In flutter my build apk file is not working properly

Question

I have read all the available solutions on this topic none of them worked for me.I have deleted all build file using flutter clean and also uninstalled the app from the phone before every run The apk file built using flutter run --release works fine. The apk file built using flutter build apk doesn't working properly. I don't know why it is happening?

My problem is similar to Android Studio generating old version APK

Solution

Although this method is a bit vague and old fashioned, but it still works.

Step One: Run your android device as a virtual emulator.

Step Two: Run main.dart in your android device. This will install the app in your device.

Step Three: Go to Play Store and install this app called APK Extractor.

Step Four: Extract your APK from the app.

The APKs created through this are smaller and more efficient as compared to the ones created using Android Studio and work pretty well.

What's the error?

[Suraj Jha]

I have added onboarding screen for new user + after login it should check whether the data is available in firebase or not. But in case of flutter build apk it is directly navigating to login screen.It is building the apk for older version code.

@ClaudioRedi But It is working fine when I build my apk using flutter run --release. I like to know why it is happening

You need to provide us the error message if you run "flutter build apk" in the project directory. Does "flutter doctor -v" print errors?

[Suraj Jha]

@Lukas There is no error message.After I install that apk it works like previous version of that app

[Suraj Jha]

No @Lukas it is not showing any error

@SurajJha Please run the below commands in terminal, I think there might be issue of cache. > flutter clean > rm -rf pubspec.lock .packages .flutter-plugins > flutter pub pub cache repair > flutter packages get

Try running flutter doctor in the command line to see if there is any issues with the framework or if there are any android licenses that haven't been accepted.
