Google Fonts package Not working in flutter - flutter

Question

The google_fonts package is not working in the final build apk in FLutter, it works fine in the debug mode, but as soon as I build it and install the final apk, It just shows regular font.

Answer 1

It could be because of internet permission issue, google fonts using internet acces and if don't apply the permission in your project it won't work when you install the app.
for this you need to add follow line to file AndroidManifest.xml which is there;
yourappname/android/app/src/debug/AndroidManifest.xml
and the line you will add:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

Answer 2

I don't believe it is an internet problem. Most times fonts using Flutter packages contain an error in the Pubspec file.
Check your Pubspec.yaml file. Make sure your google fonts package is Formatted this way
version: 1.0.0+1
environment:
sdk: ">=2.7.0 <3.0.0"
dependencies:
flutter:
sdk: flutter
google_fonts: ^1.1.0
flutter:
assets:
- google_fonts/ # you only need this line and nothing in the fonts area per https://pub.dev/packages/google_fonts

Answer 3

Make sure you have added the below line in /android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

To use google_fonts you must initialize the license for it.
To do that follow the steps:
Suppose you using this:
fontFamily: GoogleFonts.shadowsIntoLight().fontFamily,
Therefore, you are using shadowsIntoLight font.
To license it, first download the particular font from Google Fonts.
After you download the zip files, extract it.
Make a folder named google_fonts in the root directory of your flutter app file.
=> Now place the .ttf and OFL.txt files (present in the extracted folder) in google_fonts folder that you made previously.
[Note: Only OFL.txt is enough for all your fonts.]
This is how my one looks:
Now go to main.dart file:
=> Add these lines inside the void main() {runApp(MyApp());}:
void main() {
LicenseRegistry.addLicense(() async* {
final license = await rootBundle.loadString('google_fonts/OFL.txt');
yield LicenseEntryWithLineBreaks(['google_fonts'], license);
});
runApp(...);
}
and import the followings:
import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
Now close your app and restart it and the release it:
flutter build apk --release

Google fonts uses internet, so you may have to update the dependencies in the manifest.xml file.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
Else you can try to make the google font available in the offline by adding it in the assets folder.
And then change the code from
// Online Code
Text(
'This is hammersmithOne from Google Font'
style: GoogleFonts.hammersmithOne(),
),
to
// Offline Code
Text(
'This is hammersmithOne from Google Font',
style: TextStyle(fontFamily: 'hammersmithOne') // This is loaded from assets
),
