Describe the problem

the tutorial says about android/app/build.gradle.kts:

"Make sure that the android {} block also contains the default debug and release build types:"

[...]

buildTypes {
      getByName("debug") {...}
      getByName("release") {...}
    }

...while the actual android/app/build.gradle.kts contains (in particular, there is no "debug" section):

buildTypes {
        release {
            // TODO: Add your own signing config for the release build.
            // Signing with the debug keys for now, so `flutter run --release` works.
            signingConfig = signingConfigs.getByName("debug")
        }
    }

Expected fix

it's not clear to me if the missing debug section is a problem for the flavor system or the tutorial just needs a wording update

Additional context

Flutter 3.32.6

I would like to fix this problem.

• I will try and fix this problem on docs.flutter.dev.
