Flutter crashing on failed PlatformAssetBundle

Question

Running my app I get a crash, but stack trace doesn't go deep enough because of an Async call? I cannot figure out what is trying to grab an image?

Below is the assets part of my pubspec.yaml file

assets:
    - assets/
    - assets/images/

Using VSCode and it shows any images I reference or if I mouse over the reference it shows the images.

@protected
  Future<ui.Codec> _loadAsync(AssetBundleImageKey key, DecoderCallback decode) async {
    ByteData data;
    // Hot reload/restart could change whether an asset bundle or key in a
    // bundle are available, or if it is a network backed bundle.
    try {
      data = await key.bundle.load(key.name);
    } on FlutterError {
      PaintingBinding.instance.imageCache.evict(key);
      rethrow;  <---- crashes here
    }

I am not grabbing any external images (URL) in my code. I added Google Maps SDK so maybe its something it is trying to grab? But not sure why no stack trace?

VSCode see the images before I send it to the iOS simulator. These are the images that it cannot find. It finds all other images referenced in the file.

Below is the assets part of my pubspec.yaml file

assets:
    - assets/
    - assets/images/

Try to follow the indentation of the documentation.

Here is an example:

flutter:
  assets:
    - assets/my_icon.png
    - assets/background.png

If the error still exist, try to follow the workaround here:

It worked for me:

1. Set only full path to asset in pubspec.yaml

e.g.

assets:
    - assets/files/asset.txt
    - assets/images/icons/myicon.png

Whole folder not worked for me - assets/

2. Add ./ to the beginning of your asset path when you loading it

e.g. rootBundle.loadString('./assets/path/to your/asset.txt

3. flutter clean

Also, as mentioned in this comment, using flutter clean is a good idea if there are some weird behavior from your app.
