'Onesignal errors in flutter: requires a placeholder substitution but no value for

Getting the following error when building APK (Flutter).

I added my Onesignal App ID even thou I'm not currently making use of it. Someone mentioned that my Onesignal SDK is not properly installed: https://documentation.onesignal.com/docs/flutter-sdk-setup but I don't think that's it.

Fluxstore App

Thanks!

This might help...

Try going to your

android/app/build.gradle

Find defaultConfig and add the following piece of code:

manifestPlaceholders = [
            onesignal_app_id: 'ONE SIGNAL APP ID',
            // Project number pulled from dashboard, local value is ignored.
            onesignal_google_project_number: 'REMOTE'
    ]

defaultConfig {
    // TODO: Specify your own unique Application ID (https://developer.android.com/studio/build/application-id.html).
    applicationId "com.app.android"
    ...
    manifestPlaceholders = [
        onesignal_app_id: 'ONE SIGNAL APP ID HERE',
        // Project number pulled from dashboard, local value is ignored.
        onesignal_google_project_number: 'REMOTE'
    ]
}

Your Onesignal Google project number is your Firebase Sender ID.

Solution 2:[2]

You can use something like below

android {
defaultConfig {
    manifestPlaceholders = [hostName:"www.example.com"]
}
...

}

You can then insert one of the placeholders into the manifest file as an attribute value like this:

<intent-filter ... >
    <data android:scheme="https" android:host="${hostName}" ... />
    ...
</intent-filter>
