Unable to build app in release mode while debug mode is working fine

[Tom3652]

Hello !

I am trying to build my linux app with the following command for release : flutter-elinux build elinux --target-backend-type=x11 -v but it's not working and it's failing without telling what is the error.

If i run the command flutter-elinux build elinux --debug --target-backend-type=x11 -v it's working fine i have my bundle directory created etc...

I have no clue how to fix it since the error doesn't tell anything.

I can't copy paste everything as my terminal is too small, but i show you the end :

Along with this error but i think it's simply the command error :

DEBUG :

[        ] "flutter elinux" took 6 690ms.

If you need the whole trace i can provide it but since it's working in debug mode, i don't think it's "package-related". I have already tried by removing all my non-linux packages but the release build still fails.

I must specify things a bit for you to find faster where the error may come from.

If i create an empty project using flutter-elinux create . and build it in release mode, it's working fine. Now in my existing project, when i ran the flutter-elinux create . command to add the support as mentioned here , it asks me what is my organization name because it's ambiguous (it found 2 names).

So i did : flutter-elinux create --org=com.myappname . and it worked but i don't know the impact on my app.

Then i run the command mentioned in the above comment and it's failing.

Are you using the latest version of flutter-elinux? If no, please update it.

The issue is also reproductible with the flutter engine. It comes from one of my dependency that can't be built under arm64.
