Bundling assets only on a specific platform (and remove assets on another platform) #65065
Description
NOTE: This is not a duplicate! My previous issue #64993 is closed because of wrongly marked as a duplicate. Thus I have no choice but to create it again :/
(Why not duplicate of #8230 : I want to bundle those 1MB photos only in Android. Thus, in the final .ipa file of iOS, there are no such photos taking space.)
Steps to Reproduce
Hi thanks for the wonderful Flutter! I have some images (1.1MB) that should only be used in Android, not iOS. Therefore, I want to remove those images from the IPA file in iOS. I have read the official doc, but it did not mention things like this :/
Expected results:
Give some options, such as (pubspec.yaml):
flutter:
assets:
android:
- some_images_only_in_android/
ios:
- some_images_only_in_ios/
all:
- some_images_for_both/
Actual results: No such feature

@fzyzcjy why do you think this isn't a duplicate of #8230. These are both feature requests for platform specific assets?
fzyzcjy commentedon Sep 2, 2020
@jonahwilliams Hi thanks for the reply! That one is "...use a platform (android/iOS) as a variant...", meaning that, given
arrow.png, android may use one arrow shape and ios another. However, in my feature request, I want "Android hasarrow.png, while iOS does not contain any files about arrows".jonahwilliams commentedon Sep 2, 2020
That's a good point. I had considered excluding assets as part of that feature request inherently, but it isn't very explicit in the original bug.

@jonahwilliams Thanks!

@jonahwilliams @pedromassangocode @TahaTesser @jmagman Hi I see some tag changing, and it seems I am not alone (people such as @ghowen also needs this feature), so I wonder the status of this feature request? Thanks!

Hi @fzyzcjy
Using "add reaction" on the initial comment would increase priority while +1 comments are rather pointless and cause lots of people to get notified for no reason.

@pedromassangocode Thank you very much and sorry for bothering!

Does anyone have a workaround for this? Do you just remove assets manually after build (the only idea I have)?
hwkim1127 commentedon Aug 13, 2025
I use makefile with some scripts(bash and bat) when building
amrgetment commentedon Aug 13, 2025
Workaround:
1- bash script

2-Use flavors: android_flavor etc
