[packages] Dart packages with Flutter-requiring dev dependencies fail to publish #192709
Description
The last two pigeon versions failed to publish, because since the addition of a jni dev_dependency we get:
============================================================
|| Running for packages/packages/pigeon
============================================================
Publishing...
Running `pub publish --force` in /home/runner/work/packages/packages/packages/pigeon...
Resolving dependencies...
Because pigeon depends on jni >=0.1.1 which requires the Flutter SDK, version solving failed.
Flutter users should use `flutter pub` instead of `dart pub`.
Publishing pigeon failed.
We have repo tooling logic that switches commands based on whether the package requires the Flutter SDK or not, but this is a new edge case that we aren't handling. We'll need to either walk the transitive dependency tree looking for Flutter SDK requirements, or—probably what we'll do at least for now, since it will be much simpler—hard-code the ones that actually come up for us in practice, like jni.
(For now, I'll publish these versions manually.)
