/// and allows overriding the platform for debugging or testing purposes. | |
/// | |
/// To override the global platform used by the Flutter framework, | |
/// use [setDebugDefaultTargetPlatformOverride]. | |
/// | |
/// To override the platform only within this utility (without affecting the | |
/// Flutter framework), use [setCurrentTargetPlatform]. | |
/// | |
/// The [dart:io.Platform] object should only be used directly when it's critical to | |
/// actually know the current platform, without any overrides possible (for | |
/// example, when a system API is about to be called | |
