I am not sure what is wrong with my Android Studio IDE, but whenever I run the app inside flutter it always runs on debug mode. Please see the label on the right side of the corner.
Logs:
Launching lib\main.dart on POCO F1 in debug mode...

Have you tried running your code in "release" mode?
Within a terminal you can do that via flutter run --release.
In Android Studio you could double tap shift to bring up the search everywhere command window. If you simply type release you should be able to find the Flutter Run main.dart in Release Mode command.
Also you can find this in the menu under "Run" just like so:
App by default runs on debug mode, it is bit janky but needed to provide features like hot reload and hot restart. However, if you want to run the app in other modes, try these commands:
Release mode:
flutter run --release
Profile mode:
flutter run --profile
You can also add these flags in IDE, click on main.dart in the toolbar:
Add --release flag in the Additional run flags option
From Run→Edit Configurations, you can create two configurations (copy and paste the first, then rename) add additional’s arguments as --debug for debug an --release for release and chose one of those to start your app in Debug mode or Release mode (Let gradle to build for you :) ).
If you build your apps in vsCode.
Then, open your terminal(CTRL + `) and type a command.
flutter run --release
1- The first one is to use the debugShowCheckModeBanner property in your MaterialApp widget .
Code :
MaterialApp(
debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
)
And then do a hot reload.
2-The second possibility is to hide debug mode banner in Flutter Inspector if you use Android Studio or IntelliJ IDEA .
3- The third possibility is to use Dart DevTools .
Use this command for running your app flutter run --release
or In Android Studio , click on :
> Run
> Flutter Run 'main.dart' in Release Mode
I always prefer to learn shortcuts
You can use the following Shortcuts to open the configuration of the run and write --release
ALTSHIFTF10 then Press 0 and Press ALTa
Finally, you are there where you just have to write --release and Press ENTER
Thats it!
I only change package name at /android/app/src/main/kotlin/MainActivity.kt as the same with applicationID at /android/app/build.gradle, and now it's running...
Open the launch.json file in VS Code.
If you do not have a launch.json file, go to the Run view in VS Code and click create a launch.json file.
In the configurations section, change the flutter Mode property to the build mode you want to target. For example, if you want to run in debug mode, your launch.json might look like this:
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Flutter",
"request": "launch",
"type": "dart",
"flutterMode": "debug"
}
]
Run the app through the Run view.
if you have a different environment to run you can use command like
flutter run --release -t \lib\main.dart
flutter run --release -t \lib\main_staging.dart
"-t" is the target file to run the app
If you want to just get rid of the debug tag from the rightmost corner of the app, u can use the
this => debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false
into your main.dart file in the material app widget.
flutter run --release
