When I create a new flutter app, I got an error :
> FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* Where:
Build file '/Users/username/flutter-projects/validator_app/android/app/build.gradle' line: 2
* What went wrong:
An exception occurred applying plugin request [id: 'com.android.application']
> Failed to apply plugin 'com.android.internal.application'.
> Android Gradle plugin requires Java 17 to run. You are currently using Java 11.
Your current JDK is located in /Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jbr/Contents/Home
You can try some of the following options:
- changing the IDE settings.
- changing the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
- changing org.gradle.java.home in gradle.properties.
* Try:

Then I installed the related Java version with Brew.
brew install openjdk@17
Also updated path variable in .zshrc bash file.
export JAVA_HOME=/opt/homebrew/opt/openjdk@17/
Then I confirmed the current version with the following:
java -version
Flutter project still not starting and gives the same error.
Finally, I updated my android/gradle.properties file with this line :
org.gradle.java.home=/opt/homebrew/opt/openjdk@17
This worked.
