Hi @AnukirtiYadav, please provide a completed and minimal reproducible code sample so that we may verify this. Also, please provide the output of flutter doctor -v as well. Thank you!

Hi @AnukirtiYadav, I've faced this issue before. It's mainly causing on my mac m1 by the android emulator. Can be resolved by quitting the emulator and run again.

[neri4488]

I have the same on m1 but tried this option and nothing has changed, how do you quit the emulator.
I just clicked the 'x' and that emulator tab closed but the issue persisted.

Try to use Cold Boot Now to start the emulator again.

[Sebastian1808]

I get the same error on a MacBook Pro but with intel, is it a mac error?

I tried restarting the emulator, closing it and reopening it but the error remains.

[binaryjc]

I get the same error. i'm trying to add google ad banner on my app. currently just using the test AdMob app and ad units. ad is not showing.

[mihaita-tinta]

I get the same error on a MacBook Pro but with intel, is it a mac error?

I tried restarting the emulator, closing it and reopening it but the error remains.

In my case, I reverted to Pixel 2 API 30 emulator on my mac and it works fine compared to latest version (33)

[ramoenariel]

I've the same problem in the emulator, BUT not in physical phone.

[melihhakanpektas]

I've the same problem in the google play api 33 emulator.

[Wegi]

I encounter the same error, when trying to use the Google One Tap button with Jetpack Compose. Restarting the Emulator seems to help most of the time.

Emulator:
Pixel 5 API 33

[dmitry-kotorov]

I've the same issue on Pixel XL API 33 emulator

[huycozy]

Hi everyone facing this issue, I tried running the default Flutter project (counter app) on Pixel 4 API 33 emulator but can not reproduce this issue. It would be nice if you can provide a completed and minimal reproducible code sample so that we may verify this, and along with the output of flutter doctor -v as well. Thanks!

In my case, after wiping data of emulator works.

[rai-h]

It's the issue with emulators on m1. For now the only way out from this issue is cold booting your emulator.

[Cotspheer]

I had the same issue with a Nexus 5X API 33 Google Play x86_64 emulated device. I did multiple things at once so I'm not sure which one did the trick but I'm leaving my steps here in case it will help someone out:

• Updated build.gradle to use ext.kotlin_version = '1.7.10'
• Added <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" /> to AndroidManifest.xml
• Updated google_maps_flutter 2.2.1 as I got the exception @AnukirtiYadav mentioned but only recognized after I saw that the google-maps-widget was not working
• Wipe Data of Emulator as @dhvanit-v-simformsolutions has mentioned and then did a cold boot

But I still get this log error:

E/SurfaceSyncer( 8886): Failed to find sync for id=0
W/Parcel  ( 8886): Expecting binder but got null!

which makes me concerned if it is "stable" to use. I'm currently testing android api 33 and I'm on the master channel of flutter as it has a critical not released fix regarding tree-shaking which caused non related issues on iOS devices.

EDIT: Maybe another important side-note, I do not have this issue with API versions 30 and 31. Also the log message does not appear on those API versions.

[thecodepapaya]

Have faced this issue only when working with API 33 emulator on M1 Mac. The issue gets resolved temporarily after a cold boot of the emulator but it comes back every now and then.

[github-actions]

Without additional information, we are unfortunately not sure how to resolve this issue. We are therefore reluctantly going to close this bug for now.
If you find this problem please file a new issue with the same description, what happens, logs and the output of 'flutter doctor -v'. All system setups can be slightly different so it's always better to open new issues and reference the related ones.
Thanks for your contribution.

this also worked on my windows machine

FYI
I also started receiving this error today, Nexus 10 API 33
My environment is VS Code on 16'' MacBook Pro (Intel).

Simulator reboot made no difference.
Issue was resolved by simulator cold boot.

[YudhiPrasetyo]

anyone know how to cool boot on intellij since my emulator doesn't show and i have tried cool boot from android studio still cannot since the emulator still running

[TDuffinNTU]

Noticed this during a navigation transition while testing on a Windows Android Emulator earlier today. Didn't cause any noticeable issues but though it's worth adding that it wasn't just M1 Macs for me.
