Flutter UI not appearing when running without debug mode

I’m encountering a strange issue with my Flutter app. When I run the app in debug mode, everything works as expected and the UI is visible. However, when I run the app in non-debug mode (without debugging), the UI doesn’t show up on the screen.

Here’s what happens:

• The app seems to be running because I can interact with elements on the screen.
• For example, I can press buttons, and they give feedback (e.g., button press animation).
• The keyboard animation also appears when I focus on a text field.

But the actual UI content (text, buttons, etc.) doesn’t render on the screen.

I’ve attached a screenshot of the current screen behavior for reference:

Has anyone experienced something like this before or have any ideas on what could be causing this issue? I’ve tried restarting the emulator and ensuring everything is up to date, but the issue persists.
