Flutter Build Failing ( Android Transforming Activity failed)

I am getting this build error. I have done gradle cache rebuild, flutter clean and pub get but still no progress. My application uses flutter_simple_Edge_detetion as available here. Since the author is not supporting the package further I am using dart version 2.10.5 and flutter version 3.7.1.

I know that this is a dependency issue as stated in this Stack Overflow question. However the answer is not very much descriptive and clear. This is my error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

I have tried cleaning gradle cache, updated my flutter version from 3.3.9 to 3.2.1 but can't seem to figure out how to solve this issue. Any more information required then please tell.

Any answer will be deeply appreciated🙏

Solution

  • The error was due to my dependencies in my flutter project. Specifically, when I observed the pubspeck.lock file, then there was an image_picker_android package. Due to the version 0.8.6+15, the flutter.dev team had upgraded the androidx.activity from 1.6.1 to 1.7.0, as you can see here.

    So to sum it up, I downgraded this dependency, and changed some other dependencies' versions and the error is gone now.

    Note that there were other dependencies too which were causing an error but not the specific error which I posted in the question. Happy coding!
