I have a basic Flutter project in Android Studio, but whenever I add any external package (example: google_fonts), the compilation fails with a Gradle error.

Launching lib\main.dart on AOSP on IA Emulator in debug mode...
Running Gradle task 'assembleDebug'...

• flutter
• android-studio
• gradle
• android-gradle-plugin
• flutter-dependencies

• Have you executed flutter pub get after adding the dependency? – Tim Hansen Commented Nov 18, 2024 at 10:53
• Yes sure, and "flutter pub autdated" after it – ussrback Commented Nov 18, 2024 at 11:50
• Can you show us your file pubspec.yaml? – Alexandre B. Commented Nov 19, 2024 at 1:13
• I have added Pubspec.yaml for your review – ussrback Commented Nov 19, 2024 at 7:27

1 Answer 1

I can't reproduce the error in my side by simply adding the google_fonts because I didn't encountered the exception after I add that plugin to my pubspec.yaml (i.e., built successful).

So I've decided to represent to you my configurations.

Under the gradle-wrapper.properties:

distributionUrl=https://services.gradle./distributions/gradle-8.10.2-bin.zip, or use the latest one, or if necessary, downgrade it. Here is the reference

TIPS:

I also do this way to update the distributionUrl,

PS: C:\to_your_project_directory> cd android

PS: C:\to_your_project_directory\android> .\gradlew clean

PS: C:\to_your_project_directory\android> ./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version version_here(x.x.x) --distribution-type all

or

PS: C:\to_your_project_directory\android> ./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version version_here(x.x.x)

or

PS: C:\to_your_project_directory\android> ./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version latest

Under the settings.gradle:

id ".jetbrains.kotlin.android" version "2.0.21" apply false //if necessary, downgrade it. Here is the reference

Under the android\build.gradle:

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '2.0.21' //if necessary, downgrade it.
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath ".jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
    }
}

Also, consider this compatibility matrix

Update:

Please use these approaches if necessary:

In your Android Studio, Go to File > Invalidate Caches

Then you can do some troubleshooting practices:

PS: C:\to_your_project_directory> flutter clean

PS: C:\to_your_project_directory> flutter pub get

PS: C:\to_your_project_directory> flutter pub cache repair

PS: C:\to_your_project_directory> cd android

PS: C:\to_your_project_directory\android> .\gradlew clean

Additionals:

PS: C:\to_your_project_directory\android> ./gradlew build --stacktrace --info

To see what plugins or packages introduces the issues

NOTE:

The goal is to make sure that after you configure build.gradle, gradle-wrapper.properties, etc. You also clean the caches, then rebuild them.

I hope it helps!
