build_tool_runner.dill is removed after running "Profile" or "Release" mode with Android Studio

Hi, I found an issue which is easy to reproduce on a fresh flutter app.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new Flutter project.
2. Add dependency that needs super_native_extensions. In my case I've added super_clipboard: ^0.8.24
3. Run debug on any platform. In my case I ran it on macos with Android Studio: Run -> Run 'main.dart'
4. Run profile mode on the same platform. I ran it on macos with Android Studio: Run -> Flutter Run 'main.dart' in Profile mode
5. Run debug mode again, same as in step (3): Run -> Run 'main.dart'

These steps results into a build failure:

Could not find a command named "bin/build_tool_runner.dill".

I've tried to investigate the root cause of that issue, and so far I found that this issue is related to Android Studio Flutter plugin.
If we replace steps 3, 4, 5 to run via terminal: flutter run -d macos and flutter run -d macos --profile - it works as expected.

However, while running the app through Android Studio in either "Profile" or "Release" mode, it deletes all *.dill files in the build folder.. So subsequent runs in "Debug" or "Profile"/"Release" mode gets broken..

I would appreciate any idea how to fix this properly. I guess we need to modify build scripts to generate dill file again or something (I'm not familiar with the build system here).

The only temporary fix is to run flutter clean and build again from scratch.. but it takes longer to launch.
