Flutter 1.9: D/skia ( 5106): Shader compilation error

I solved my Shader compilation error by changing emulator's settings.

Press that ... button which is located on the side panel of emulator, and go to Settings section. There, go to Advanced tab and change OpenGL ES API level to Compatibility (OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0).

Do not forget to close and rerun the emulator after this change. On the first run, emulator could pop a warning on its screen and it would take a while to get ready, but do not worry.


The error message comes from: Add ShaderErrorHandler to GrContextOptions

In the previous Flutter versions, the persistent cache had been disabled to remedy the problem. However, it is currently enabled in the Fllutter engine: Revert "Disable the persistent cache

Possible solutions:

  • Downgrade your Flutter version to the linked commit
  • Enable rendering flutter run --enable-software-rendering
  • Disable hardware acceleration in the emulator

Issue:

8578 Shader compilation error


Open the terminal, Navigate to your folder and

Type flutter run --enable-software-rendering after that debug and run again.

This worked for me and it might help you too!
