Impacted Users: iOS users on macOS 15
Impact Description: mDNS may cause a crash on macOS 15 if permissions are missing. When possible use device logs to continue the process instead of using mDNS.
Workaround: Enable mDNS permissions
Risk: low
Test Coverage: Yes
Validation Steps: Toggle off Local Network permissions (System Settings > Privacy & Security > Local Network) and do flutter run on iOS 17+ physical device. Device should still connect.

Release note: This is a prerequisite to allowing stable branch to be upgraded to macOS 15

… devices (flutter#167135)

When we discover the Dart VM for iOS Core Devices (iOS 17+), we use both
the device logs and mDNS simultaneously. Since mDNS is having issues
with macOS 15, don't throw if mDNS errors - this will allow the Dart VM
to have a chance to be found by the device logs instead.

Improving experience for
flutter#150131.

Also should unblock flutter#166843.
