Use release mode for deploying the app, when you want maximum optimization and minimal footprint size.
Use release mode when you are ready to release your app.
For mobile, release mode (which is not supported on the simulator or emulator), means that: – Assertions are disabled. – Debugging information is stripped out. – Debugging is disabled. – Compilation is optimized for fast startup, fast execution, and small package sizes. Service extensions are disabled.
Release mode for a web app means that: – The build is minified and tree shaking has been performed. – The app is compiled with the dart2js compiler for best performance.
The command flutter run --release compiles to release mode.
You can compile to release mode for a specific target with flutter build <target>.
