Flutter app shows a black screen before loading the app

Question

I have noticed this problem with flutter apps, when I open a flutter app from cold boot, I see a black screen popping before the actual app is loaded. I have seen the problem with the Newsvoice production app and as well as with a test app I installed.

Is it a bug in the Flutter SDK?

Answer 1

This issue was fixed recently. If you are using a version of Flutter that has this engine fix, you won't see the black frame. (The fix should be on the Flutter master branch by now, but not the alpha branch.)
