Native splash generation does not work in iOS if Info.plist is split into debug and release builds, as instructed in Flutter docs

[laurisvan]

Our app needs special network permissions for Flutter build and therefore we have had to split Info.plist into multiple files (debug & release), as in https://flutter.dev/docs/development/add-to-app/ios/project-setup#local-network-privacy-permissions

As a result, Info.plist no longer exists and we have Info-Debug.plist and Info-Release.plist. Therefore the build fails as follows:

flutter pub pub run flutter_native_splash:create
[Android] Creating splash images
[Android] Updating android/app/src/main/res/drawable/launch_background.xml with splash image path
[Android] Updating android/app/src/main/res/values/colors.xml with color for splash screen background
[Android] Updating styles.xml with full screen mode setting
[Android] Only 1 style in styles.xml. Flutter V2 embedding has 2 styles by default.  Full screen mode not supported in Flutter V1 embedding.  Skipping update of styles.xml with fullscreen mode
[iOS] Creating splash images
[iOS] Updating LaunchScreen.storyboard with width, and height
Unhandled exception:

While we could change the release build to use a file called Info.plist we would prefer to use the naming convention set as in the official docs. Would it be possible to provide a configuration switch to determine the actual file name for Info.plist, or something similar?
