I generally do per processor builds using flutter build apk --debug --split-per-abi from the command line.  However, I recently had to build a fat apk by using issuing a flutter build apk --debug.  Since then I have been unable to build split apks. When I try I get the message

* Where:
Script 'path\to\flutter\packages\flutter_tools\gradle\flutter.gradle' line: 646

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'android'.
> A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
   > The value for this property cannot be changed any further.

How can this be fixed?  flutter clean does not help.

Why don't you automate all this ? with CodeMagic or GitHub Actions its better and avoid u to use commands line.

The question is more about why some command line are deseappearing without notice?  🤔

I have noticed recently that this cmd was no longer suggested, only flutter build apk was suggested. I know that does not help you a lot but it means it is not your fault.

Now, flutter build apk works and if using Android Studio it is quite easy to upgrade the gradle . Then, runing a gradlew lint or more exactly a gradlew wrapper can help to have zero error in release debug and profile mode.
As far as split per abi is concerned, I do not know and it is no longer suggested.

flutter channel master
flutter upgrade
flutter clean
flutter pub get
flutter channel stable
flutter upgrade
flutter clean
flutter pub get

and the problem is gone.  split-per-abi is very handy when sharing builds internally with a geographically remote team member so it is not so easily foregone.  As far as automation, Android Studio etc - I prefer to work with VSCode and the command line.  That is a personal choice and not exactly one that is deprecated by Flutter

You were able to split a debug APK per-abi?

Why not generate the release and split that?
