Issue: Flutter 3.22 different behavior between debug and release mode

Users have reported discrepancies between Flutter 3.22’s debug and release modes, with issues arising in release mode but not in debug. This brief explores the problem’s scope, steps to reproduce, expected versus actual results, and ongoing inquiries into platform-specific concerns and code-related details.

Flutter 3.22 different behavior between debug and release mode

Description: After updating to the latest stable version of Flutter (3.22), users are experiencing different behavior between debug and release modes. While everything works fine in debug mode, the application encounters issues in release mode. Reverting to the previous stable version (3.19.6) resolves the problem.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Upgrade Flutter to version 3.22.
2. Run the application in release mode.
3. Observe the behavior.
4. Run the application in debug mode.
5. Compare the behavior between debug and release modes.

Expected Results:

Both release and debug modes should exhibit the same behavior.

Actual Results:

Release mode behaves differently compared to debug mode on both Windows and macOS. The web version works fine.

Additional Information:

• No specific code sample is provided due to the complexity of the application.
• No screenshots or videos are available.
• No output log is generated when running in release mode.
• The Flutter Doctor output indicates missing components for Android toolchain and unknown Android license status.

Experiencing a similar issue where the app crashes in TestFlight but works fine in the simulator (debug mode). No error logs are visible in either debug or release mode. Device info: iPhone15, iOS 17.5.

Requesting crash logs from TestFlight. Confirming if the issue persists in local release mode. Inquiring if the problem is iOS-specific or affects other platforms as well.
