File picker : unexpected element <queries> found in <manifest>

Whenever I add file picker package to pubspec.yaml file and re run the app I get the following error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.

A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.Workers$ActionFacade Android resource linking failed D:\MY_PROJECTS\flutter_projects\health_app\build\file_picker\intermediates\library_manifest\debug\AndroidManifest.xml:9:5-15:15: AAPT: error: unexpected element found in .

found the solution here

Build is failing with unexpected element found in .

🛠 Possible solution: This is because tag was introduced with new package visibility options for Android 11 and upwards (SDK 30+). Because of that, you need to update your build.gradle with a version that includes this changes. Below is a list of supported gradle options.

3.3.3

3.4.3

3.5.4

3.6.4

4.0.1 Don't forget to update your ditributionUrl in your gradle-wrapper.properties as well. For example, for gradle 4.0.1, you should have:

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.1.1-all.zip
