Plugin with id 'dev.flutter.flutter-plugin-loader' not found

Question

I'm starting to learn flutter development. When I run the project for the first time it gives this error.

I've reinstalled android studio and flutter and dart plugins and create new project .

* What went wrong: Could not apply requested plugin [id: 'dev.flutter.flutter-plugin-loader', version: '1.0.0'] as it does not provide a plugin with id 'dev.flutter.flutter-plugin-loader'. This is caused by an incorrect plugin implementation. Please contact the plugin author(s).

Answer 1

In my case I got the same error after following the migration guide here

The issue was an outdated version of gradle in android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties. After setting the distribution url to 8.5 it worked. Do the change inside visual Studio in order to better handle the gradle migration.

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.5-all.zip

Answer 2

I tried many ways but non worked, so after that I simply followed flutter instructions that say , and I will do it in steps :

first in settings.gradle add below code:-

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 "7.3.0" apply false
    id "org.jetbrains.kotlin.android" version "1.7.10" apply false
}
include ":app"

second in android/build.gradle :- make it simple without any dependancies like this

allprojects {
repositories {
    google()
    mavenCentral()
    }
 }

third add these plugins in app build.gradle

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"
}

hope my answer can help somebody someday
