Flutter error retrieving device properties for ro.product.cpu.abi

Question

I am new to flutter and have successfully gotten it installed and working on one machine, but when working on this one I am having some issues. It is a fresh install of android studio, flutter, and gradle. The machine is running an updated Windows 10.

The Flutter doctor statement returns an error while retrieving device properties.

When trying to run the flutter app on an emulated android instance or a real device I get the same error:

Answer 1

Another mistake possible is that for a physical device you need to have the file transfer mode enabled (not charging) as well as debugging enabled.

Answer 2

Try restarting adb, it's a known issue with the adb daemon service and flutter which you can see on github. it has to be fixed on android side sadly no resolution for near future.

on windows,in administrative mode command prompt/powershell

adb kill-server

and then

adb start-server

if adb is not on path in command line you need to add it or navigate to adb.exe location in windows and run command line/powershell from that path.
