[Solved] No `<meta-data android:name=“flutterEmbedding” android:value=“2″/>` in ”..\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml”

Problem: Trying to run a Flutter application with the flutter run command produces the following error:

No `<meta-data android:name="flutterEmbedding" android:value="2"/>` in   "..\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml"

Solution: The problem is that the AndroidManifest.xml file is lacking a required <meta-data android:name="flutterEmbedding" android:value="2"/> tag. Add it like so:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.coding.informer.simple_material_app">

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
    <meta-data android:name="flutterEmbedding" android:value="2"/>

    <application android:name="${applicationName}" android:label="simple_material_app" android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher">
        <activity android:name=".MainActivity"
                  android:launchMode="singleTop"
                  android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar"
                  android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|keyboard|screenSize|locale|layoutDirection"
                  android:hardwareAccelerated="true"
                  android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>
</manifest>
