It looks like this pull request may not have tests. Please make sure to add tests or get an explicit test exemption before merging. If you are not sure if you need tests, consider this rule of thumb: the purpose of a test is to make sure someone doesn't accidentally revert the fix. Ask yourself, is there anything in your PR that you feel it is important we not accidentally revert back to how it was before your fix? Reviewers: Read the Tree Hygiene page and make sure this patch meets those guidelines before LGTMing. If you believe this PR qualifies for a test exemption, contact "@test-exemption-reviewer" in the #hackers channel in Discord (don't just cc them here, they won't see it!). The test exemption team is a small volunteer group, so all reviewers should feel empowered to ask for tests, without delegating that responsibility entirely to the test exemption group. |

Thanks @nvi9! Those extra quotations definitely weren't necessary. @stuartmorgan-g I'm not sure how we'd reasonably write a test for this. WDYT? Should this get a test exemption? |
|
Why couldn't we have a permeable-shard test that verifies that tree shaking is actually reducing size? We definitely wouldn't want this to regress again, and it's clearly behavior-changing. |
I'm happy to include a test in this PR if that's blocking the merge (and someone helps me how to get started with it). Or is it planned to be added in a different one? |
Ah, sorry, I thought I had responded to @stuartmorgan-g. Yes, we should probably add a test here if we can. Let me follow up with you tomorrow with some starting points when I have a minute to investigate. |
|
I've gone ahead and added a test and made another small change to @chingjun, can I trouble you to review now that I'm also a contributor on this PR? |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
It's crazy that this bug stayed under the radar for so long!
LGTM and thanks for the fix!
I thought so too! I think this is worth cherry picking into stable as it's fixing a massive regression. |

<!-- Thanks for filing a pull request! Reviewers are typically assigned within a week of filing a request. To learn more about code review, see our documentation on Tree Hygiene: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/main/docs/contributing/Tree-hygiene.md --> The icon tree shaking on desktop seems to be broken, not for just the 3rd party packages, but MaterialIcons too. My assumptation is that the IconTreeShaker is not enabled when the argument value is quoted (is the value received with quotes and so there is no exact string match here?): https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/3ba0d6d76345c69383925a0934ec58f010b11adf/packages/flutter_tools/lib/src/build_system/targets/icon_tree_shaker.dart#L95 Both this and the updated lines were chaged years ago based on git blame, so the above might be a precarious argument, but the other argument values are not quoted and removing the quotes seemingly fixes tree shaking on desktop (was it working ever with tool_backend?). I've made the following comparasion with a default `flutter create`-d project: `flutter build windows --release --analyze-size` Build sizes with the original tool code (Flutter 3.41.6, stable channel): ``` Release/ data/ app.so (Dart AOT) 3 MB Dart AOT symbols accounted decompressed size 3 MB package:flutter 2 MB dart:core 254 KB dart:ui 200 KB dart:mixin_deduplication 191 KB dart:typed_data 165 KB package:material_color_utilities 85 KB dart:async 83 KB dart:convert 49 KB dart:collection 43 KB dart:io 33 KB dart:isolate 28 KB package:vector_math/ vector_math_64.dart 24 KB dart:ffi 17 KB package:example/ main.dart 3 KB package:collection/ src 2 KB dart:mirrors 1 KB dart:concurrent 615 B dart:developer 453 B dart:math 282 B dart:nativewrappers 260 B flutter_assets 2 MB icudtl.dat 842 KB example.exe 88 KB flutter_windows.dll 20 MB ``` Build sizes with this change: ``` Release/ data/ app.so (Dart AOT) 3 MB Dart AOT symbols accounted decompressed size 3 MB package:flutter 2 MB dart:core 254 KB dart:ui 200 KB dart:mixin_deduplication 191 KB dart:typed_data 165 KB package:material_color_utilities 85 KB dart:async 83 KB dart:convert 49 KB dart:collection 43 KB dart:io 33 KB dart:isolate 28 KB package:vector_math/ vector_math_64.dart 24 KB dart:ffi 17 KB package:example/ main.dart 3 KB package:collection/ src 2 KB dart:mirrors 1 KB dart:concurrent 615 B dart:developer 453 B dart:math 282 B dart:nativewrappers 260 B flutter_assets 393 KB icudtl.dat 842 KB example.exe 88 KB flutter_windows.dll 20 MB ``` You can see the flutter_assets size dropping from 2 MB to 393 KB.

File sizes at `.\build\flutter_assets\packages\material_symbols_icons\lib\fonts\` without this change: ``` Mode LastWriteTime Length Name ---- ------------- ------ ---- -a--- 2026. 03. 26. 10:25 10461596 MaterialSymbolsOutlined.ttf -a--- 2026. 03. 26. 10:25 14967396 MaterialSymbolsRounded.ttf -a--- 2026. 03. 26. 10:25 8698948 MaterialSymbolsSharp.ttf ``` With this change (and referencing at least one symbol in the code): ``` Mode LastWriteTime Length Name ---- ------------- ------ ---- -a--- 2026. 03. 27. 16:12 2404 MaterialSymbolsOutlined.ttf -a--- 2026. 03. 27. 16:12 2632 MaterialSymbolsRounded.ttf -a--- 2026. 03. 27. 16:12 2380 MaterialSymbolsSharp.ttf ``` Fixes flutter#157216 ## Pre-launch Checklist - [x] I read the [Contributor Guide] and followed the process outlined there for submitting PRs. - [x] I read the [AI contribution guidelines] and understand my responsibilities, or I am not using AI tools. - [x] I read the [Tree Hygiene] wiki page, which explains my responsibilities. - [ ] I read and followed the [Flutter Style Guide], including [Features we expect every widget to implement]. - [x] I signed the [CLA]. - [x] I listed at least one issue that this PR fixes in the description above. - [ ] I updated/added relevant documentation (doc comments with `///`). - [ ] I added new tests to check the change I am making, or this PR is [test-exempt]. - [ ] I followed the [breaking change policy] and added [Data Driven Fixes] where supported. - [ ] All existing and new tests are passing.

The icon tree shaking on desktop seems to be broken, not for just the 3rd party packages, but MaterialIcons too. My assumptation is that the IconTreeShaker is not enabled when the argument value is quoted (is the value received with quotes and so there is no exact string match here?):
flutter/packages/flutter_tools/lib/src/build_system/targets/icon_tree_shaker.dart
Line 95 in 3ba0d6d
Both this and the updated lines were chaged years ago based on git blame, so the above might be a precarious argument, but the other argument values are not quoted and removing the quotes seemingly fixes tree shaking on desktop (was it working ever with tool_backend?).
I've made the following comparasion with a default
flutter create-d project:flutter build windows --release --analyze-sizeBuild sizes with the original tool code (Flutter 3.41.6, stable channel):
Build sizes with this change:
You can see the flutter_assets size dropping from 2 MB to 393 KB.
Size of the icon font file at
.\build\flutter_assets\fonts\without this change:With this change:
When adding a 3rd party package (eg. material_symbols_icons), the tree shaking is fixed there as well (size of flutter_assets drops from 35 MB to 402 KB).
File sizes at
.\build\flutter_assets\packages\material_symbols_icons\lib\fonts\without this change:With this change (and referencing at least one symbol in the code):
Fixes #157216
