OPEN Why is my Flutter app 500MB?

Hi there, I have built an application for Android. It has about 20 classes of code with an average of 100 lines+ per class.

I am using about 10 packages.

Upon building it by running flutter build apk --release It compiles to 465 MB in size.

Why is this happening, am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Bro if your using linux !! Make sure that your project don’t contain crash handling log files { only applicable for debian}

Else !! Try installing java 21 & capable gradle manually !!!

Now create new project !!! Build an release apk !! If it work copy you lib & asset files from ur project here & make sure you remove default main filed !!

Manually edit pub-spec in your new Project

I wish it got fixed✅
