How to fix "The following packages contain executables" for flutter_native_splash about dependency_validator

[evanweible-wf]

Hi @tim-teacher, sorry for the delay in responding. Normally, dependency_validator will fail if any of the following are found:

• Missing: When a dependency is used in the package but not declared in the pubspec.yaml
• Under-promoted: When a dependency is used within lib/ but only declared as a dev_dependency.
• Over-promoted: When a dependency is only used outside lib/ but declared as a dependency.
• Unused: When a dependency is not used in the package but declared in the pubspec.yaml.

However, package executables make this tricky, because we don't have a good way to know if a project is using the executable provided by one of their dependencies. It might be used during CI or it might just be used during local dev. For that reason, we take the conservative approach and assume that the dependency providing the executable is used so that you don't have to configure dependency_validator to ignore it. When we do that, we print this note so that you can be aware. If you happen to know that you aren't using flutter_native_splash's executable, then you might be able to remove that dependency.
