Playstore error: App Bundle contains native code, and you've not uploaded debug symbols

Question

When I want to release a new flutter app bundle to the Playstore. I get this error: "This App Bundle contains native code, and you've not uploaded debug symbols. We recommend you upload a symbol file to make your crashes and ANRs easier to analyze and debug." I can't find any way to fix this. I'm new with flutter and releasing app's and getting a bit desperate... Any help would be fantastic.

When I add "android.defaultConfig.ndk.debugSymbolLevel = 'FULL'" (on line 1) to the app/build.gradle as suggested in https://developer.android.com/studio/preview/features#native-crash-symbolization. I get This error in the Android studio terminal. I use this command "flutter build appbundle".

Error in Terminal: FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

If talking about Flutter, looks like the Flutter team needs to change some source files for the NDK, because it does not see where from to generate debug symbols.

Here is an issue thread: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/60240

Setup steps are so:

• Pre-condition: Intall Android studio 4.1+ and Gradle 4.1+

1. Install NDK (Side by Side) in SDK manager

2. Write path to NDK in local.properties

3. Add in app/build.gradle (last line) android.buildTypes.release.ndk.debugSymbolLevel = 'FULL'
