Android counter example non-functional

[lhoward]

After rebasing our swift-java fork to the latest version, the counter example appears to compile and link for Android, but not function completely.

Setting a breakpoint on the C symbol for methodCallHandler breaks, so it appears that it's almost working. However I never see the counter update. This previously worked.

This may be an issue with event channels that affects all platforms; investigating.

I'm not set up for testing on Android atm, but if this is the same issue as https://github.com/PADL/inferno_ui/issues/93:

Maybe helpful flutter/flutter#169339 (comment)
<meta-data android:name="io.flutter.embedding.android.EnablePlatformIsolates" android:value="false" /> <!-- Makes every plain isolate run in its own thread -->
<meta-data android:name="io.flutter.embedding.android.DisableMergedPlatformUIThread" android:value="true" /> <!-- Makes service isolate run in a separate thread -->

Most likely! Android is low priority at the moment, I will look again in 2026...
