I was facing the same issue. What I did was insert the line multiDexEnabled true in my build.gradle of app. Like this:

    defaultConfig {
        // TODO: Specify your own unique Application ID (https://developer.android.com/studio/build/application-id.html).
        applicationId "com.example"
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 27
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"

        multiDexEnabled true //Insert this line
    }

Try this and run the commands flutter clean, flutter build apk and flutter run. It must solve your problem.
