#166668

Changelog Description:

Explain this cherry pick in one line that is accessible to most Flutter developers. See best practices for examples

For Flutter users on iOS, this fixes a case where images can fail to load and present themselves as magenta boxes when the Flutter app is created in the background state (example: responding to notifications).

Impact Description:

What is the impact (ex. visual jank on Samsung phones, app crash, cannot ship an iOS app)? Does it impact development (ex. flutter doctor crashes when Android Studio is installed), or the shipping production app (the app crashes on launch)

Images present themselves as magenta boxes.

No.

* Caveat, the typical workflow is well tested. The problematic workflow that this fixes is not.

The reproduction steps are quite involved and require manipulation of the operating system. Slava was able to reproduce the problem and verify manually that this change fixes it.

…ter#171785)

Started querying the app state for the gpu disabled sync switch when
starting an engine without a view controller

fixes flutter#166668

Testing: Integration test is not possible since it would require
manipulation of the operating system and killing / restoring the app.
Unit tests would require executing in the background or mocking out
background detection which is pretty contrived and will complicate
engine initialization. The simple cases will be covered with integration
tests like the wide gamut devicelab tests which loads an image at
startup and grabs a screenshot of it.
