Flutter App Fails to Build/Run for Android and Windows, Works Fine on Web

[Sanavenkatesh]

Description

I’m unable to run or build my Flutter app for Android or Windows, but it works fine on the web. I’m getting the following error:

D:\flutter\sana_rive>flutter build apk
Font asset "MaterialIcons-Regular.otf" was tree-shaken, reducing it from 1645184 to 1312 bytes (99.9% reduction). Tree-shaking can be disabled by providing the --no-tree-shake-icons flag when building your app.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':rive_native:configureCMakeRelWithDebInfo[arm64-v8a]'.

@Sanavenkatesh are you still running into this issue on the latest versions?

[hebaothman]

@HayesGordon I have a similar issue on my windows and android device

[Sanavenkatesh]

@Sanavenkatesh are you still running into this issue on the latest versions?

Hi @HayesGordon
I am still running into this issue on the latest version
rive: ^0.14.0-dev.8

[hebaothman]

+1 here

I was also experiencing this on Android. I usually build with vscode, but after running a flutter clean / pub get, I tried running "flutter run" in the terminal. This failed and gave me this error "Error: Gradle build failed to produce an .apk file.".

But after this I was able to successfully build in vscode on Android.

Getting the same issue

[HayesGordon]

Is the error that everyone is seeing this: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED: unable to get local issuer certificate?

Could you all please try running:

dart run rive_native:setup --verbose --clean --platform windows

And report the output/result. If the above command works for you, try doing flutter run again after doing a flutter clean.

Hi @HayesGordon
The error still persists. Are there any other solutions we could try?

$ dart run rive_native:setup --verbose --clean --platform windows
