flutterLocalNotificationsPlugin.initialize block app open in release mode

[cruvie]

Describe the bug
flutterLocalNotificationsPlugin.initialize block app open in release mode, but works fine in debug

To Reproduce
git clone https://github.com/cruvie/demo
flutter build apk
install build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app-release.apk on any android platform
the app is blocked and cannot enter home page

Expected behavior
after installing can open the app with no blocking

Sample code to reproduce the problem
main.dart

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

import 'local_notification.dart';

Future<void> main() async {

  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();

  await MgrLocalNotification.init();

  runApp(const MyApp());
}

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

  @override

      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.

  // 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

    // by the _incrementCounter method above.

    // fast, so that you can just rebuild anything that needs updating rather
    // than having to individually change instances of widgets.

@Lonyless hi, did you solve the problem?

@Lonyless hi, did you solve the problem?

Turns out the problem wasn’t caused by this package, but a bug in the emulator itself. Try running Android 11 to make sure

I came across the same problem. It happens when trying to build the APK in release mode. Debug mode seems fine.

In my case, however, it happend after upgrading Android Studio from Koala to Ladybug. It seems that Koala is bundled with JDK17 and Ladybug JDK21. Making Flutter use JDK17 lets me build the APK the usual way (no blocking when starting the application).

Show Flutter Java version for building

flutter doctor -v

Change Flutter Java version for building

flutter config --jdk-dir "/Applications/Android Studio Koala.app/Contents/jbr/Contents/Home/"

By the way, I am initializing the FlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin in the main method.

EDIT: Building using JDK21 with coreLibraryDesugaringEnabled, and JDK17 without coreLibraryDesugaringEnabled.
