flutter: Build a release APK targeting most modern smartphones.
$ flutter build apk --target-platform ${android-arm},${android-arm64}
try on your machine

This command is used in the Flutter framework to build an APK (Android application package) file for both ARM and ARM64 architectures on Android devices.

Here's a breakdown of each part of the command:

  • flutter: This is the command-line tool for Flutter.
  • build apk: This sub-command is used to build the APK file for an Android application.
  • --target-platform: This flag is used to specify the target platform(s) that the APK should be built for. In this case, it is set to ${android-arm},${android-arm64}, which means the APK will be built for both ARM and ARM64 architectures.
    • ${android-arm}: This is a placeholder that represents the ARM architecture for Android devices.
    • ${android-arm64}: This is another placeholder that represents the ARM64 architecture for Android devices.

When you run this command in the terminal, it will compile and package your Flutter application specifically for Android devices with the ARM and ARM64 architectures, resulting in an APK file.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
