Flutter, fetching google_fonts at runtime via HTTP even in release mode

Question

If i'm right, google_fonts plugin loads font through http during debug. Later when our app is ready we have to download the font from the fonts.google.com . and store it in pubsec.yaml.

I am developing a flutter application where all the available fonts should be shown to the users. But if i can't fetch it in the runtime, i will have to download every file, which counts over a thousand. It might become difficult as my app size increases and i will have to manually download them all.

So my question is, can i fetch it in the runtime , or is there some other way to achieve it? Hope someone can answer me. Thank You

edit: It ran without problems. The problem was not with google_fonts, my code was not reflecting changes, so i got wrong release apk

Solution

When you just get that once. this should be work.means your project must not running .you must stop running then pub get.

i added it, but did not work without downloading it and adding it to asset in pubsec.yaml

It was another error which was not related to google_fonts. The code was not updated so i got wrong release apk
