[FIXED] How to build signed apk from Android Studio for Flutter

Issue

Is there a way to build an apk for flutter in Android Studio?

I have seen this guideline: https://flutter.dev/docs/deployment/android
But here flutter console is used to build apk.

Solution

You can build the Apk/AppBundle using IDE and command line.

• Building APK/AppBundle through IDE:

  Step-1

  In Android Studio's tab bar, click on Tools and then Flutter and then Open Android module in Android Studio:

  

  Step-2

  Open Project it in New Window:

  

  Step-3

  Having opened the project, click on Build and then Generate Signed Bundle / APK ...

• Building APK/AppBundle through command:

  Step-1:

  Modify your build.gradle(app) file and include your key information there:

  android {
      compileSdkVersion 31
      signingConfigs {
          release {
              storeFile file("<path-to-keys.jks>")
              storePassword "********"
              keyAlias "<key-alias>"
              keyPassword "********"
          }
      }
      buildTypes {
          release {
              signingConfig signingConfigs.release
              proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
          }
      }
  }
  

  Step-2:

  Build AppBundle:

  flutter build appbundle --target-platform android-arm,android-arm64,android-x64 --obfuscate --split-debug-info=/<directory>
  

  Build APK:

  flutter build apk --target-platform android-arm,android-arm64,android-x64 --split-per-abi --obfuscate --split-debug-info=/<directory>
