Research direction

Start with package_info_plus's existing packageInfo.buildSignature behavior on Android, then identify the iOS and macOS plugin entry points that would provide equivalent signing information. Done means the method returns the correct signing-key hash on both Apple platforms while preserving the existing Android behavior.

Description

Plugin

package_info_plus

Use case

Right now the packageInfo.buildSignature method returns a SHA256 hex string (without colon byte delimiters)

just in Android.

package_info_plus already has the basic functionality, why not just extend it to also deliver the signing key hash for iOS, and make it cross-platform? The signing key is also used to lock down Apple APIs. (Although they use only one key for debug and release, unlike Android.)
