Research direction

Start with packages/device_info_plus/device_info_plus/ios/device_info_plus/Sources/device_info_plus/DeviceIdentifiers.m, especially userKnownDeviceModel and its identifier lookup. Trace how the plugin exposes the device model to Dart, then determine the Dart-side mapping boundary. Done means the mapping no longer depends on an Objective-C update and Shorebird-delivered updates can change it.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement triage
Plugin

device_info_plus

Use case

Would be great to have this mapping in dart instead of objc so people using Shorebird can push any new updates directly to user devices.

Proposal

DeviceIdentifiers.m userKnownDeviceModel depends on identifier which could individually be queried and then the mapping can be done on the dart side.
