Steps to reproduce

1. Create a Flutter project targeting Flutter 3.29.1 (stable)
2. Add firebase_ui_firestore: ^2.0.1 to pubspec.yaml
3. Import package:firebase_ui_firestore/firebase_ui_firestore.dart anywhere in the project
4. Run flutter build apk or flutter run

Expected Behavior

The package compiles successfully with Flutter 3.29.1

Actual Behavior

Compilation fails immediately

Additional Information

firebase_ui_firestore 2.0.1 fails to compile when using Flutter 3.29.1. Flutter 3.29.1 introduced a breaking change where the initialValue named parameter was removed from DropdownButtonFormField. The file table_builder.dart inside firebase_ui_firestore still references this parameter, causing a compilation error.

The error occurs even when FirestoreDataTable (the widget using table_builder.dart) is not used anywhere in the application, because the file is exported as part of the package's public API and therefore compiled unconditionally.
