    <!-- Flutter needs it to communicate with the running application
         to allow setting breakpoints, to provide hot reload, etc.
    -->
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
</manifest>

in main/AndroidManifest.xml

         In most cases you can leave this as-is, but you if you want to provide
         additional functionality it is fine to subclass or reimplement
         FlutterApplication and put your custom class here. -->

</manifest>

What I am doing wrong here?

Answer 1

I was receiving the same error.

My solution to this problem was to update in the grandle build at the application level.

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.0'
classpath 'com.google.gms: google-services: 4.2.0'

My AndroidManifest:

 <meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"
        android:value="ca-app-pub-***********~**********"/>

I hope it helps. regards
