SHA-1 Generation for android Method 1 (NB: MOST RECOMMENDED WAY)

1. Right click on 'gradlew' and go to 'Open in Terminal' This file is found under {{YOUR PROJECT}}/android/gradlew 1.1 Or Change directory to "android" i.e. cd android
2. Type in the following command.

gradlew signingReport

• or If did not work first try second command(on windows):

./gradlew signingReport

SHA-1 Generation for android Method 2 ((NB: NOT RECOMMENDED))

1. For viewing the SHA-1 key from the keystore file that is in flutter project directory:

 keytool -list -v -keystore C:\Users\Administrator\AndroidStudioProjects\chatty\debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android

2.1 But if there is no keystore file, SHA-1 can be created using following way:

keytool -genkey -v -keystore debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

2.2 For viewing the SHA-1 key from the keystore file that we created

  keytool -list -v -keystore %USERPROFILE%\.android\debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android

To solve error pod install error

• Unable to find a target named RunnerTests in project Runner.xcodeproj
• SOLUTION: In the ios/Podfile, comment the use of that reference in the same file as follows:

  flutter_install_all_macos_pods File.dirname(File.realpath(__FILE__))
#   target 'RunnerTests' do
#     inherit! :search_paths
#   end
end
