On which devices does this issue appear? Additionally, could you please share a minimal reproducible code, including the contents of the AndroidManifest.xml file?

Sure I can @AbdeMohlbi. It appears in all android devices I tested. It also happens if the permission is set using a package to ask permission when running the app. And it happens not only using read contacts permission, but others like camera permission happens the same way.

reproducible using ur code :

    • Dart version 3.5.0 (build 3.5.0-148.0.dev)
    • DevTools version 2.36.0-dev.5

this happens only in debug mode and when this happens app does lost connection (simular to when switching to dark mode sometimes )
in release mode issue happens but the black screen appears only for 2 seconds at most then the app show again could u confirm that ?
EDIT : the black screen issue does appear in native apps (tested on facebook mobile app) and it does get the black screen for 2 seconds at most then complete running .
i guess this is not a flutter specifique issue

Yes @AbdeMohlbi . I confirm. It only happens in debug mode. I didn´t see that before. That´s greate news. Thank you!!!

Thanks for the report @guperini
Have you checked what's the behavior in native Android app ? The Android OS kills the app whenever the user revokes any permissions, so this doesn't seem to be a Flutter specific bug.

It doesn't happen using a native android app in debug mode. It's probably a Flutter issue.

[darshankawar]

Thanks for the update. I was able to replicate this on S10. While granting and revoking the permissions, the app seems to be quitting and throws below in the console log and hence it could be getting stuck at splash screen.

Lost connection to device.
the Dart compiler exited unexpectedly.
