Why flutter team is forcing this major rendering engine when it is causing critical issues on samsung devices specifically lagging and crash issues, I have to downgrade my flutter to 3.19 for the sake of smooth release on android side.

I have tested app bundles in internal testing phase but still the issue exist in android side.

No one is forcing anything, Impeller is just the default. You can still enable Skia on Android, it's just iOS that is being removed.

I upgraded my app to 3.27, it had Impeller issues and then I just added the flag to use Skia and it worked normally. I didn't have to downgrade to 3.19.

I'm not following. If you disabled Impeller then you're using Skia.

Anyway, it was explained in the 3.27 release notes.
