Why do I get gray screen after building APK of my Flutter App?

Some days ago I started learning Flutter with the Flutter for Beginners Tutorial by TheNetNinja and today I've finished the course. So, I wanted to build the app we made and install it on my phone and, after I did it from Android Studio Toolbar's Build>Flutter>Build APK and installed the given APK on my phone, it shows only a gray screen.

I've looked for the solution to this on the internet and somewhere I read that it's because the APK wasn't signed. So I tried opening the android folder in a separate window (using Tools>Flutter>Open Android Module in Android Studio) and build a signed APK from there, but it still didn't work.

After that, I've read somewhere else that the gray screen I get is probably the equivalent of the Red error screen that appears when there are some errors in the code (testing the app using Android Studio's Play button and emulator), but the problem is that I don't get any red screen and with the "debug version" my app works fine.

So now I'm here, asking for help and hoping to solve this thing quickly.
