I tried adding these to gradle.properties

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

enabling multiDex like this in build.gradle:

android {
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        multiDexEnabled true
    }
}

add this line to build.gradle

implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'

all these methods didn't solved my problem: any solution for this problem?


Solution

  • Changing the compileSdkVersion solved my problem.

    I changed compileSdkVersion in android/app/build.gradle

    From

     compileSdkVersion flutter.compileSdkVersion
    

    TO

    compileSdkVersion 33
    

    and the error gone.

    EDIT:

    I got the same issue when i change the compile sdk to 34 which flutter recommended me because i was using url_launcher and video_player which use compileSdk 34. and as i changed the compileSdkVersion to 34 i got the same issue again and that i solved by changing the minSdkVersion to 24 from 21

    Change From

    minSdkVersion 21
    

    To

    minSdkVersion 24
