Execution failed for task ':path_provider_android:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'

Question

I am having this problem with my android studio, so anytime I ran the actual default flutter project in android studio it runs. as soon as I add packages in the pubspec.yaml I get errors. I am trying to run a project, this project has been running so well for sometime now. all of a sudden when I come back to the project and run it I get this weird error. I asked ChatGPT and it said it was a jdk incompatibility problem. this is the error.

    Launching lib\main.dart on AOSP on IA Emulator in debug mode...
    Running Gradle task 'assembleDebug'...

this is what my app/build.gradile looks like;

    plugins {
        id "com.android.application"
        id "kotlin-android"
        // The Flutter Gradle Plugin must be applied after the Android and Kotlin Gradle plugins.
        id "dev.flutter.flutter-gradle-plugin"
    }
    
    android {
        namespace = "com.example.new_flutter"
        compileSdk = flutter.compileSdkVersion
        ndkVersion = flutter.ndkVersion
    
        compileOptions {
            sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
            targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8

                // Signing with the debug keys for now, so `flutter run --release` works.
                signingConfig = signingConfigs.debug
            }
        }

Since last 5 days I have the same issue. It is not related to android studio. I have this issue in VS code as well. Could you find a solution. I couldn't yet. While adding some packages this issue occurs. e.g. give, google fonts, etc.

I tried creating a new project, and when adding some packages this issue occurs even for counter app.
