It looks like the error is:

[        ] FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
[        ] * What went wrong:
[        ] Execution failed for task ':charset_converter:verifyReleaseResources'.

Can you verify that:

1. Your app builds without Shorebird (flutter build appbundle)
2. You are using the same version of Flutter as Shorebird (3.24.1`

1. yes definitely its building appbundle and apk by using. flutter build apk and flutter build appbundle but its not building by using shorebird

2. project : environment: sdk: ">=3.1.0 <4.0.0"

flutter --version

Flutter 3.24.0 • channel stable • https://github.com/flutter/flutter.git Framework • revision 80c2e84975 (4 weeks ago) • 2024-07-30 23:06:49 +0700 Engine • revision b8800d88be Tools • Dart 3.5.0 • DevTools 2.37.2

shorebird --version

Very weird that it would work with Flutter 3.24.0 and not 3.24.1. Out of curiosity, does flutter build appbundle --release work?

[thewama33]

iv'e tried to downgrade flutter version into 3.16.0 but still the same issue

[bryanoltman]

I don't imagine downgrading would help

[thewama33]

iam still facing the same issue no updates

Sorry, I was waiting for an answer to the question of whether flutter build appbundle --release (specifically with the release flag) also worked
