Issue description:
Skinned meshes with blendshapes do not render on Android. Issue was the same using glTF files and FBX files. I currently only have access to one android device. It is a Galaxy S6 running android 7.0. Using GLES3.
Steps to reproduce:
Open the attached project and try to run it on an android device.
Minimal reproduction project:
glTF_skinned_blendshape_no_render.zip
It is a Galaxy S6 running android 7.0.
Unfortunately, that's quite old as far as mobile GPUs go. I doubt the OpenGL ES 3.0 support there is that good.
I know it's 5 years old at this point, but as far as I can find it's GPU launched with GLES 3.1 support. https://www.notebookcheck.net/ARM-Mali-T760-MP8.140006.0.html
But maybe someone with a newer device can do a test.
A Mali device? Those are infamous for claiming to support GLES 3.1, but then doing a ... poor job of it.
I fully confirm the presence of the bug (v3.2.4.rc1). I have attached a minimal production project that exports a character model from DAZ3D (also test with CC3 models, no diffs), try running the project on Android. When Force Software Skinning is enabled, the model is displayed and skeletal animations work, but the blendshapes do not work, when the parameter is disabled, nothing works at all, the console is also empty. I tested the project on Nox Player and Memu Play of the latest version, the problem is reproduced even there, i.e. it is clearly not in the Mali chips, it does not work even on the GPU of the PC! This problem has completely stalled the development process of my main project, because bland shapes not work anywhere on Android.
How it works on a PC and on an emulator running on the same PC:

A Mali device?
It's broken in the Adreno 630 device (POCO F1). 3.2.4 rc1.

BlendShapesGLES3Test
Slider cause black spots to move.
BlendShapesGLES3Test with Force Software Skinning
Slider has no effect.
If the same model is imported in glTF format, it will have a completely similar behavior, only errors already appear in the console:
E 0:00:26.901 _display_error_with_code: BlendShapeShaderGLES3: Vertex Program Compilation Failed:
ERROR: 0:115: 'out' : must use 'flat' interpolation here
<Исходный код C++>drivers/gles3/shader_gles3.cpp:164 @ _display_error_with_code()
Moreover, the same error occurs if I try to import any model with blendshapes from Blender in glTF format. Perhaps this is due to incorrect export in the blender itself, but the behavior is absolutely identical on all my devices and emulators based on Android.
This problem still exists in Godot 3.3.4 and can happen even on web builds using GLES3. The errors are exactly the same as reported by @EXOMODE. As shown in the screenshot below, the player model is exported from Blender as .glb and has a blend shape, but will fail to render (Brave Version 1.31.87; Chromium: 95.0.4638.54):
Once the blend shapes are removed, the model will render just fine.
