[Bug]: Bump MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET to Flutter minimum (10.14)

[luisredondo]

Description

Flutter actively replaces targets 10.11 and 10.13 in their source code. Reference: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/master/packages/flutter_tools/lib/src/macos/migrations/macos_deployment_target_migration.dart#L51

They did a whole doc explaining why to stop support for 10.13: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wHqr2cob78VfUKhOFEKjaUM_mnV4gL-mg3gSQCFhF7Y/edit

Here is another issue tracking the progress of the update, where it highlights platforms that will lose support if minimun target is >10.13: flutter/flutter#114445

I think the minimum target for MacOS should be bump in all the plus_plugins to the minimum one that the latest stable version supports, since the warning is there for a reason, which it's probably to prevent unexpected behavior.

I can implement this if you agree with the bumping!

Platform

macos

Plugin

connectivity_plus

Version

connectivity_plus: ^5.0.2

Flutter SDK

3.16.5

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a flutter default project with the latest stable version.
2. Add connectivity_plus as dependency.
3. flutter run -d macos
4. Look at the console and we should see what listed in Logs.

Thanks for catching this and providing a detailed information about the reasoning.

Considering that min supported in this table: https://docs.flutter.dev/reference/supported-platforms is also 10.14 as it is noted in the document you shared, I agree with the need to bump min iOS for all plugins.

I can implement this if you agree with the bumping!

Sure, go ahead. But please create a separate PR for every plugin for flexibility, so we don't have to run the whole set of CI checks for all plugins at once.

Hey @luisredondo
Could you share if there are plan to create such PRs in some nearest time or later?
Asking, because I would like to release this change of min support MacOS as a major version bump and, ideally, I would like to combine some other breaking change PRs together, like #2508 to not increase major version many times.

Hey @vbuberen! I will do it later today. 🙌
