Solution

  • Chrome launches the application using the development compiler in a Chrome browser.

    A release (web server) build uses dart2js (instead of the development compiler) to produce a single JavaScript file main.dart.js. You can create a release build using release mode (flutter run --release) or by using flutter build web. This populates a build/web directory with built files, including an assets directory, which need to be served together.
