MissingPluginException:No implementation found for method

Question

My flutter application throws this exception in runtime.

MissingPluginException(No implementation found for method getTemporaryDirectory on channel plugins.flutter.io/path_provider)

main.dart

Directory tp = await getTemporaryDirectory();

File tempFile = File('${tp.path}/flutter.pdf');

ByteData bd = await rootBundle.load('assets/flutter.pdf');

tempFile=await tempFile.writeAsBytes(bd.buffer.asUint8List(), flush: true);

pupspec.yaml

 name: flutterapp
    description: A new Flutter project.

    # The following line prevents the package from being accidentally published to
# pub.dev using `pub publish`. This is preferred for private packages.
publish_to: 'none' # Remove this line if you wish to publish to pub.dev

# The following defines the version and build number for your application.
# A version number is three numbers separated by dots, like 1.2.43
# followed by an optional build number separated by a +.
# Both the version and the builder number may be overridden in flutter
# build by specifying --build-name and --build-number, respectively.
# In Android, build-name is used as versionName while build-number used as versionCode.

# In iOS, build-name is used as CFBundleShortVersionString while build-number used as CFBundleVersion.

environment:

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter
  path_provider: ^1.6.9

  # The following adds the Cupertino Icons font to your application.
  # Use with the CupertinoIcons class for iOS style icons.

# The following section is specific to Flutter.
flutter:

  # The following line ensures that the Material Icons font is
  # included with your application, so that you can use the icons in
  # the material Icons class.
  uses-material-design: true

  # To add assets to your application, add an assets section, like this:
  assets:
    - assets/flutter.pdf
  #   - images/a_dot_ham.jpeg

  # An image asset can refer to one or more resolution-specific "variants", see
  # https://flutter.dev/assets-and-images/#resolution-aware.

  # For details regarding adding assets from package dependencies, see
  # https://flutter.dev/assets-and-images/#from-packages

  # To add custom fonts to your application, add a fonts section here,
  # in this "flutter" section. Each entry in this list should have a
  # "family" key with the font family name, and a "fonts" key with a
  # list giving the asset and other descriptors for the font. For
  # example:
  # fonts:
  #   - family: Schyler
  #     fonts:
  #       - asset: fonts/Schyler-Regular.ttf
  #       - asset: fonts/Schyler-Italic.ttf
  #         style: italic
  #   - family: Trajan Pro
  #     fonts:
  #       - asset: fonts/TrajanPro.ttf
  #       - asset: fonts/TrajanPro_Bold.ttf
  #         weight: 700
  #
  # For details regarding fonts from package dependencies,
  # see https://flutter.dev/custom-fonts/#from-packages

Already done this: 1.flutter clean and flutter run 2.import this packages 1.package:path_provider/path_provider.dart 2.dart:io 3.dart:async

Thanks in Advance

can you please share the codes in which you are getting the errors? and share your pubspec.yaml imported dependencies as well. — Umair Jibran
@Deepika did you get a solution? Running flutter clean and restarting the app worked for me. — F KIng

My similar problem (MissingPluginException) occured only with the release build. It was solved by this line:

proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'),'proguard-rules.pro'

according to https://developer.android.com/studio/build/shrink-code#enable
