Describe the problem

UIScene was introduced in Flutter 3.38 behind a feature flag, but is now the default in Flutter 3.41. After migrating to UIScene, developers need to create method channels in their AppDelegate's didInitializeImplicitFlutterEngine instead of application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions.

See step 2 in https://docs.flutter.dev/release/breaking-changes/uiscenedelegate#migrate-appdelegate

Expected fix

The docs should reflect the correct place to create method channels when using UIScene and potentially urge people to migrate to UIScene if they have not already
