[tool] Accept plutil diagnostics from stderr in plist_parser_test (macOS 26) (#193292) Fixes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/193159 ## What's failing Two tests in `plist_parser_test.dart` fail on macOS 26 (first seen on `staging.shadow/Mac tool_integration_tests_1` at Mac-26.6.2 / Xcode 17C52, https://ci.chromium.org/b/8670252478857878881): - `PlistParser.getValueFromFile<String> returns null for a malformed plist file` - `PlistParser.replaceKey returns false for a malformed plist file` Both tests still get the right result (`null` / `false`, and `plutil` still exits 1). What changed is where `plutil` prints its error: - Before macOS 26, `plutil` printed `<path>: Property List error: … / JSON error: …` on **stdout**. - On macOS 26, `plutil` was rewritten (Apple open-sourced the new version in swift-corelibs-foundation, `Sources/plutil/PLUContext.swift`) and the same message now goes to **stderr**. `ProcessUtils.runSync` logs a failed command's stdout with `printStatus` and its stderr with `printError`. So on macOS 26 `logger.statusText` is empty and the diagnostic shows up in `logger.errorText` instead, ahead of the `ProcessException:` line. The tests only looked at `statusText`. #172913 ran into the same plutil change last year in `xcode_backend.dart`. ## The fix Test-only change. `PlistParser` itself is fine. - Look for the plutil diagnostic in `statusText + errorText` rather than `statusText` alone, so the test passes whichever stream plutil uses. The full message is still asserted, so a change in the wording would still be caught. - Check that `errorText` ends with the `ProcessException` block instead of equalling it, since on macOS 26 the plutil message now comes first. ## How I verified it - Ran the tests locally. - led run of `Mac tool_integration_tests_1` (subshard `1_10`, the one that contains `plist_parser_test.dart`) on a Mac-26.6.2 bot (`mac-340-g140`, the same bot as the original failure) at this PR's head: https://ci.chromium.org/b/8669753954317678657 — green, both tests pass. ## Pre-launch Checklist - [x] I read the [Contributor Guide] and followed the process outlined there for submitting PRs. - [x] I read the [Tree Hygiene] wiki page, which explains my responsibilities. - [x] I read and followed the [Flutter Style Guide], including [Features we expect every widget to implement]. - [x] I signed the [CLA]. - [x] I listed at least one issue that this PR fixes in the description above. - [x] I updated/added relevant documentation (doc comments with `///`). - [x] I added new tests to check the change I am making, or this PR is [test-exempt]. - [x] I followed the [breaking change policy] and added [Data Driven Fixes] where supported. - [x] All existing and new tests are passing.

Flutter is Google's SDK for crafting beautiful, fast user experiences for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase. Flutter works with existing code, is used by developers and organizations around the world, and is free and open source.
For release and other announcements, join the flutter-announce mailing list. Our documentation also tracks breaking changes across releases.
The Flutter tool may occasionally download resources from Google servers. By downloading or using the Flutter SDK, you agree to the Google Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms
For example, when installed from GitHub (as opposed to from a prepackaged archive), the Flutter tool will download the Dart SDK from Google servers immediately when first run, as it is used to execute the flutter tool itself. This will also occur when Flutter is upgraded (e.g. by running the flutter upgrade command).
We think Flutter will help you create beautiful, fast apps, with a productive, extensible and open development model, whether you're targeting iOS or Android, web, Windows, macOS, Linux or embedding it as the UI toolkit for a platform of your choice.
We want to enable designers to deliver their full creative vision without being forced to water it down due to limitations of the underlying framework. Flutter‘s layered architecture gives you control over every pixel on the screen and its powerful compositing capabilities let you overlay and animate graphics, video, text, and controls without limitation. Flutter includes a full set of widgets that deliver pixel-perfect experiences whether you’re building for iOS (Cupertino) or other platforms (Material), along with support for customizing or creating entirely new visual components.
Flutter is fast. It's powered by hardware-accelerated 2D graphics libraries like Skia (which underpins Chrome and Android) and Impeller. We architected Flutter to support glitch-free, jank-free graphics at the native speed of your device.
Flutter code is powered by the world-class Dart programming language, which enables compilation to 32-bit and 64-bit ARM machine code for iOS and Android, JavaScript and WebAssembly for the web, as well as Intel x64 and ARM for desktop devices.
Flutter offers stateful hot reload, allowing you to make changes to your code and see the results instantly without restarting your app or losing its state.
Flutter works with any development tool (or none at all), and also includes editor plug-ins for both Visual Studio Code and IntelliJ / Android Studio. Flutter provides tens of thousands of packages to speed your development, regardless of your target platform. And accessing other native code is easy, with support for both FFI (on Android, on iOS, on macOS, on Linux, and on Windows) as well as platform-specific APIs.
Flutter is a fully open-source project, and we welcome contributions. Information on how to get started can be found in our contributor guide.
