Signed in Debug Mode Error

Prerequisites

• Generated an APK or Android App Bundle via FlutterFlow → Build → Android.
• Access to the exported project folder.
• Ability to edit the android/app/build.gradle file.

When uploading an Android APK or App Bundle to the Play Store or a production environment, the following error may occur:

You uploaded an APK or Android App Bundle that was signed in debug mode. You need to sign your APK or Android App Bundle in release mode

This error indicates that the build was signed with a debug configuration, which is only for internal testing and not valid for production release.

To fix this, update the build.gradle file to use the release signing configuration.

Steps to Update Build Configuration:

1. Open the android/app/build.gradle file in your project folder.
2. Locate the debug keyword under buildTypes.
3. Replace the debug keyword with release and save the file.
