@Sirrr please try #16049 (comment)

Similar to #15409 (shared_preferences)

@zoechi Thank you for the direction. I managed to solve the problem through running 'flutter run' in the terminal.

At first I changed the Podfile as described in the comment. But then I realized it works without changes, by just calling 'flutter run' in the terminal. I am using Android Studio to build project. But, it does not run 'pod install' when it builds the app. So the missing Pod packages were causing the issue.
