Google Fonts package Not working in flutter

Question

The google_fonts package is not working in the final build apk in FLutter, it works fine in the debug mode, but as soon as I build it and install the final apk, It just shows regular font.

Solution 1

It could be because of internet permission issue, google fonts using internet acces and if don't apply the permission in your project it won't work when you install the app.

for this you need to add follow line to file AndroidManifest.xml which is there; yourappname/android/app/src/debug/AndroidManifest.xml

and the line you will add:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

Solution 2

I don't believe it is an internet problem. Most times fonts using Flutter packages contain an error in the Pubspec file.

Check your Pubspec.yaml file. Make sure your google fonts package is Formatted this way

version: 1.0.0+1
environment:
  sdk: ">=2.7.0 <3.0.0"

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter
  google_fonts: ^1.1.0

flutter:
  assets:
    - google_fonts/ # you only need this line and nothing in the fonts area per https://pub.dev/packages/google_fonts

google_fonts package already contains the fonts and its installed in the local machine there is no need to use the internet to retrieve the fonts again.

To download fonts over http, android.permission.INTERNET permission should be added to <app_dir>/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml as well.

I don't know why but this actually worked for me, on google_fonts: ^2.0.0 flutter: 2.2.0, in another project this permission isn't added, still working in that case. Anyway Thanks @Lunedor.
