Currently when you run your app in profile-mode, the performance panel shows a disabled checkbox that makes it seem like it should be possible to "count widget builds" (see screenshot below) In actuality, "count widget builds" relies on the trackRebuildDirtyWidgets service extension, which uses debugOnRebuildDirtyWidget. This is only available in debug-mode: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/f9e809913240552c391bf31b1cfdbdf410224d8c/packages/flutter/lib/src/widgets/debug.dart#L59 Instead of "To see widget rebuilds for Flutter frames, enable CountWidgetRebuilds", we should remove the checkbox and update the text to say "Rebuild information not available for this frame. Widget rebuild counts are only available when running an app in debug-mode."
