I did all the documentation steps to initialize Dynatrace on my Flutter (Android) app.

I've runned  dynatrace_flutter_plugin successfully, but it keeps not working. I'm using the latest plugin version dynatrace_flutter_plugin: ^3.269.1

Hi there!

Just to recap:

  1. You downloaded the dynatrace.config.yaml file from the Dynatrace WebUI and placed it in the root of your flutter project.
  2. Ran the command => flutter pub run dynatrace_flutter_plugin    and then saw that the gradle file was updated.
  3. Added the Dynatrace().start() call similar to what you see here?: https://pub.dev/packages/dynatrace_flutter_plugin#a-namestartplugina3-start-the-flutter-plugin
  4. Build and run your application.

If so and you still receive the same issue that you mentioned, please create a support ticket and add your dynatrace.config.yaml file and the full debug logs at your convenience:
https://pub.dev/packages/dynatrace_flutter_plugin#a-namestartplugina3-start-the-flutter-plugin

 

Thanks!

Hi!

Yes, I did all the steps as you said.

 

I'm thinking that the problem may be related to my project being a module and not an app. Do you support Flutter module interoperability with native app? I didn't find this on the doc.

Hi there.

Apologies for the delay. When using our plugin/package, the native parts should work as well. I don't believe this error is related to that specifically. I would suggest again to create a support ticket to further investigate the issue. Please attach the error and steps that you've done already along with all of the information listed in the open a support case section. 

Thanks!

Nick
