Downgrading to 6.13.0+2 resolved the issue

Hi @Yonkokilasi,
Your Java version is 11 when the minimum required version starts 6.15.1 is Java 17

[JosephusZhou]

It seems that upgrading to Java17 is an irrational behavior and does not consider development compatibility.

[pedroculque]

I agree with @JosephusZhou , how does this make sense? Will you force all flutter projects to do this migration? I have the same problem

[pazlavi]

AGP v8 required Java 17 as shown here .

same issue here, did someone solve this error?

[salmafathi]

download java 17
run this command :
flutter config --jdk-dir "your java path dir"
for me was :
flutter config --jdk-dir "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-17"

To ensure your app remains available on the Google Play Store, it’s essential to update your targetSdkVersion to meet Google’s latest requirements. As of August 31, 2024, new apps and updates must target at least Android 14 (API level 34). Target API level requirements for Google Play apps. 

Aligning with this requirement often necessitates using a compatible Java Development Kit (JDK) version. For instance, the Android Gradle Plugin version 8.x requires JDK 17. Java versions in Android builds

Therefore, to comply with these standards and ensure compatibility, we’ve updated the Java version to 17 in our Flutter plugin. This update not only meets Google’s policies but also enhances security and performance for your app.

For detailed information, please refer to the following resources:
• Meet Google Play’s target API level requirement
• Java versions in Android builds
