Once this is CP'd in 3.35, the `master` branch (post-3.35) can remove the workaround/tech debt.

### Changelog Description:
Explain this cherry pick in one line that is accessible to most Flutter developers. See [best practices](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/main/docs/releases/Hotfix-Documentation-Best-Practices.md) for examples

Fixes a bug where `TextInput.hide` call incorrect clears the text in the active text field.

### Impact Description:
What is the impact (ex. visual jank on Samsung phones, app crash, cannot ship an iOS app)? Does it impact development (ex. flutter doctor crashes when Android Studio is installed), or the shipping production app (the app crashes on launch)

If an app calls `TextInput.hide` to hide the software keyboard, the user input in the current active text field will also be erased. It impacts the production app.
The framework itself doesn't seem to call `TextInput.hide` in a way that would affect the user.

### Workaround:
Is there a workaround for this issue?

Yes, in theory, developers can store and restore the `TextEditingValue`, when they need to call `TextInput.hide`, to undo the clear. However I suspect the reverted PR may also [break voiceover](#145681 (comment)).

### Risk:
What is the risk level of this cherry-pick?

This is a revert of #160653. The reverted PR was merged in February, and the previous implementation was [introduced in 2021](flutter/engine#23776).

### Test Coverage:
Are you confident that your fix is well-tested by automated tests?

  - [] No

This change is a revert so the added test will also get reverted.

### Validation Steps:
What are the steps to validate that this fix works?

To verify the fix on master (it has already landed on master), run this app:
```dart
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  @OverRide
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
      theme: ThemeData(
        colorScheme: ColorScheme.fromSeed(seedColor: Colors.deepPurple),
        useMaterial3: true,
      ),
      home: const MyHomePage(),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyHomePage({super.key});

  @OverRide
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: Center(
        child: SizedBox(
          child: ListView(
            children: [
              TextButton(
                child: Text('hide keyboard'),
                onPressed: () =>
                    SystemChannels.textInput.invokeListMethod("TextInput.hide"),
              ),
              TextField(
                controller: TextEditingController(text: '️a' * 20),
                maxLines: 1,
              ),
            ],
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
```
focus the text field and then click the hide keyboard button. The text "aaaaaa..." should remain after the button is clicked.

This PR fixes a bug where the locale property of a Text widget was not being correctly passed to the accessibility layer, resulting in screen readers not knowing the language of the text.

### Impact Description:
What is the impact (ex. visual jank on Samsung phones, app crash, cannot ship an iOS app)? Does it impact development (ex. flutter doctor crashes when Android Studio is installed), or the shipping production app (the app crashes on launch)

This bug critically impacted accessibility, causing screen readers to mispronounce text in foreign languages and creating a confusing, inaccessible experience for users with visual impairments. The fix ensures the locale property on the Text widget is no longer ignored, correctly passing the language information to the underlying accessibility services so the text is read intelligibly.

Is there a workaround for this issue?

No.

Reids edit: 
[flutter/172789](#172789) When building for Android, Change warning for minimum gradle version from 8.7.2 to 8.7.0.

When on a lower version of Gradle, Flutter tooling would log a suggestion to bump to a minimum of `8.7.0` instead of `8.7.2`

### Workaround:
Is there a workaround for this issue?

Yes, the user would bump to a higher valid version of Gradle.

### Changelog Description:
Fix web engine unit tests to work on multiple versions of Firefox.

### Impact Description:
Without this fix, some unit tests fail fairly regularly on Firefox.

### Workaround:
This does not affect end-users, so no workaround necessary.

### Risk:

### Test Coverage:
Are you confident that your fix is well-tested by automated tests?

Yes

### Validation Steps:
Run CI.

The most recent change to fix CI on the beta branch actually touches engine unit tests, so we need to bump the engine.version again.

Suppress an iOS deprecation warning to unblock Xcode 26 testing in CI

Blocks Xcode 26 from being tested for the pacakges repo in CI #170437

### Workaround:
Is there a workaround for this issue?

No. Packages runs the Xcode analyzer against the Flutter master and stable branches, so this deprecation suppression must go to stable ASAP.

### Risk:

### Test Coverage:

Tested here:

### Validation Steps:
What are the steps to validate that this fix works?

Current CI analysis will pass with or without this suppression. However, we will no longer see failures like this in packages while upgrading to Xcode 26, or increasing the minimum target version.

Steps I took:

1. Updated hash to desired version.
2. Run `engine/src/tools/dart/create_updated_flutter_deps.py -f DEPS` to update any Dart dependencies if needed (none updated).
3. Updated `engine/src/flutter/ci/licenses_golden/licenses_dart` with diff produced in error from https://ci.chromium.org/ui/p/flutter/builders/try/Linux%20linux_license/36032/overview build failure.
