MissingPluginException（在通道 plugins.flutter.io/path_provider 上找不到方法 getApplicationDocumentsDirectory 的实现）

Question

Flutter application is stuck on splash page on release mode(only) Sharing the error stack trace

E/flutter (24026): [ERROR:flutter/lib/ui/ui_dart_state.cc(199)] Unhandled Exception: MissingPluginException(No implementation found for method getApplicationDocumentsDirectory on channel plugins.flutter.io/path_provider)

E/flutter (24026): #5      main (package:application/main.dart:116)

I am able to resolve the issue by disabling minify in android build gradle

Thanks for sharing the answer

android {
    ...

    buildTypes {
        release {
            ...

            shrinkResources false
            minifyEnabled false
        }
    }
}

Is there a way to solve this issue without disabling minifyEnabled ?

Ok this is a little bug. If you add new library or plugin and run hot restart this will occur. Try to clean the project using flutter clean command then kill the running application from our device then run it again. Hope this will solved.
