HomeWidget.updateWidget not working on Android Release Mode

[th8m0z]

The widget is not being updated on release mode on Android, debug mode works perfectly.

Logs from Crashlytics show this error:

PlatformException(-3, No Widget found with Name null.

Can you try:

• Use the fully qualified Android Name (using the package import)
• Add your widget receiver class app.routineflow.routineflow.glance.HomeWidgetReceiver to the pro guard file so it can find the class even in a shrunk release build

The same issue, please help asap, it is very urgent now

• Can you additionally provide the way you are calling HomeWidget.updateWidget
• Have you tried the steps I mentioned above?

[MakhmudovBekhruz]

@ABausG yes I tried those steps but it did not help. Profile and Debug mode are working fine. Problem only in release mode

Flutter version: 3.22.1

Can you paste in your proguard.rules file?

You will then need to whitelist your AppReceiver in order for it to be found when the platform files get obfuscated

(Plus please your call to HomeWidget.updateWidget)
