Android Studio stuck when creating new Flutter project

Question

I have installed Flutter on Windows and checked all is ok using flutter doctor. I imported the Flutter plugin.

Now, when I try to create a new Flutter app via Anroid Studio it never ends. I get "Creating Flutter Project" and that's it.

The message area contains ""C:\Program Files\Flutter\flutter\bin\flutter.bat" --no-color create --template app --description "A new Flutter application." --org anykey.co.il flutter_app4" It seems to be stuck on "Building symbols...".

I even left it on overnight hoping it would finish.

In the end I have to kill it.

Edit: It seems that my flutter.bat file is looping. I tried flutter doctor (who echo set to on) and this is what I get. The last part loops forever.

Had the same issue.

Just run Android Studio/IntelliJ in administrator mode. It works.
