App crashing in release for Bar chart graphs after upgrading to flutter 2.8.1

Our app uses fl_chart for drawing line and bar graphs, the app was working fine for the code that we have written for displaying bar graphs on the flutter prior to version 2.8 but after upgrading to version 2.8.0 then 2.8.1 app is crashing when we try to visit pages where we are displaying the bar graphs. This only happens in a release build and the app works fine in debug mode. We have firebase crashlytics in place but nothing is showing in the logs this is only happening in the release build and also there are no logs reported when I try to run the app in release mode with debug true in the android studio at app crash.

Below is the code snippet for the bar graph
```dart
Container(
padding: const EdgeInsets.only(top: 15),
margin: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 20, vertical: 25),
height: width * 0.8,
width: width,
child: BarChart(
BarChartData(
alignment: BarChartAlignment.spaceAround,
borderData: FlBorderData(
show: minY >= 0 ? true : false,
border: const Border(
bottom: BorderSide(
color: Color.fromRGBO(238, 238, 238, 1),
),
),
),
titlesData: FlTitlesData(
leftTitles: SideTitles(showTitles: false),
rightTitles: SideTitles(showTitles: false),
topTitles: SideTitles(showTitles: false),
bottomTitles: SideTitles(
showTitles: true,
margin: 15,
getTitles: (double id) => xaxis
.firstWhere((data) => data.index - 1 == id.toInt())
.year,
getTextStyles: (context, value) => const TextStyle(
fontSize: 12,
color: inputTextColor,
),
),
),
gridData: FlGridData(
drawVerticalLine: false,
drawHorizontalLine: minY < 0 ? true : false,
checkToShowHorizontalLine: (value) => value == 0,
getDrawingHorizontalLine: (value) {
return FlLine(
color: const Color.fromRGBO(238, 238, 238, 1),
);
},
),
barTouchData: BarTouchData(
enabled: true,
touchTooltipData: BarTouchTooltipData(
tooltipBgColor: primaryColor,
tooltipRoundedRadius: 2,
tooltipPadding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(
horizontal: 10,
vertical: 5,
),
fitInsideHorizontally: true,
fitInsideVertically: true,
getTooltipItem: (group, groupIndex, rod, rodIndex) {
String date = xaxis[groupIndex].year;
String pre = rodIndex == 0 ? "Sales" : "Profit";
return BarTooltipItem(
"${(rod.y).toStringAsFixed(2)} Cr. - $pre\n",
TextStyle(
fontSize: 10,
color: rodIndex == 0
? inputTextColor
: rod.y > 0
? secondaryColor
: colorDanger,
),
children: [
TextSpan(
text: date,
style: TextStyle(
fontSize: 10,
color: inputTextColor.withOpacity(0.7)),
),
],
);
},
),
),
barGroups: xaxis
.map(
(data) => BarChartGroupData(
x: data.index - 1,
barRods: [
BarChartRodData(
y: rsalesNumbers[data.index - 1],
width: 18,
borderRadius: BorderRadius.zero,
colors: [inputTextColor],
),
BarChartRodData(
y: rprofitNumbers[data.index - 1],
width: 18,
borderRadius: BorderRadius.zero,
colors: [secondaryColor],
)
],
barsSpace: 0,
),
)
.toList(),
),
),
),
```

Start with the provided BarChart snippet and reproduce the crash in a release build using Flutter 2.8.1 and fl_chart 0.40.6. Compare release and debug behavior and inspect available crash output, since the report provides no failure trace. Done means identifying the release-only cause and confirming that the bar graph no longer crashes in a release build.
