Code Review

This pull request updates the CocoaPods validation logic, changing the status from missing to partial and modifying log messages to label installation issues as errors. Review feedback suggests using ValidationMessage.warning instead of ValidationMessage.hint to better reflect the importance of the dependency for iOS and macOS builds, while also recommending consistency across all CocoaPods failure states.

The PR title and description indicate that the CocoaPods doctor check is being downgraded to a warning. However, the implementation uses ValidationMessage.hint. To better align with the intended severity and the fact that CocoaPods is a required dependency for iOS/macOS builds, consider using ValidationMessage.warning instead. This ensures the message is clearly identified as a warning in the flutter doctor output.

Additionally, please verify if the belowMinimumVersion status (which likely follows these cases in the file) also needs to be updated to ValidationType.partial and use a warning message to ensure consistency across all CocoaPods failure states in the doctor check.

Suggested change
status = ValidationType.partial;
messages.add(
ValidationMessage.error(
ValidationMessage.hint(
_userMessages.cocoaPodsMissing(noCocoaPodsConsequence, cocoaPodsInstallInstructions),
),
status = ValidationType.partial;
messages.add(
ValidationMessage.warning(
_userMessages.cocoaPodsMissing(noCocoaPodsConsequence, cocoaPodsInstallInstructions),
),
