Android Studio Electric Eel refuses to compile build file google_maps_flutter_android-2.4.2, throws exception

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• Where: Build file ‘/Users/sam/StudioProjects/flutter/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dartlang.org/google_maps_flutter_android-2.4.2/android/build.gradle’

• What went wrong: Could not compile build file ‘/Users/sam/StudioProjects/flutter/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dartlang.org/google_maps_flutter_android-2.4.2/android/build.gradle’.

Yikes, wth?! I upgraded Android Studio to Electric Eel, the latest stable release, both the dart and Flutter plugins update and now my project doesn’t build. This is not an upgrade!

I’ve tried updating everything in pubspec.yaml, my thinking being perhaps the Googlemap plugin needing updating, well it didn’t.

I tried Googling the error message but the error is monster long, no outcome. I tried abbreviating my Google search! Same.

I tried Terminal > Flutter > Clean. Then getting all the plugins in pubspec.yaml again. No result, error persists 😱

Here’s the appendix to Android Studio console’s complaint above^

> startup failed:
  General error during semantic analysis: Unsupported class file major version 61

Outcome: ALL work halted! 😭 Love some help. Happy to provide more intel.

UPDATE: typing flutter doctor in Terminal produced this:

✗ Unable to find bundled Java version.
• Try updating or re-installing Android Studio.

This is a faulty update! I think it’s a lead.

Following a comment, directing me here, I’ve opened AS
File > Project structure > Project settings > Project
and found it doesn’t have a SDK assigned.

If I try to assign the auto-detected Oracle open JDK version 17.0.2 SDK, it won’t let me save, complaining

SDK ‘Android API 33, extension level 3 Platform’ is invalid. Please
configure internal JDK

I’ve checked my downloads and SDK 13 Tiramisu is present, so I don’t know what that is about.
