Flutter How to make release version in Android Studio?

To create a release version of your Flutter app in Android Studio, follow these steps:

1. Open the Run Configuration:

• Click on the "Run" menu and select "Edit Configurations."
• In the "Run/Debug Configurations" dialog box, select your Flutter app from the list on the left.

2. Add the --release Flag:

• In the "Arguments" field, add the --release flag.
• This flag tells Flutter to build the app in release mode.

Note: Using the --release flag is not supported when building with the Android Emulator. 3. Build the APK:

• Click the "Build" menu and select "Build APK."
• This will generate a signed APK file that you can distribute to users.

Alternative Method:

• Open the project directory in Android Studio.
• Click on the "Build" menu and select "Generate Signed APK."
• Follow the prompts to create a keystore and generate the APK.

Using Terminal:

• Open the terminal and navigate to your Flutter project directory.
• Run the following command:

flutter build appbundle --release --build-name=1.1.1 --build-number=3

• Change the build name and build number to corresponding values of your release app versioning.

Run in Release Mode Directly from Android Studio:

• Right-click on the green play button in the toolbar.
• Select "Customize Toolbar."
• Click on the "+" button and choose "Add Action."
• Select "Plugins/Flutter/Run in Flutter release mode."
• Delete the old Play button by selecting it and clicking on the "-" button.

Remember to set up code signing and versioning appropriately for your release build.
