Hi i am new to flutter and i tried to clone a github repo and this is the error i cant seem to solve on my own.
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
- What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ‘:app:checkDebugAarMetadata’.
A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.CheckAarMetadataWorkAction
One or more issues found when checking AAR metadata values:
The minCompileSdk (31) specified in a

Open the
build.gradle
file on android/app folder and set the compileSdkVersion & targetSdkVersion to31
and set the minSdkVersion to21
so that it would be compatible to older versions of android.Do a flutter clean just to be safe before rebuilding the app.
Another quick solution that’s worth trying (doesn’t work every time, but there’s no harm in trying) is to run the command:
in the terminal and then try rerunning the project.
