Hi,
Since a few days my vscode debugging (ui click on green arrow) doesn't work anymore. When I start flutter with chrome the application shows up for milliseconds and then disappears. There are no errors displayed in the logs. When I reload the page in chrome (F5) the application shows up again.
When using Android Studio the debugging works as it should.
When add --release to the launch.json it works as expected.

Things I have tried and didn't fix it:

reverted my code to a month ago to see if it was a code mistake
reverted flutter vscode extension version to months ago
deleted vscode cache /Library/Application Support/Code/Cache & /Library/Application Support/Code/CachedData
reverted flutter to stable 2.2.2
Created a new flutter application with flutter create but vscode debugs normal
Switch to flutter master channel

How i fixed it

After downgrading vscode dart extension from 3.24.2 to 3.23.1 it worked again. I guess there must be a problem in the new dart extension version.

Note:

I always had an issue with hot reload since upgrading to null safety months ago. Whenever I try to hot reload(Android studio & vscode), the application disappears and the ios & android simulator goes blank/white screen. Might be connected to this issue might not. I didn't file an issue for that yet. I have searched a long time for a solution to this but couldn't find any

`flutter analyze`

No Issues found

`flutter doctor -v`
