No application found for TargetPlatform.android_x86

Question

This's my first flutter App and for some reason the Android launcher icon stopped showing so I was trying to fix that, I did a bunch of things and ended up with this error.

flutter doctor shows everything is fine.
ios version builds just fine.

p.s I ran flutter create. with no luck.

The IDE log

No application found for TargetPlatform.android_x86.
Is your project missing an android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml?

Consider running "flutter create ." to create one.

If you have an in your AndroidManifest.xml it's probably this issue: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/80532 — PieterAelse, Apr 15 '21 at 20:47

Add package back in the manifest file.

Android Studio 'Chipmunk' (2021.2.1) had recommended that I remove package in AndroidManifest.xml:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example">

And it added namespace in android/app/build.gradle:

namespace 'com.example'

This didn't immediately break my app, but after cleaning everything, it broke it, and the only fix was to revert, so that the package name remained in the AndroidManifest.xml, as it was before.

The error I was getting was:

package identifier or launch activity not found.
Please check /example/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml for errors.
No application found for TargetPlatform.android_arm64.

Step 1: Go to AndroidManifest.xml

Add package="com.example" , repalce with your own package name.

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example">

Step 2:

Step 3:

flutter pub get

Hope it will solve your issue.

Adding package to the manifest is deprecated in gradle 8. Use the android/namespace parameter in build.gradle instead. – sweetfa Jul 31 '23 at 04:58

What worked for me?

Did a Flutter build to generate Android APK -> It was successfully built
Then tried outrunning the Android app on the Android emulator and the device, it worked as usual.

What didn't work for me?

Restarting the Android Studio
Issuing flutter clean, flutter pub get, flutter packages get
Restarting the computer
Re-cloning the code repository and trying to run the app with a different source code instance
Re-importing the Flutter project to Android studio
Setting up environment variables

So the conclusion:

Most probably due to some busy times I could have closed or stopped an Android build that was ongoing and it has caused a corrupted state in some of the files in the pub cache and which had caused this issue. Got resolved this issue along with some help from my office colleague as well.

The issue is "fixed" when some build data is already there, for example when running flutter build apk --debug and then flutter run.

I had these same issues, none of the above solutions worked for me. I instead solved it by

Updating my dart SDK check out the instructions here as specified in the dart document
Ran flutter doctor afterwards and it seemed flutter couldn't find the location for my android SDK, (I don't know how) I, therefore, added it with flutter config --android-sdk /Users/<name>/Library/Android/sdk (since i am using a mac).
flutter doctor once more to confirm everything looks ok.
Next I ran flutter clean and flutter pub get.
flutter run and everything looks good.

An extreme answer for those still facing this problem, delete the android folder and then only run the flutter create . command. Beware if you have any changes made in the android folder though.

This error is due some miss configuration in the AndroidManifest.xml.

In my case The meta-data tag for flutterEmbedding was inside the activity tag, and this was causing the error

If you have another running project, just compare the two files and you should probably find what is wrong.

This Error is because the flutter does not find the SDK path. You just need to set the SDK Path by following the command using the terminal.

flutter config --android-sdk SDK_PATH

For example

flutter config --android-sdk D:\Android\Sdk
