If you can, attach any logs from Android Studio or DevTools.

Thanks for the report @pndychrg! Does it crash when you open any of the other DevTools panels, or only the Inspector? Thanks!

DevTools Wont Give You Any Logs But Android Studio Does ?

[pndychrg]

@elliette, Only flutter inspector is causing issues

I have the same issue with only the Dart and Flutter (latest version) plugin installed, I'm also on Linux (Fedora)

Please update to the latest Flutter SDK stable or beta, as well as the Flutter IJ plugin and confirm that the issue is still happening. Is it just that a restart is required, or that DevTools doesn't work at all. Any logs would be helpful.

I've tried the latest versions of the Flutter SDK on stable and beta. Currently on

Flutter 3.32.0-0.1.pre • channel beta • https://github.com/flutter/flutter.git
Framework • revision eeb81b9a8a (4 days ago) • 2025-04-11 12:11:52 -0700
Engine • revision 72ee26e314 (6 days ago) • 2025-04-09 15:57:49 -0700
Tools • Dart 3.8.0 (build 3.8.0-278.1.beta) • DevTools 2.45.0

Opening any Flutter plugin page (Inspector, DevTools, DevTools Extensions and Deep Links) shows "Nothing to show" and then immediately freezes the IDE, crashing a few seconds later. So they are unusable for me :/
I've attached the Android Studio crash report below. Are there any more logs I can provide?

Also wanted to confirm that these tools do work for me in VS Code

Loaded up this morning, thought to check the plugin version of Flutter in my AS installation. It was at 83.0.4 and now, after the update, it's at 83.0.1 and the inspector is working? So rollback for the win?

Tried to edit/delete this comment. I was still on Ladybug when I tried to upgrade and didn't realize it. Ladybug is still fine. Upgraded the Flutter plugin to 85.2.3, but still having the same issue.
