Description
Steps to reproduce
- Create a new Flutter project using
flutter create test_flutter - Open the project in Android Studio
- Attempt to build or sync the Android project (e.g.
flutter build apk --release) - Observe failure during Gradle sync due to unresolved dependency
Expected results
The project should build successfully with the default configuration and toolchain provided by the latest version of Android Studio.
Actual results
Flutter fails to build Android project due to an unresolved version of the Android Gradle Plugin (AGP). Error points to a missing gradle-8.4.0.pom file during project sync.
Build fails with the following error:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
- Where:
Settings file '/home/user/test_flutter/android/settings.gradle.kts' line: 19
- What went wrong:
Error resolving plugin [id: 'dev.flutter.flutter-plugin-loader', version: '1.0.0']
> A problem occurred configuring project ':gradle'.
Could not resolve all artifacts for configuration 'classpath'.
Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.4.0.
Searched in the following locations:
- https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/com/android/tools/build/gradle/8.4.0/gradle-8.4.0.pom
Required by:
project :gradle
>
- Try:
> If the artifact you are trying to retrieve can be found in the repository but without metadata in 'Maven POM' format, you need to adjust the 'metadataSources { ... }' of the repository declaration.
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace.
Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
Run with --scan to get full insights.
