Steps to Reproduce
When I (or one of my teammates) run flutter flutter run (or with the run/debug button on IntelliJ and VSCode) on an AVD or on real devices, the installed version is always behind the newest one and I always need to restart the app or even sometimes flutter clean.
This is a problem especially when the build on the AVD/real device crashes, and the only solution here is to flutter clean, even when I stop the app running and do flutter run again.
The same happens when building and installing production APKs:
When I run flutter build and flutter install, the installed APK isn't updated.
If I run flutter clean, and next, again, flutter build and flutter install, the installed APK is up-to-date.
