## Summary

The `useInheritedMediaQuery` properties in `WidgetsApp`, `MaterialApp`, and `CupertinoApp` were removed because these widget never introduced their own MediaQuery, the View widget takes care of that.

## Context

Historically, Flutter used `useInheritedMediaQuery` to determine whether a `WidgetsApp`, `MaterialApp`, or `CupertinoApp` should inherit the `MediaQuery` from its parent. This became redundant when `MediaQuery` inheritance became the default behavior.

## Migration guide

If your code previously used `useInheritedMediaQuery`, you can migrate it by deleting any usage of the property.

```dart diff
- useInheritedMediaQuery: true,
```

```dart diff
- useInheritedMediaQuery: false,
```

:::important
This migration isn't supported by `dart fix`.
