I am getting this error when compiling a release using Flutter
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
[ +1 ms] * What went wrong:
[ ] Execution failed for task ':flutter_inappwebview:minifyReleaseWithR8'.
[ ] > java.util.zip.ZipException: zip END header not found
However compiling a debug apk works perfectly fine. I have tried every possibly solutions I came across to do with deleting and reinstalling gradle nothing works.
Flutter fix suggests this:
[!] The shrinker may have failed to optimize the Java bytecode. │
│ To disable the shrinker, pass the `--no-shrink` flag to this command. │
│ To learn more, see: https://developer.android.com/studio/build/shrink-code
It seems that the R8 could be causing the problem but when I try to compile with --no-shrink it is totally ignored it's still attempts to minify with R8.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated
I tried to disable minify in order to compile without shrinking but it is still uses the R8 to minify
