Reproduce

Add abiFilters to android/app/build.gradle :

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
android {
  defaultConfig {
    ndk {
      abiFilters 'armeabi-v7a'
    }
  }
}

Run command:

1
$ flutter run

Flutter app crashed by java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: dalvik.system.PathClassLoader[DexPathList[[zip file “/data/app/xxxx/base.apk”],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/data/app/xxxx/lib/arm, /data/app/xxxx/base.apk!/lib/armeabi-v7a, /system/lib, /vendor/lib, /product/lib]]] couldn’t find “libflutter.so”

at io.flutter.view.FlutterMain.startInitialization(FlutterMain.java:133)

…

As you can see, flutter run seems like forgot to put “libflutter.so” into apk.

Why?

Run command for log details flutter run —verbose, and then following logs show me the reason:

…
[ +7 ms] Building APK
[ +17 ms] Running Gradle task ‘assembleDebug’…
[ +1 ms] executing: [/flutter/] /flutter/android/gradlew -Pverbose=true -Ptarget=/flutter/lib/main.dart

-Ptrack-widget-creation=false -Pcompilation-trace-file=compilation.txt -Ptarget-platform=android-arm64 assembleDebug
…

Flutter detected my Android phone is arm64 device, so it executes gradle task assembleDebug with -Ptarget-platform=android-arm64.

And flutter.gradle ($flutterRoot/packages/flutter_tools/gradle/flutter.gradle) will take this property to find flutter engine prebuilt binary output which named flutter.jar :

    into "lib/x86_64"
  }
}
// Add flutter.jar dependencies to all <buildType>Api configurations, including custom ones
// added after applying the Flutter plugin.
project.android.buildTypes.each { addFlutterJarApiDependency(project, it, flutterX86JarTask) }
project.android.buildTypes.whenObjectAdded { addFlutterJarApiDependency(project, it, flutterX86JarTask) }
...

Solution

Run with specified target-platform to workaround (flutter version < v1.5.x):

1
$ flutter run --target-platform=android-arm

And, furthermore, the option target-platform has been removed when updated to v1.7.x. (see #34369 )

In this case, You can run build apk before run :

1
2
$ flutter build apk --debug --target-platform=android-arm
$ flutter run --use-application-binary=build/app/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk
