/**
 * Basic interface that handles downloading and loading of deferred components.
 *
 * <p>Flutter deferred component support is still in early developer preview and should not be used
 * in production apps yet.
 *
 * <p>The Flutter default implementation is PlayStoreDeferredComponentManager.
 *
 * <p>DeferredComponentManager handles the embedder/Android level tasks of downloading, installing,
 * and loading Dart deferred libraries. A typical code-flow begins with a Dart call to loadLibrary()
 * on deferred imported library. See https://dart.dev/guides/language/language-tour#deferred-loading
 * This call retrieves a unique identifier called the loading unit id, which is assigned by
 * gen_snapshot during compilation. The loading unit id is passed down through the engine and
 * invokes installDeferredComponent. Once the component is downloaded, loadAssets and
 * loadDartLibrary should be invoked. loadDartLibrary should find shared library .so files for the
 * engine to open and pass the .so path to FlutterJNI.loadDartDeferredLibrary. loadAssets should
 * typically ensure the new assets are available to the engine's asset manager by passing an updated
 * Android AssetManager to the engine via FlutterJNI.updateAssetManager.
 *
 * <p>The loadAssets and loadDartLibrary methods are separated out because they may also be called
 * manually via platform channel messages. A full installDeferredComponent implementation should
 * call these two methods as needed.
 *
 * <p>A deferred component is uniquely identified by a component name as defined in
 * bundle_config.yaml. Each component may contain one or more loading units, uniquely identified by
 * the loading unit ID and assets.

  /**
   * Request that the deferred component be downloaded and installed.
   *
   * <p>This method begins the download and installation of the specified deferred component. For
   * example, the Play Store dynamic delivery implementation uses SplitInstallManager to request the
   * download of the component. Download is not complete when this method returns. The download
   * process should be listened for and upon completion of download, listeners should invoke
   * loadAssets first and then loadDartLibrary to complete the deferred component load process.
   * Assets-only deferred components should also call {@link
   * DeferredComponentChannel.completeInstallSuccess} or {@link
   * DeferredComponentChannel.completeInstallError} to complete the method channel invocation's dart
   * Future.
   *
   * <p>Both parameters are not always necessary to identify which component to install. Asset-only
   * components do not have an associated loadingUnitId. Instead, an invalid ID like -1 may be
   * passed to download only with componentName. On the other hand, it can be possible to resolve
   * the componentName based on the loadingUnitId. This resolution is done if componentName is null.
   * At least one of loadingUnitId or componentName must be valid or non-null.
   *
   * <p>Flutter will typically call this method in two ways. When invoked as part of a dart
   * `loadLibrary()` call, a valid loadingUnitId is passed in while the componentName is null. In
   * this case, this method is responsible for figuring out what component the loadingUnitId
   * corresponds to.
   *
   * <p>When invoked manually as part of loading an assets-only component, loadingUnitId is -1
   * (invalid) and componentName is supplied. Without a loadingUnitId, this method just downloads
   * the component by name and attempts to load assets via loadAssets while loadDartLibrary is
   * skipped, even if the deferred component includes valid dart libs. To load dart libs, call
   * `loadLibrary()` using the first way described in the previous paragraph as the method channel
   * invocation will not load dart shared libraries.
   *
   * <p>While the Future retuned by either `loadLibary` or the method channel invocation will
   * indicate when the code and assets are ready to be used, informational querying of the install
   * process' state can be done with {@link getDeferredComponentInstallState}, though the results of
   * this query should not be used to decide if the deferred component is ready to use. Only the
   * Future completion should be used to do this.
   *
   * @param loadingUnitId The unique identifier associated with a Dart deferred library. This id is
   *     assigned by the compiler and can be seen for reference in bundle_config.yaml. This ID is
   *     primarily used in loadDartLibrary to indicate to Dart which Dart library is being loaded.
   *     Loading unit ids range from 0 to the number existing loading units. Passing a negative
   *     loading unit id indicates that no Dart deferred library should be loaded after download
   *     completes. This is the case when the deferred component is an assets-only component. If a
   *     negative loadingUnitId is passed, then componentName must not be null. Passing a
   *     loadingUnitId larger than the highest valid loading unit's id will cause the Dart
   *     loadLibrary() to complete with a failure.
   * @param componentName The deferred component name as defined in bundle_config.yaml. This may be
   *     null if the deferred component to be loaded is associated with a loading unit/deferred dart
   *     library. In this case, it is this method's responsibility to map the loadingUnitId to its
   *     corresponding componentName. When loading asset-only or other deferred components without
   *     an associated Dart deferred library, loading unit id should a negative value and
   *     componentName must be non-null.

   * and/or componentName.
   *
   * <p>Invocations of {@link installDeferredComponent} typically result in asynchronous downloading
   * and other tasks. This method enables querying of the state of the installation. Querying the
   * installation state is purely informational and does not impact the installation process. The
   * results of this query should not be used to decide if the deferred component is ready to use.
   * Upon completion of installation, the Future returned by the installation request will complete.
   * Only after dart Future completion is it safe to use code and assets from the deferred
   * component.

   * <p>If no deferred component has been installed or requested to be installed by the provided
   * loadingUnitId or componentName, then this method will return null.
   *
   * <p>Depending on the implementation, the returned String may vary. The Play store default
   * implementation begins in the "requested" state before transitioning to the "downloading" and
   * "installed" states.
   *
   * <p>Only successfully requested components have state. Modules that are invalid or have not been
