes
this set of types into a single FlutterExternalTexture class.

[macOS] Merge FlutterSurfaceManager and impls
65061e6 
Previously, FlutterSurfaceManager was a protocol with two concrete
implementations: FlutterGLSurfaceManager and FlutterMetalSurfaceManager.
Most of the implementation was in a shared superclass,
FlutterIOSurfaceManager, which called into the OpenGL or Metal-specific
subclass when backend-specific operations (such as allocating textures)
was required. It did so via a delegate pattern, wherein the subclasses
both implemented the FlutterIOSurfaceManagerDelegate protocol that
exposed the backend-specific functionality.

Now that only the Metal implementation remains, the delegate code can be
inlined into the calling functions, and the class hierarchy can be
squashed into a single concrete implementation class,
FlutterSurfaceManager, similar to how it was originally implemented in
flutter#21525 before we had two backends.
