May be android studio has problem. You can create new android project and copy all this code to new project. Wish that works — Vinay Rathod, Jul 05 '18 at 04:59

This happens if your android project did not synced successfully. You need to close your project and import it again, wait for notices for a possible needed update ie: SDK, sdk tools etc. and continue till it says synced successfully. After that the menu for generate signed apk will now be available.

Probably your project is not an Android Application project but just an Android Library project.

Inside your build.gradle under your app/ directory, there have to be a line as below.

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

Double check this.

this one is the "top level" build script, you need to check the one inside "module level". – shizhen Jul 05 '18 at 07:07
From your "top level" build.gradle, you are missing google() repo which should be put above jcenter(). – shizhen Jul 05 '18 at 07:08
Yes there is apply plugin: 'com.android.application' – cas2018 Jul 05 '18 at 07:45
Your project need to sync success firstly. From your screenshot, it synced failed. Check your sync error message details and fix that first. – shizhen Jul 05 '18 at 07:52
1:07 PM Gradle sync started 1:07 PM Project setup started 1:07 PM Gradle sync finished in 2s 872ms – cas2018 Jul 05 '18 at 08:04

Follow Below Steps for Nice and Easy Way:-

Go to Tools->Flutter->Open for editing in android studio.

Choose separate window. This will open the android part of your project in separate window.

Wait to Gradle to finish it's build.

Go to Build-> Generate signed bundle/apk.

Follow below video for further process.

I believe, it happens because of configuration. Check from the android studio console.

I go the same problem and tried all the things. Here is what you need to understand before generating the release version.

Make sure that you have run flutter clean before procceding for this
Make sure you have generated the release sha keys for your application. If not then you can run the command from cmd to get it. or other way is. Open Android studio -> open android folder as a project -> right click on android folder -> open module settings -> signing configs -> add new -> named it something e.g. release -> create a new keystore from there -> add password an all other things required. once done add that keystore there save and apply. if you see successful message then proceed with the build

now you can click on build apk. it will build a signed apk

Try to refresh your project, import the libraries again and see whether the build option is there or not. Also check your project sdk.

Open Build.gradle and check if lintOptions is True then change to False if not generate then add plugin

lintOptions {
       checkReleaseBuilds false
   }

//At the end of Build.gradle file
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
