Deep links flag change

This breaking change only affects mobile apps that use a third party deep linking plugin package.

The default value for Flutter's deep linking option has changed from false to true, meaning that deep linking is now opt-in by default.

If you're using Flutter's default deep linking setup, this isn't a breaking change for you.

However, if you're using a third-party plugin for deep links, such as the following, this update introduces a breaking change:

• Firebase dynamic links
• package:uni_link
• package:app_links
• package:flutter_branch_sdk

In this case, you must manually reset the Flutter deep linking option to false.

Within your app's AndroidManifest.xml file for Android:

<manifest>
   <application
       <activity>
<meta-data android:name="flutter_deeplinking_enabled" android:value="false" />
       </activity>
   </application>
</manifest>

Within your app's info.plist file for iOS:

 <key>FlutterDeepLinkingEnabled</key>
 <false/>

Landed in version: 3.25.0-0.1.pre
Stable release: 3.27
