I just created a flutter project on Windows with
flutter create appname --platforms=windows,macos
Now I can start this Windows app with
flutter run -d windows
and everything works perfectly. But the problem is that I can not start the Windows app in release mode. I tried:
flutter run --release -d windows
but the app window is not showing up. I just see the process running in the task manager. There is no need to show you the code of the project as it is the template project you get with flutter create
. No single line was modified.
The release mode works on every other platforms including web and macos. I also tried to start the .exe
file manually but that doesn't work either. I also tried changing to the master version of flutter but it also does not work with the latest master version.
flutter doctor -v
does not show any errors:

It works if you edit the windows/runner/flutter_window.cpp
like mentioned in @Zensonaton's answer. But I fixed it by adding a restorationScopeId
in MaterialApp
like this:
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
const MyApp({super.key});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
restorationScopeId: "Test", // <-- Add this line
home: Scaffold(
body: Container()
)
);
}
}
