This Error Happened when I try to build the project by this command flutter build apk --split-per-abi I don't know what is that about? please Help.

Solution

  • The builder optimizes the images in your app, in this case the png images. This is to reduce the size of the apk. It is unable to do so in your case. To run without optimization you can put the following in your build.gradle

    android {
buildTypes {
    release {
        crunchPngs false // or true
    }
  }
}
