After upgrading to Flutter 3.32.0, Dart 3.8.0, and DevTools 2.45.1, I'm encountering an issue when building a release app bundle (AAB).
The build fails with this error:
Release app bundle failed to strip debug symbols from native libraries. Please run flutter doctor and ensure that the Android toolchain does not report any
issues.
I ran flutter clean and flutter pub get . In my build.gradle file, I tried building both with and without the following NDK configuration:
ndk { debugSymbolLevel = "full" }
But the issue still persists. Has anyone else faced this or knows how to fix it?
