"flutter run" starts the app but no logs / hot reload / debug output anymore
07:14 17 Jan 2026

I’m pretty new to Flutter and I’ve been working on a project for about 3 months. Everything was working fine until today.

Normally, when I run flutter run, Flutter auto-detects my physical device (Honor phone with USB debugging enabled), launches the app, and I can see logs, errors, and print statements in the terminal whenever I tap the screen of my phone inside the flutter project. Hot reload (r) and hot restart (R) also work as expected, and I can see output when I interact with the app.

But now, something strange is happening. The app does launch successfully on my phone, but after that, on terminal I only can see this (once flutter run):

Launching lib/main.dart on LGN LX2 in debug mode...

Running Gradle task 'assembleDebug'... 8.1s

✓ Built build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app-debug.apk

Installing build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app-debug.apk... 9.0s

and doesn't show output / error printed whenever I interact the app on my phone and hot reload / restart is not working too if I tap r or shift r on my keyboard.

Please help guys :), thank you.
