The solution is easy.
Just run flutter clean and run flutter build apk after that and it generates the updated app apk.
If you want to install it directly just run flutter install after the build command.

To all the beginners If you wish to release an apk of a flutter app just do: flutter run --release (and make sure to connect your device to a phone) steps to ensure your phone is connected: 1. enable usb debugging mode in your phone 2.click on version number of your phone in system settings to enter into developer mode 3. change the phone mode to transferring file mode

After you run the command go to build->apps->output->apk

If flutter clean and flutter build apk also generates apk with old version code in your pubspec.yaml change the version like this version: 1.0.2+2 Before + it is your version name and after + sign it is your version code

NOTE: Your new version number should be in the place of 2. Or you can use different format such as 1.2+2

You can run flutter clean Then run flutter build apk --split-per-abi to split the apk. It will build three apks and you can find them in build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/

First clean project with command:

flutter clean

Run the command to build the APK:

flutter build apk

The generated APK file(s) will be located in the folder: build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/

You can also specify different options to customize the build process:

To build a release APK:

flutter build apk --release

To build a debug APK:

flutter build apk --debug

To build a release APK with multiple ABIs:

flutter build apk --release --split-per-abi

To build an APK for a specific target platform:

flutter build apk --release --target-platform android-arm64
