The official Flutter documentation can be found here.

moved from Mac M1 to Mac M4. . ran into gradle issue on compile in VS Code using Flutter

I had a gradle problem with my M1 few months ago when I update Android Studio code. I stumbled a week trying all the suggestions. Finally got it work. to compile. I taking a flutter Udemy course. so learning that and manage a new dev environment.

I migrated my M1 Macbook pro to a M4 Macbook pro few days ago. I updated Android Studio by mistake at that time. So now my VS IDE is failing on gradle build on my new M4 mac. When I try to compile a simple Flutter app compiles fine on M1.

I check my M1
My android studio whos grade JDK jbr-17. 17.0.12 distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.3-all.zip

My Mac M4 i have tried to setup same versions. but still getting error on compile for gradle.

This error:

Launching lib/main.dart on sdk gphone64 arm64 in debug mode…
Warning: SDK processing. This version only understands SDK XML versions up to 3 but an SDK XML file of version 4 was encountered. This can happen if you use versions of Android Studio and the command-line tools that were released at different times.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

BUILD FAILED in 18s
Error: Gradle task assembleDebug failed with exit code 1

Exited (1).

I have tried flutter clean to clear cache.

Questions
I check the gradle site for the table that shows compatable java and gradle versions. I have tried setting to match but my M4 still errors on gradle build.

Short of wiping out my Dev environment and rebuild it. not a big issue since I do have everything on github. But really want to learn why this is happening to self fix in future.

thanks

    I spent the last two days trying to downgreade Android Studio JDK listed in FLutter Doctor as jdk ver 21. I ended up. Deleting Android Studio 100% env. Reinstall. I have jdk 17 selected in Android gradle wrapper. I have sdk jdk 17 selected for all environments on my mac.

    I was able to finally compile past gradle errors today for first time.

    My issue was Flutter Doctor --verbose was showing Androids jdk versions as:

    Application finished. bsanderson@Bill-M4-Macbook meals2 % flutter doctor --verbose [✓] Flutter (Channel stable, 3.24.5, on macOS 15.1 24B2082 darwin-arm64, locale en-US) • Flutter version 3.24.5 on channel stable at /Users/bsanderson/Development/flutter • Upstream repository https://github.com/flutter/flutter.git • Framework revision dec2ee5c1f (6 days ago), 2024-11-13 11:13:06 -0800 • Engine revision a18df97ca5 • Dart version 3.5.4 • DevTools version 2.37.3

    Which was throwing my into a tial spin try to get version jdk 17 to be used since flutter says it not support jdk 21 yet.

    I am able to compile test code in flutter android app using VS Code IDE now. yet flutter doctor --verbose is showing jdk 21 for Android config.

    do not know why this is the case.

    hope this help someone else...

    Update com.android.application plugin to version 8.3.2 in projectroot/android/settings.gradle file.

    If you can’t find this file you can create one at root of Android folder of Flutter project and copy paste below content:

    pluginManagement {
    def flutterSdkPath = {
        def properties = new Properties()
        file("local.properties").withInputStream { properties.load(it) }
        def flutterSdkPath = properties.getProperty("flutter.sdk")
        assert flutterSdkPath != null, "flutter.sdk not set in local.properties"
        return flutterSdkPath
    }()

includeBuild("$flutterSdkPath/packages/flutter_tools/gradle")

repositories {
    google()
    mavenCentral()
    gradlePluginPortal()
    }
    }

plugins {
    id "dev.flutter.flutter-plugin-loader" version "1.0.0"
    id "com.android.application" version "8.3.2" apply false
    id "org.jetbrains.kotlin.android" version "2.0.21" apply false
}

include ":app"
