release android issue

[3bdelmonem]

A clear title: "Shorebird release android fails even though flutter build appbundle succeeds"
The command you ran: shorebird release android --flutter-version=3.35.4

The output of flutter --version: Flutter 3.35.4 • channel stable...
Crucially, mention that flutter build appbundle --release --target-platform=android-arm,android-arm64,android-x64 runs without errors.

Attach the latest log file. The command output indicates a new log file was created. You'll need to find the latest one in /Users/abdelmonem/Library/Application Support/shorebird/logs/.

Can you share the following:

• output of flutter doctor -v
• output of shorebird doctor -v
• the full logs from the shorebird release command

BUILD FAILED in 1m 17s
Running Gradle task 'bundleRelease'... 78.6s
Gradle task bundleRelease failed with exit code 1
Failed to build AAB.
Command: flutter build appbundle --release --target-platform=android-arm,android-arm64,android-x64
Reason: Exited with code 1.

💡 Fix Recommendations

• Check that running flutter build with the same command-line arguments
completes successfully by running the following command:

flutter build appbundle --release --target-platform=android-arm,android-arm64,android-x64

If the above command fails, then this is likely not a Shorebird issue and
the underlying flutter build failure must be resolved for Shorebird to
build a release.

• If flutter build completes successfully, please ensure that you are
providing the desired flutter version to the release command via
the --flutter-version option. If you do not specify a --flutter-version
Shorebird will default to the latest stable version of Flutter.
We strongly encourage always specifying an explicit Flutter version:

shorebird release --flutter-version=3.29.0

• If flutter build completes successfully and shorebird release
fails when using the same flutter version, please file an issue:
https://github.com/shorebirdtech/shorebird/issues/new

If you aren't sure why this command failed, re-run with the --verbose flag to see more information.

You can also file an issue if you think this is a bug. Please include the following log file in your report:
/Users/abdelmonem/Library/Application Support/shorebird/logs/1758721695077_shorebird.log

Facing same issue, I think this one is the same.

What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':tiktok_business_sdk:compileReleaseKotlin'.

This suggests that there's an issue with Kotlin code somewhere in your project. I'm surprised that flutter build appbundle --release works with Flutter 3.35.4.

Could you tell us more about how your app is configured (is it a full flutter app, a flutter-native hybrid app, etc.)?
