Because Shorebird by default uses the latest flutter stable (in this case 3.24.0) and it looks like your project isn't expecting that (and is hitting an upgrade error with Dart 3.5.0).

If you'd like to update to Flutter 3.24.0 that will solve the bug. Otherwise you can also build with shorebird release --fluter-version=3.22.3 which will build you with an older flutter.

See also https://shorebird.dev/blog/dart-3.5.0/ for when you hit this during upgrade. You'll need to dart pub upgrade after running flutter upgrade to work around this upgrade error in 3.5.0

shorebird release --fluter-version=3.22.3

shorebird release --fluter-version=3.22.3shorebird release --fluter-version=3.22.3

The solution worked but there is a spelling error, it should be "shorebird release --flutter-version=3.22.3" in case you have the same issue and find yourself here.

this command save my life, but need a correction:
shorebird release android --flutter-version=3.22.3

change 3.22.3 for your local flutter version
