Description
`firebase_ui_auth` 3.1.0 pins `app_links: ^6.4.0`. `app_links` 7.x has been out for a while (currently 7.2.1) and includes the UIScene lifecycle adoption, so any app using `firebase_ui_auth` is held on 6.4.1 and gets this on every iOS launch:
```
Plugin AppLinksIosPlugin uses deprecated application lifecycle events. Please contact plugin maintainers and request UIScene lifecycle support. This will be required in a future version of Flutter.
```
Flutter has said these warnings will become errors in a future release, so this will eventually break builds rather than just being noise.
From the app_links changelog the 6 to 7 bump looks small on the consuming side. Would you accept a PR widening the constraint to `">=6.4.0 <8.0.0"` (or straight `^7.0.0`) if the API usage in firebase_ui_auth is compatible?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Locate the firebase_ui_auth package dependency declaration and inspect its app_links API usage, then compare that usage with the app_links 7.x changelog. Run the package's existing tests and dependency resolution checks. Done means the supported constraint accepts the intended app_links release without API or build failures and addresses the reported iOS lifecycle warning.
