flutter build apk --split-per-abi doesnt create three APK files

Question

after running command in terminal, Gradle is completed unreasonably quick with a successful build result only for app-armeabi-v7a-release.apk, however, when checking the flutter-apk folder I see that only the files bellow were built and had their time stamp updated

app-debug.apk,

app.apk,

app.apk.sha1

but other files were not changed and still had an old time stamp (two weeks ago)

app-arm64-v8a-release.apk,

app-armeabi-v7a-release.apk,

app-x86_64-release.apk

OUTPUT APK FILES

Answer 1

Try removing the contents of build/app/outputs/apk then retry the commands.
