Flutter build apk on release mode cannot generate updated version

by

If your problem is that the flutter build (APK, bundle) isn’t making API calls in a real device, this is because you need to add the Internet permission to Android Manifest before creating the release/build.

By default, “internet use” will work fine on the emulator but not on a real device.

To fix this, simply:

Open the file “android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml” and add the proper user-permission:

<manifest> 
...
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
...
</manifest>

And then create your build again.
