Quick Fix: 1. Update compileSdkVersion to 33.
2. Check Java version and find compatible gradle version from https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/compatibility.html
3. Update gradle-wrapper.properties with compatible version.
4. Add tool version to dependencies in build.gradle.
5. Find compatible KGP version for Gradle from https://kotlinlang.org/docs/gradle-configure-project.html
6. Update ext.kotlin_version in build.gradle with compatible version.

The Problem:

When building a Flutter project with the command ‘flutter build apk’, an error message is encountered indicating issues with the configuration of the ‘:app:compileDebugRenderscript’ task. Specifically, it mentions the presence of an incorrectly annotated method (‘useAndroidX()’) and a property (‘ndkConfig’) that lacks input or output annotations.

The Solutions:

Solution 1: Update Versions

To resolve this issue, update the following versions in your project:

  1. CompileSdkVersion to 33
  2. Java version to the current version.
  3. Gradle version in gradle-wrapper.properties to match the Java version.
  4. Tool version in build.gradle dependencies (e.g., ‘com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.0’ for Gradle 7.6 version).
  5. Kotlin Gradle Plugin version to the version compatible with your Gradle version.

After these updates, the build process should succeed without the mentioned errors.

Q&A
