[shared_preferences] Defer SharedPreferences fetch in `LegacySharedPreferencesPlugin` until first use on Android (#13431) Defers `getSharedPreferences` in `LegacySharedPreferencesPlugin` out of `onAttachedToEngine` until first use, avoiding synchronous disk I/O on the Android main thread during startup. The following screenshot shows that the time taken for `RegisterFlutterPlugin` significantly decreases with the change, which validates the fix: <img width="1920" height="552" alt="shared_preferences_registration_comparison_perfetto" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c1fea032-a499-4fa4-91de-13648ea03999" /> I also previously implemented this in my app, which was later negated by an upgrade of the shared_preferences packages into g3 and caused cold startup latency regression alerts on my app. Hoping to upstream the fix to get this optimization to all Flutter users. https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/195313 will be fixed by this PR. ## Pre-Review Checklist **Note**: The Flutter team is currently trialing the use of [Gemini Code Assist for GitHub](https://developers.google.com/gemini-code-assist/docs/review-github-code). Comments from the `gemini-code-assist` bot should not be taken as authoritative feedback from the Flutter team. If you find its comments useful you can update your code accordingly, but if you are unsure or disagree with the feedback, please feel free to wait for a Flutter team member's review for guidance on which automated comments should be addressed. [^1]: Regular contributors who have demonstrated familiarity with the repository guidelines only need to comment if the PR is not auto-exempted by repo tooling.
