Cannot run rive-flutter tests with flutter 3.27.1 on main branch

Description

I'm trying to run flutter test on the rive-flutter repo (main branch). I get this error:
RiveFile.import called before RiveFile.initialize() for most of the tests.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Clone main branch of rive-flutter
2. Run flutter test
3. See error: RiveFile.import called before RiveFile.initialize()

Source .riv/.rev file

Not needed, happens for all tests.

Expected behavior

That the tests pass.

Additional context

Even if I add RiveFile.initialize() I get the following error (that is also reported as #354 and some other related issues):

The RiveFile.import called before RiveFile.initialize() is a warning and not an error. Mostly a consideration for use in production. For tests, it's not necessary to call RiveFile.initialize() unless you want to get rid of the warning.

The error you're getting is because the dynamic library does not exist for the tests to use. This issue provides relevant information and instructions for building it locally.

Please note that we will be improving this soon once Rive Flutter switches to using the new rive_native package.

Closing this for now as a duplicate.

Any large estimation when rive_native could hit first alpha? @HayesGordon
Thanks.

[HayesGordon]

@Solido we have a test release out to validate our build process, etc. https://pub.dev/packages/rive_native

We're working on finalizing the missing platforms and API

Pardon my enthusiasm ;)
