Fixing error: Building with plugins requires symlink support. Please enable Developer Mode in your system settings. In Flutter build.

Tiempo de lectura: < 1 minuto

If you encounter the following error message when using the command:

flutter build apk

or the command:

flutter build appbundle

It’s due to the lack of support for symbolic links (symlink) on your system. This problem can arise on operating systems that do not have developer support enabled or when Flutter cannot create symbolic links for the project’s plugins.

The message indicates that you need to enable “Developer Mode” in your system settings.

To fix it, run this command before generating the build:

start ms-settings:developers

And now you can execute it correctly.
