flutter release apk error :Execution failed for task ':app:lintVitalRelease'

flutter build apk --profile

then flutter build apk --release solves the issue.

For me worked this way only:

First: flutter build apk --debug

Then: flutter build apk --profile

In the end: flutter build apk --release

I have upgraded my gradle build tools 3.5.0 -> 4.0.1. After that I am not was not able to make release apk. Looks like upgrading gradle build tools broke some lints.

Below solution worked for me

Go in android folder->app->open build.gradle fine Search for lintOptions and add checkReleaseBuilds false example:

lintOptions {
        disable 'InvalidPackage'
        checkReleaseBuilds false //Insert this line
    }
}
