From my research I found that i might need to upgrade to AndroidX. I followed this link to upgrade my android. However i still got the same errors when trying to build and run the app.

I am using InteliJ as my IDE with a flutter project and my pubspec.yaml is as follows:

name: smart_diet_flutter
description: A new Flutter project.

# The following defines the version and build number for your application.
# A version number is three numbers separated by dots, like 1.2.43
# followed by an optional build number separated by a +.
# Both the version and the builder number may be overridden in flutter
# build by specifying --build-name and --build-number, respectively.
# Read more about versioning at semver.org.
version: 1.0.0+1

environment:
  sdk: ">=2.0.0-dev.68.0 <3.0.0"

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter

  # The following adds the Cupertino Icons font to your application.
  # Use with the CupertinoIcons class for iOS style icons.
  cupertino_icons: ^0.1.2
  firebase_auth: 0.8.0
  firebase_database: 1.1.0+1

dev_dependencies:
  flutter_test:
    sdk: flutter


# For information on the generic Dart part of this file, see the
# following page: https://www.dartlang.org/tools/pub/pubspec

# The following section is specific to Flutter.
flutter:

  # The following line ensures that the Material Icons font is
  # included with your application, so that you can use the icons in
  # the material Icons class.
  uses-material-design: true

  # To add assets to your application, add an assets section, like this:
  # assets:
  #  - images/a_dot_burr.jpeg
  #  - images/a_dot_ham.jpeg

  # An image asset can refer to one or more resolution-specific "variants", see
  # https://flutter.io/assets-and-images/#resolution-aware.

  # For details regarding adding assets from package dependencies, see
  # https://flutter.io/assets-and-images/#from-packages

  # To add custom fonts to your application, add a fonts section here,
  # in this "flutter" section. Each entry in this list should have a
  # "family" key with the font family name, and a "fonts" key with a
  # list giving the asset and other descriptors for the font. For
  # example:
  # fonts:
  #   - family: Schyler
  #     fonts:
  #       - asset: fonts/Schyler-Regular.ttf
  #       - asset: fonts/Schyler-Italic.ttf
  #         style: italic
  #   - family: Trajan Pro
  #     fonts:
  #       - asset: fonts/TrajanPro.ttf

Checkout that your gradle plugin is compatible with your gradle version.

https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin#updating-gradle

I have faced the same error when my gradle version was 6.6.1 while my plugin was 4.0.2. Updating the plugin to 4.1.0 solved it for me.

The gradle plugin version is located on android/build.gradle as classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:{your version}' on the dependencies.
The gradle version is located on android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties under distributionUrl.

Hopes it will help other.

You either need to migrate to AndroidX or downgrade to the plugin versions that are compatible with pre-AndroidX.

Follow https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/27106 about issues related to the migration (see also https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/27146, https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/27128 for the same error output as in your question)

I started facing this issue as soon as I updated to Flutter Channel beta, 1.19.0-4.3.pre

For me, using AndroidX didn't help (I was already using AndroidX)

I had to upgrade the versions of

 firebase_auth to 0.16.1 from 0.15.3
 firebase_messaging to 6.0.16 from 6.0.15

FYI, following is my environment:

Doctor summary (to see all details, run flutter doctor -v):
[✓] Flutter (Channel beta, 1.19.0-4.3.pre, on Mac OS X 10.15.5 19F101, locale en-IN)
 
[✓] Android toolchain - develop for Android devices (Android SDK version 29.0.3)
[✓] Xcode - develop for iOS and macOS (Xcode 11.1)
[✓] Android Studio (version 4.0)
[✓] Connected device (1 available)

• No issues found!

Solution:

Execution failed for task ':firebase_core:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'. Could not create service of type UserHomeScopedCompileCaches using UserHomeScopeServices.createCompileCaches().

I encountered the same errors and here's how I resolved them:

Step 1:
Change the version of the com.android.application plugin.

In your_project/android/setting.gradle

And change

From:

id "com.android.application" version "8.1.0" apply false

To:

id "com.android.application" version "8.3.2" apply false

Step 2:
Update the distributionUrl in your gradle-wrapper.properties file.

In your_project/android/gradle/gradle-wrapper.properties

And change

Form:

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.3-all.zip

To:

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.4-all.zip

Final Steps:

Run flutter clean
Run flutter pub get
Run flutter run

Hope my answer is helpful. ☕

The Solution that works for me and makes the most sense CLEAN CACHE after following the Android X Migration guidelines

Enter Command below

--> flutter packages pub cache clean
