I am having this issue on mac

Everything was working fine untill i tried to run a flutter code i bought from Codecanyon and started having this issue, which i tried so many fix which i saw online and will list them bellow, but now even the new flutter projects i create now give same issue

Steps:
i have installed java 11 and 16 as well

then tried to change the defaul jdk version using

export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 11.0.17`

and

export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 11)

then when i run java -version on the terminal i get the report bellow

which i believe means i have succefuly changed it (I haved tried using bash, switched to Zsh and now back to bash) but it’s still not working

Also tried to change it via the IDE from some solutions i saw here on stackOverflow but from the android-studio> Prefrences> Build, Execution, Deployment> Gradle the section is not showing until i try the File> Project Structure> Project and select JDK 11

Still not working, even installed the latest version of Android Studio, still didn’t fix the issue, and i had to install the old version again since my emulator stopped working after the update

Have been battling this for some weeks to a month now, have checked multiple solutions here and on github but still can’t get a solution that works

After Trying for weeks what later worked for me was going to Project_File>Android>build.gradle file and changing
```
dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.1.3'
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
    }
```
To:
```
...
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.3'
...
```
and i just run ./gradlew clean build and then run the project, everything now working fine

Thanks All

The current flutter version does not support this project. You can open the Gradle configuration file embedded in the current flutter version to view the Gradle information.

open android>app>build.gradle line 24
- apply from: "$flutterRoot/packages/flutter_tools/gradle/flutter.gradle"
- open terminal run "whereis flutter" you can get flutter install path
- open "$flutterRoot/packages/flutter_tools/gradle/flutter.gradle" file
You will see the gradle version used by the current flutter version and current java compile version
```
buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        /* When bumping, also update ndkVersion above. */
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.0'
    }
}

android {
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
}
```
