Exception in HttpClient.enableTimelineLogging: type 'Null' is not a subtype of type 'String' of 'function result'

[lamkr]

When running the source below in Flutter, the error "type 'Null' is not a subtype of type 'String' of 'function result'" occurs in the line
io.HttpClient.enableTimelineLogging = true;

void main() {
  // enable network traffic logging
  HttpClient.enableTimelineLogging = true;
  runApp(MyApp());
}

I relied on this reference: Announcing Flutter 1.17

And this only occurs in versions compiled as release: flutter build linux -tlib/main.dart --release (it occurs also in Android),

Stacktrace:

I can confirm that this still happens on linux release build. Debug build runs fine.
