rive_native 0.1.9 fails to compile on Flutter 3.29.3 #643

Submission checklist

• I have confirmed the issue is present in the latest version of the rive Flutter package
• I have searched the documentation and forums and could not find an answer
• I have searched existing issues and this is not a duplicate

Description

SemanticsConfiguration.isRequired and SemanticsRole undefined despite flutter: ">=3.28.0" declared minimum

rive_native 0.1.9 (shipped as a transitive dependency of rive 0.14.9) fails to compile on Flutter 3.29.3
across all platforms (iOS, Android, web). The package declares flutter: ">=3.28.0" in its pubspec but uses
Flutter semantics APIs that do not exist in Flutter 3.29.3:

• SemanticsConfiguration.isRequired (setter)
• SemanticsRole (class — with values .tab, .listItem, .list, .tabBar, .dialog, .alertDialog, .radioGroup)

Both are referenced in rive_native/lib/src/semantics/rive_semantics_overlay.dart.

Reproduction steps / code

1. Install Flutter 3.29.3
2. Create a Flutter project and add rive: ^0.14.9 to pubspec.yaml
3. Run flutter pub get
4. Run flutter run on any target (iOS device, simulator, or web)
5. Compilation fails

Rive Flutter package version

Flutter version

Device

iMac 2017, Intel, macOS Ventura 13.6.7

OS version

macOS 13.6.7 (22G720)

Additional context

macOS Ventura (13.x) cannot run Flutter 3.44+ which requires macOS 14+.

This means any developer on an older Mac who upgrades to rive 0.14.9 is blocked from building their app. Downgrading to rive 0.13.x restores compilation but requires rewriting all ViewModel binding code since the API changed significantly between 0.13 and 0.14.
