Question

I was running a Flutter project on android studio code and when I run the code, I get this error message:

Launching lib\main.dart on sdk gphone x86 arm in debug mode...

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':cloud_firestore:parseDebugLocalResources'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':cloud_firestore:androidApis'.
   > Failed to transform android.jar to match attributes {artifactType=android-platform-attr, org.gradle.libraryelements=jar, org.gradle.usage=java-r
untime}.
      > Execution failed for PlatformAttrTransform: C:\Users\aayus\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platforms\android-29\android.jar.

This error has been coming for a quite a few days now and I haven't found a proper solution Can someone help with this? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Try this on build.gradle

minSdkVersion 16
compiledSdkVersion 28
targetSdkVersion 29

Answer 2

I had this same problem but with SDK API 31.

Well, if you enter the error message directory.

"C:\Users\<yourUserName>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platforms\android-29\"

android-29

This error happens due to the absence of the "android" file (Executable Jar File)

You will just have to go to android studio, remove the SDK that is giving error and install again

android-studio
