If added provider tag it shows error like this, look over it, and I added provider_paths.xml file in the path res>xml>provider_paths.xml

Please look over this all and give me a solution. Thanks in Advance!

Answer 1

regiser your provider in AndroidManifest.xml

<provider
    android:name="com.com.nine_am.app.flutter_inappwebview.InAppWebViewFileProvider"
    android:authorities="${applicationId}.flutter_inappwebview.fileprovider"
    android:exported="false"
    android:grantUriPermissions="true">
    <meta-data
        android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
        android:resource="@xml/provider_paths" />
</provider>

EDIT

Add multidex into android

see here are the steps https://developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex
