Missing iOS symbols with flutter 3.44.x with SPM enabled

[bjartebore]

Submission checklist

• I have confirmed the issue is present in the latest version of the rive Flutter package
• I have searched the documentation and forums and could not find an answer
• I have searched existing issues and this is not a duplicate

Description

When building a production build of our app we noticed in our logging that the rive player fails with the following error Failed to lookup symbol 'makeFlutterFactory': dlsym(RTLD_DEFAULT, makeFlutterFactory): symbol not found.. The player works fine with flutter run, we only se this with production builds after upgrading to flutter 3.44.

After some debugging it seems like the symbol files are not included when building with SPM. Changing back to cocoapods with enable-swift-package-manager: false makes it work.

We're looking into fixing the underlying issue

We have probably the same issue which results in no Rive Anomation being shown in the production app.
