Summary of Improvements
google_cloud
* Public `getMetadataValue`: Exposed getMetadataValue in package:google_cloud/general.dart. This allows other packages (like googleapis_auth) to utilize the process-wide metadata caching.
* Analyzer Clean: Fixed unused and unnecessary import lints.
* Refined Tests: Verified all tests pass with the newly public API.
googleapis_auth
* Unified Caching: Updated MetadataServerAuthorizationFlow to use getMetadataValue from google_cloud. This enables process-wide caching of service account scopes, reducing redundant metadata server requests.
* Modernized Syntax:
* Adopted pattern matching in utils.dart (parseAccessToken) and adc_utils.dart (fromApplicationsCredentialsFile) for more concise and idiomatic JSON parsing.
* Utilized null-aware map entries (? syntax) in IAMSigner.
* Test Enhancements:
* Integrated `package:test_descriptor` for Application Default Credentials (ADC) tests, replacing manual temporary file management.
* Fixed IAMSigner tests to correctly handle MetadataServerException (updating expectations and documentation).
* Added refresh support to MetadataServerAuthorizationFlow.run() to allow tests (and users) to bypass the metadata cache when necessary.
* Health Check: Both packages are now fully analyzer clean and pass all tests.
The path dependency override in googleapis_auth/pubspec.yaml correctly points to your local google_cloud changes.
