How to deal with Flutter release mode 0x0 error?

I am getting this error in release mode only: "The following ArgumentError was thrown during performLayout(): Invalid argument(s): 0.0".

I have done some searching and got the explanation for this error here: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/5259.

Issue 5259 is resolved in this way: "We should force developers to consider those cases. Otherwise we'll have to slow down app launch to ensure that the width and height are always available at startup."

However, I am new to Flutter and I am not finding any information on how developers need to consider these cases. Do I need to get the width and height of the device before my homepage loads? Do I have to delay page loading?

I had an animation which I disabled, but the error remains, so the problem seems to arise from rendering a simple gridview.

Here is some code sample:

Main:

    void main() {
  SystemChrome.setPreferredOrientations([DeviceOrientation.portraitUp])
      .then((_) {
    runApp(StatusStream(child: MyApp()));
  });
}

class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  State<StatefulWidget> createState() {
    return _MyAppState();
  }
}

class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
        debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
        theme: ThemeData(primarySwatch: Colors.blueGrey),
        home: HomePage());
  }
}

Homepage:

    class HomePage extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text('Easy DND'),
      ),
      body: GridView.count(
        crossAxisCount: 2,
        childAspectRatio: 1.0,
        padding: const EdgeInsets.all(15.0),
        mainAxisSpacing: 4.0,
        crossAxisSpacing: 4.0,
        children: <Widget>[
          CardOne(),
          CardTwo(),
          CardThree(),
          CardFour(),

        ],
      ),
    );
  }
}
