iOS 14 not letting Flutter apps (still in dev) to launch from the home screen compared to Building/Running from the IDE

Issue

I've been developing a news app with Flutter and when I build and run it through Android Studio it launches fine, but when I try to launch the app by clicking on it on the home screen, it says "in iOS 14+, debug mode flutter apps can only be launched from Flutter tooling,IDEs ....."(Screenshot attatched). Can someone tell me as to how to get around this?

Solution

Apparently, this is a known issue of Flutter on iOS 14 for apps in debug mode, see this article on the Flutter website, and this GitHub issue. So for the time being, I believe your main workarounds are the following:

• Always run the app from the host PC (using flutter run, IDE debug, etc.)
• Build a release version of your app (instead of debug) and use that on your device, e.g. use flutter run --release
• Use a device with iOS 13 or older
• Use a simulator
