Code sample

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  // This widget is the root of your application.
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: ThemeData(
        // This is the theme of your application.
        //
        // TRY THIS: Try running your application with "flutter run". You'll see
        // the application has a purple toolbar. Then, without quitting the app,
        // try changing the seedColor in the colorScheme below to Colors.green
        // and then invoke "hot reload" (save your changes or press the "hot
        // reload" button in a Flutter-supported IDE, or press "r" if you used
        // the command line to start the app).
        //
        // Notice that the counter didn't reset back to zero; the application
        // state is not lost during the reload. To reset the state, use hot
        // restart instead.
        //
        // This works for code too, not just values: Most code changes can be
        // tested with just a hot reload.
        colorScheme: ColorScheme.fromSeed(seedColor: Colors.deepPurple),
        useMaterial3: true,
      ),

  }
}

  const MyHomePage({super.key, required this.title});

  // This widget is the home page of your application. It is stateful, meaning
  // that it has a State object (defined below) that contains fields that affect
  // how it looks.

  // This class is the configuration for the state. It holds the values (in this
  // case the title) provided by the parent (in this case the App widget) and
  // used by the build method of the State. Fields in a Widget subclass are
  // always marked "final".

  final String title;

  @override

  int _counter = 0;

      // This call to setState tells the Flutter framework that something has
      // changed in this State, which causes it to rerun the build method below
      // so that the display can reflect the updated values. If we changed
      // _counter without calling setState(), then the build method would not be
      // called again, and so nothing would appear to happen.
      _counter++;
    });
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    // This method is rerun every time setState is called, for instance as done
    // by the _incrementCounter method above.
    //
    // The Flutter framework has been optimized to make rerunning build methods
    // fast, so that you can just rebuild anything that needs updating rather
    // than having to individually change instances of widgets.
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        // TRY THIS: Try changing the color here to a specific color (to
        // Colors.amber, perhaps?) and trigger a hot reload to see the AppBar

          //
          // Column has various properties to control how it sizes itself and
          // how it positions its children. Here we use mainAxisAlignment to
          // center the children vertically; the main axis here is the vertical
          // axis because Columns are vertical (the cross axis would be
          // horizontal).

          // action in the IDE, or press "p" in the console), to see the
          // wireframe for each widget.

Same issue here.
For Android:
Some devices get black splash screen and delay ~10s to continue. Some devices show normal splash screen but stuck there. And other devices get whole black screen.
Tested on 2 apps. Everythings are ok on Flutter 3.24.5.

I'm not experiencing problems myself (Pixel 8), but am getting reports from users that mirror what is described in this ticket - not yet sure what devices those users are on.

This happened after updating my app with Flutter 3.27.0 last night.

same issue after updated from 3.24

after upgrade to 3.27

when i create a new project and run, its show a black screen
and sometime its quit the emulator(android studio lady bug)

I tried on S10+ device (Android 12) with latest stable and also on Pixel XL api 35 emulator on which I didn't get the reported behavior.

Could be similar to #160201. @kwsoftnet7 and everyone in this thread seeing the black screen, can you try as mentioned in this comment to see if it helps in your case or not ?

For emulator specific issue showing black screen, maybe it could be similar / related to #160168

@jonahwilliams

/cc @jonahwilliams

I am getting the same issue after upgrading to 3.27. Getting black screen on android Samsung Galaxy note 10 lite.
Had to install app using flutter run --no-enable-impellerthen it worked. But when restarting the app after killing it then again same issue, everytime need to install like this on my device.

I do not get a blank screen but my app is stuck in the splash screen. Only in the emulator.

I have tried with 3.27.1, but my app still stuck on launch screen and getting below logs.

@darshankawar

thanks @darshankawar now after install hotfix version (3.27.1) the issue is solved and now the app working on vm and real devices very good without problems.

Based on this, I will close this as fixed. If anyone still facing same issues, please file new issue and we would need device details and binary version so that we can properly address it.

I am facing issues with Android Studio. Before the update, it was working fine, but after updating to the latest version, I can no longer run my application. The app installs successfully, but it gets stuck on the default splash screen and doesn't proceed further. I have tried troubleshooting the issue, but nothing seems to work.

@amon

@amon Checkout this issue #160439. I had the same problem after I upgraded to 3.27. I created another emulator with the API 35 image instead of the VanillaIceCream one and I was able to run my app again. Hope this helps.

I continue with the error in physical devices with this message

Please try with latest hotfix version (3.27.1) and confirm the behavior

I am using flutter 3.27.1 and i got same issue

Device Name : OPPO F19 Pro
Android version : 13

@neel-vaghani

@neel-vaghani you should verify if you have some dependencie outdated that it’ll can generating conflicts with the last version of flutter.

In my case I had sentry_flutter dependencie outdated and it was my problem.

I also have the same issue on my phone but the app works fine on the emulator.. strange

Device Name : OPPO A94
Android version : 13

When I add <meta-data android:name="io.flutter.embedding.android.EnableImpeller" android:value="false" /> to the AndroidManifest file, the app still gets stuck on the splash screen. However, if I bring the app to the foreground, it resumes working. Interestingly, running the app with the --no-enable-impeller flag (e.g., flutter run --release --no-enable-impeller) resolves the issue.

I've confirmed that the tag is placed correctly under the tag in the AndroidManifest, but it seems like Impeller isn't being disabled as expected. What could be causing this, and how can I fix it?
