Deprecate imperative apply of Flutter's Gradle plugins

Framework · Official source

To build a Flutter app for Android, Flutter's Gradle plugins must be applied. Historically, this was done imperatively with Gradle's legacy, imperative apply script method.

Who is affected
Code that still calls the deprecated API; it keeps working until removal but produces analyzer warnings.
Practical impact
Warnings now; removal in a future release. Plan the migration but no immediate break.
What action should I take?
Replace the deprecated API before it is removed. Run `dart fix --dry-run` to see whether an automated fix exists.
Official migration guide·Verified classification (90%)

Listed in the official breaking-changes index; title states deprecation.

An official announcement or migration guide documents an intended behaviour or API change. A verified source change (git diff) shows code changed but does not by itself prove a public API is breaking. AI interpretations are labelled and never used to classify a change.
