Why do I get white screen when building flutter web

I want to build a flutter web app, so I enter 'webdev build' command and after the operation finishes, I open the 'index.html' file located in build directory and it's just a white screen. I tried it on a fresh project and the problem persists. There's no problem during developing.

Here's my flutter doctor output:

Solution

  • You need to run webdev serve command, it'll provide an address like localhost:8080 or 127.0.0.1:8080. I've attached a screenshot after running webdev serve for one of my Flutter Web Project. It says Serving web on http://127.0.0.1:8080 So you need to open that URL in Browser.

    This answer was written when flutter-web was a separate project and webdev was the way to go for running your app.

    Now you can use flutter run -d chrome to run it for Web.
