You know how when we run the flutter app (using flutter run), after running, the app will stay on our device right? i think that’s because of the release-apk being installed. But in my case, when i stop running, and close the app, it’s not present in my phone at all.
When i go to app/outputs/flutterapks/ There’s only:

  1. app-debug.apk
  2. app-debug.apk.sha1

There should be app-release.apk too right? Its not present. What do i do?

This is what i get for running flutter build apk :

Running Gradle task 'assembleRelease'...                           88.0s

I want the release apk, How do i solve this?
Or is there something like, the release-apk will only be generated after running flutter build apk ??

  1. If you want to run the app in release mode, you should use flutter run --release command.

  2. As @imGok mentioned, the output you’ve shared is still a running command (flutter build apk). Please wait for it to finish and you will see the whole path of the release apk once it is generated.

    Example output

    Running Gradle task 'assembleRelease'...                           27.4s
    ✓  Built build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app-release.apk (19.0MB).
