Is it possible to configure a Flutter app with a minimum Android SDK Version such that pub wont try and install dependency that require a higher android sdk version?
I've cloned a few repositories such as https://github.com/stonega/tsacdop and https://github.com/Teifun2/nextcloud-cookbook-flutter.
These have dependencies in pubspec.yaml like
dependencies:
flutter:
sdk: flutter
#for app key
url_launcher: ^6.0.3
When I execute flutter run I end up with error messages like:
Warning: The plugin path_provider_android requires Android SDK version 31.
Warning: The plugin url_launcher_android requires Android SDK version 31.
One or more plugins require a higher Android SDK version.
Fix this issue by adding the following to /projects/sandbox/tsacdop/android/app/build.gradle:
android {
compileSdkVersion 31
...
}
In my case I want to use the app on Android 11 (SDK Version 30), so updating the minimum version isn't the solution I'm looking for. Though I did follow How to change Android minSdkVersion in flutter project, but configuring android/app/src/build.gradle as suggested did not work:
defaultConfig {
// setting these did NOT fix the compile errors
minSdkVersion flutter.minSdkVersion
targetSdkVersion flutter.targetSdkVersion
}
I've tried setting dependency to an explicit version in the pubspec.yaml file, which fixes some of the dependencies as a one-off, but it would be nice to find a universal solution.
Just assign your required SDK versions Like below. this will solve your compile error.
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 31
targetSdkVersion 31
}
or you can change flutter.minSdkVersion and flutter.targetSdkVersion directly from flutter>packages>Flutter_tools>gradle>flutter.gradle https://stackoverflow.com/a/71440248/10936691
