I am trying to build an app. I am using flutter as the framework and VS Code as my IDE. I also have an android emulator installed via android studio. I am trying to implement authentication. If i run my app it opens in the emulator and works just fine. Now i want to test if a user stays logged in when the app is closed (not running in the background) and reopened. However if i close the app in the android emulator, the whole process stops and there is no icon of my app on the home screen with which i could restart it. I have to "run and debug" again in VS Code to restart the process. Is there any way to start the app again via the emulator phone?

I updated the emulator and the flutter package, i changed emulator devices. Did not solve the problem.

Because when your app is disconnected from debug - you can use hot restart its consider as app is kill and open again - here having a problem with flutter if you disconnect from debug your all assets will be remove from entire app. Another option - if you want to test your app then make release app and installed in physical device

You can try to run your app from VS Code itself.

Use this bottom Menu button to launch emulator:

Select your Emulator from listed / Create a new one:
