如果通过 VS Code 运行，Flutter 运行会卡在“正在安装 build\\...\\app.apk”

Question

I'm trying to run a Flutter app on a physical Android device using Visual Studio Code with the Dart Code/Flutter extension (which used to work).

But when I try to start the app, it is stuck at Installing build\\app\\outputs\\apk\\app.apk... and a white screen appears on my phone.

I know that there are already a number of threads on this topic ^{1 2 3} , but the suggested solutions did not work for me, including:

• Rebooting my phone and my computer
• Uninstalling the app
• flutter clean
• Building the app using flutter build , manually installing the app-debug.apk * and then starting the app from VS Code again
• Uninstalling the app using adb uninstall and installing app.apk using adb install
• Clearing cache and storing from the app settings before uninstalling
• Revoking USB debugging authorizations
• Disabling Play Protect on my phone
• Increasing the Logger Buffer Size in my phone's developer options

*after installing the APK file myself, the app worked, but of course I had no debugging capabilities

When I execute flutter run in the terminal, the app opens on my phone and works fine. However hot reload does not work and only the following is printed out:

$ flutter run -d FA685YJ01209
Launching lib/main.dart on HTC One M9 in debug mode...
Running Gradle task 'assembleDebug'...                                  
Running Gradle task 'assembleDebug'... Done                         4.0s
✓ Built build/app/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk.

It is not possible to attach to that process from Visual Studio Code either.

I also tried to start the app on an emulator using Visual Studio Code. In that case, it gets stuck at Syncing files to device Android SDK built for x86... .

Apparently there were changes on the stable branch that solved the problem. After a git pull everything works fine. Unfortunately I can't figure out where exactly the problem was.
