Am having the same problem

I fixed it by overriding package:
Go to android->build.gradle

Change compileSdkVersion to 33 and minSdkVersion to 21.

🔥 Works for Me!

I have a library that requires compile SDK 34

[walulyafrancis]

I will be using this forked version https://pub.dev/packages/cached_video_player_fork since it is working well in release until the issue is resolved

I have this same issues, and It took me days to figure out that its this package that is causing a build to fail.

Found a decent solution from @
Yash Garg https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76749280/could-not-compile-my-app-in-release-mode-due-to-aapt-error-resource-androida with an explanation to why this happens in release and not in debug.

you need to add the dependency like this in your pubspec.yaml since the problem comes from the dependency gradle

 cached_video_player:
    git:
        url: https://github.com/vikram25897/flutter_cached_video_player
        ref: feature/gradle_version_bump

[walulyafrancis]

the plugin Kotilin version and targetSdkVersion need to be updated for a fix

[SantiagoPineapple]

Im using packages that needs "minSdkVersion 23" so I fixed using this installation

cached_video_player:
git:
url: https://github.com/vikram25897/flutter_cached_video_player
ref: feature/gradle_version_bump
and removing package="com.lazyarts.vikram.cached_video_player" from AndroidManifest located in the package, but only works locally

after

Try this out

Add this at the end of allprojects in android/build.gradle

subprojects {
        afterEvaluate { project ->
            if (project.hasProperty('android')) {
                project.android {
                    def sdkVersion = compileSdkVersion.toString()
                    def sdkNumber = sdkVersion.replaceAll("[^0-9]", "").toInteger()
                    if (sdkNumber < 30) {
                        compileSdkVersion 30
                    }

                    buildFeatures {
                        buildConfig = true
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

Can you please post your pubspec.yaml
APK releases have R8 which trys to shrink resources ending up not packaging some of them.

To prevent this, you need to add the package directly in your pubspec.yaml like this:

dependencies:
    cached_video_player:
        git:
          url: https://github.com/vikram25897/flutter_cached_video_player
          ref: feature/gradle_version_bump

Can you please post your pubspec.yaml你能把你的 pubspec.yaml 发布吗 APK releases have R8 which trys to shrink resources ending up not packaging some of them.APK 版本具有 R8，它尝试缩小资源，最终不会打包其中一些资源。

To prevent this, you need to add the package directly in your pubspec.yaml like this:为了防止这种情况，你需要直接在 pubspec.yaml 中添加 package，如下所示：

dependencies:
    cached_video_player:
        git:
          url: https://github.com/vikram25897/flutter_cached_video_player
          ref: feature/gradle_version_bump

dependency_overrides:
  cached_video_player:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/vikram25897/flutter_cached_video_player
      ref: feature/gradle_version_bump
