Flutter: Local module descriptor class for providerinstaller not found

Question

I have been trying to develop an app which works with firebase and I am not a professional of coding.

Actually, my app is working well on the emulator but after 3-5 seconds I get an error message as you can see below:

W/DynamiteModule(11855): Local module descriptor class for providerinstaller not found.
I/DynamiteModule(11855): Considering local module providerinstaller:0 and remote module providerinstaller:0
W/ProviderInstaller(11855): Failed to load providerinstaller module: No acceptable module found. Local version is 0 and remote version is 0.
W/DynamiteModule(11855): Local module descriptor class for providerinstaller not found.
I/DynamiteModule(11855): Considering local module providerinstaller:0 and remote module providerinstaller:0
W/ProviderInstaller(11855): Failed to load providerinstaller module: No acceptable module found. Local version is 0 and remote version is 0.

And you can see my dependencies below:

dependencies:

  flutter:
    sdk: flutter
  cloud_firestore: ^0.14.0+2
  image: ^2.0.7
  animator: 0.1.4
  image_picker: ^0.6.7+7

In addition to providerinstaller issue above when I try to upload an image with camera, I get additional error below:

You can see my code of my upload page below:

import 'dart:io';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:image_picker/image_picker.dart';

class UploadPage extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _UploadPageState createState() => _UploadPageState();
}

class _UploadPageState extends State<UploadPage> {

  PickedFile file;

  captureImageWithCamera() async {
    Navigator.pop(context);
    final picker = ImagePicker();
    PickedFile imageFile = await picker.getImage(
      source: ImageSource.camera,
      maxHeight: 680,
      maxWidth: 970,
    );
    imageFile = PickedFile(imageFile.path);
    setState(() {
      this.file = imageFile;
    });
  }

  pickImageFromGallery() async {

    Navigator.pop(context);
    final picker = ImagePicker();
    PickedFile imageFile = await picker.getImage(
      source: ImageSource.gallery,
      maxHeight: 680,
      maxWidth: 970,
    );
    imageFile = PickedFile(imageFile.path);
    setState(() {
      this.file = imageFile;
    });
  }

  takeImage(mContext){
    return showDialog(
        context: mContext,
        builder: (context){
          return SimpleDialog(
            title: Text("New Post", style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),),
            children: [
              SimpleDialogOption(
                child: Text("Capture image with camera", style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white),),
                onPressed: captureImageWithCamera,
              ),
              SimpleDialogOption(
                child: Text("Select image from gallery", style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white),),
                onPressed: pickImageFromGallery,
              ),
              SimpleDialogOption(
                child: Text("Cancel", style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white),),
                onPressed: () => Navigator.pop(context),
              ),

            ],
          );
        }
    );
  }

  displayUploadScreen(){
    return Container(
      color: Theme.of(context).accentColor.withOpacity(0.5),
      child: Column(
        mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
        children: [
          Icon(Icons.add_a_photo, color: Colors.grey,size: 200.0,),
          Padding(
            padding: EdgeInsets.only(top: 20.0),
            child: RaisedButton(
              shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(9.0),),
              child: Text("Upload Image", style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white, fontSize: 20.0),),
              color: Colors.green,
              onPressed: () => takeImage(context),
            ),
          ),
        ],
      ),
    );
  }


  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return displayUploadScreen();
  }
}

If you would like to see my code or other files I would like to share with you. Can you please guide me?

Thank you in advance.

Updated July 2021:

There are no defined answers to why these warnings are coming but can follow some steps.

1. make sure that <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/> is defined in all the three AndroidManifest.xml files that i.e debug/main/profile.

for some, having <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" /> in main AndroidManifest file also helps.

2. Sometimes outdated google play services can also cause these warnings so update google play services this happens mostly in the case of an emulator.

3. if you are running your app on older device make user that multi-dex is enabled.

to enable multi-dex support add the following code in

app/build.gradle file

defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.flutter_test_firebase"
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 30
        multiDexEnabled true  //<= add this line
        versionCode flutterVersionCode.toInteger()
        versionName flutterVersionName
    }

and inside the same file add following dependencies

dependencies {
    implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"
    implementation("com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3") // for multi-dex
}

Also make sure that you are using latest firebase plugins.
