airwatch_socket_workaround

Description:

airwatch socket workaround

airwatch_socket_workaround #
This plugin has been created to enable flutter apps to reach endpoints that are only reachable using a VMWare airwatch per app vpn.
Current status #
In development
TODO #

provide simple example using custom HttpClient
prepare for publishing
add examples for websocket
null safety
add example for multipart post
provide HLD

Getting started #
Example #
Example provides 3 basic use cases:

HTTP GET
Websocket (WIP)
HTTP Post multipart (WIP)

Http requests
Http requests can be sent using the 'native' socket by using AirWatchHttpWorkAround.
doRequest method receives a dart http Request which is part of dart http package
and handover the request to the native part of the plugin.
Example:
Future<String> get(String endpoint) {
var request = Request('GET', Uri.parse(endpoint));
return AirWatchWorkAroundFactory.getInstance().doRequest(request);
}

Why is this needed? #
Because Flutter(dart actually) currently is not respecting system "proxy" and therefore
per APN VPN solutions, like vmware AirWatch do not work.
Therefore, this class should only be used in IOS Plugin based Network client
The responsibility of using only in IOS is not enforced in any way by this class, it is delegated to plugin users.
Other considerations #
Why not fetching system proxy? #
Trying to get the current system proxy DO NOT WORK, since the system proxy is always null.
Is there already a bug for this? #
An issue exists in flutter: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/41500

Publish (NOT WORKING) action is described in .github/workflows/public.yml. Currently is not working since i do not wish to upload my personal google credentials to a github secret.
