Flutter : [Cloud_firestore] no data in release mode - flutter

Question

when trying to get data from firestore in release mode "null" is always returned but not in debug or profile
Steps to reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
flutter run --release
no data comes at all from firebase
Expected behavior
as debug and profile it should get all data from firebase
Sample project
repository :
import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';
import '../../../domain/models/yearmodel.dart';
import '../../../domain/years/contracts/i.years.repository.dart';
class YearsRepository implements IYearsRepository {
final _firestore = FirebaseFirestore.instance;
static const String yearscollection = "years";
#override
Stream<YearsModel> get yearsStream {
final docRef = _firestore.collection(yearscollection).doc("classes");
final snapshots = docRef.snapshots();
return snapshots.map((current) {
print(current.data());
return YearsModel.fromJson(current.data()!);
});
}
}
ui with flutter hooks and riverpod :
years.when(
data: (years) {
print(years);
return Column(children: [
SizedBox(
height: 250,
child: CupertinoPicker(
looping: true,
children: years.classes!
.map((e) => Center(
child: Text(e.name!),
))
.toList(),
itemExtent: 46,
onSelectedItemChanged: (index) async {
isclinical.value =
years.classes![index].isclinical!;
yearId.value = years.classes![index].id!;
yearName.value = years.classes![index].name!;
},
),
),
const SizedBox(
height: 10,
),
Container(
height: 50,
width: 210,
decoration: BoxDecoration(
border: Border.all(color: Colors.blue),
borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(15),
color: Colors.white.withOpacity(0.1)),
child: Center(
child: Text(
yearName.value,
style: const TextStyle(fontSize: 24),
)),
)
]);
},
loading: () => const ShimmerAffect(height: 100, width: 100),
error: (error, stack) {
print("$error.toString");
Center(
child: Text("$error"),
);
Additional context
when the provider is triggered , it always hits the error: (error, stack) block

Answer 1

You may not give permission to access the internet.
Go to android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml and insert this line in the manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
UPDATE:
Another reason may be that you did not give permission from Firestore.
For this, go to the project > Firestore > Rules
Then, modify the line which contains "allow"(mostly line 5) to:
allow read, write;
I hope that my answer will help you! :)
