Whenever I try to run flutter project on android emulator I get this error:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:dexBuilderDebug'.
> There were multiple failures while executing work items
> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.dexing.DexWorkAction
> Failed to process: project_path/android/app/build/intermediates/transforms/APMSPlugin/debug/246, project_path/android/app/build/intermediates/transforms/APMSPlugin/debug/247
and many more like this.
The logs also contain many:
Caused by: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.android.tools.r8.kotlin.H
and
Caused by: [CIRCULAR REFERENCE: com.android.tools.r8.kotlin.H]

I found the solution thanks to ChatGPT, just adding
minifyEnabled true
to buildTypes solved the issue, here is the code:Run the following commands in your project directory to clean and rebuild the project:
Update Gradle Version:
Ensure that you are using a compatible version of Gradle.
Open the android/build.gradle file and update the gradle version. For example:
classpath ‘com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.0’
Update Android Gradle Plugin:
implementation ‘com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.0’
