问题描述 #

应用调试模式运行正常，但构建Release版本时触发上述R8编译错误，已尝试添加-dontwarn android.window.BackEvent规则但无效。

解决方案 #

1. 升级依赖库版本

android.window.BackEvent是Android 13（API 33）新增的类，错误通常源于flutter_inappwebview或Flutter SDK版本与目标Android API级别不匹配：

• 在pubspec.yaml中更新flutter_inappwebview到最新稳定版，执行flutter pub get同步依赖。
• 升级Flutter SDK到支持API 33的版本（建议3.10+），执行flutter upgrade。

2. 调整Android构建配置

在android/app/build.gradle文件中，确保编译和目标SDK版本至少为33：

android {
    compileSdkVersion 33
    defaultConfig {
        targetSdkVersion 33
        // 其他原有配置
    }
    // 其他原有配置
}

3. 添加完整的ProGuard/R8规则

在android/app/proguard-rules.pro中同时添加keep和dontwarn规则，替代单独的dontwarn：

-keep class android.window.BackEvent { *; }
-dontwarn android.window.BackEvent
-keep class io.flutter.view.FlutterView { *; }

4. 临时禁用R8（不推荐）

若上述方案无法快速解决，可临时关闭R8压缩（会导致包体积增大），在android/gradle.properties中添加：

android.enableR8=false
