License key registration in samples

After installation, the license key is required to register the demo source that is included in the Mac installer. To learn about the steps for license registration for the Flutter Mac installer, refer to the licensing overview.

Register the license key in the main method of your application by importing the license package and calling SyncfusionLicenseProvider.registerLicense:

import 'package:syncfusion_flutter_core/core.dart';

void main() {
  SyncfusionLicenseProvider.registerLicense('YOUR_LICENSE_KEY');
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

If you are using Syncfusion® controls prior to version 18.3.0.x, refer to the legacy licensing guide for older registration steps.
