I am trying to run a app which was made in 2021 in flutter in older version packages and sdk version. I have upgraded 90+ packages versions but some got discontinued and I tried upgrading the version of gradle property from older to newer.

How to solve to error

Answer 1

1. clean the project
2. go to "File" -> "Invalidate Caches / Restart" check all boxes and then it will restarted
3. update gradle by going gradle and in top right you will see "open for editing in android studio"
4. search for gradle version and update it but be carefull not above 8 beacause it has some issues just stable ok
5. it will automatically download the required gradle and also change in wrapper the gradle version
