How to update minSdkVersion in flutter updated 2.8?

Question

Before updating to Flutter 2.8

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.kim.app"
    minSdkVersion 16
    targetSdkVersion 30
    versionCode flutterVersionCode.toInteger()
    versionName flutterVersionName
    multiDexEnabled true
}

After updating to Flutter 2.8:

defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.app"
        minSdkVersion flutter.minSdkVersion
        targetSdkVersion flutter.targetSdkVersion
        versionCode flutterVersionCode.toInteger()
        versionName flutterVersionName
    }

How can I update minSdkVersion higher? I cannot find the target "flutter.minSdkVersion" variable anywhere.

Answer 1

Go to android/local.properties

Add the following ie define the versions

• flutter.minSdkVersion=21
• flutter.targetSdkVersion=30
• flutter.compileSdkVersion=30

Once done goto android/app/build.gradle and add the following

minSdkVersion localProperties.getProperty('flutter.minSdkVersion').toInteger()

targetSdkVersion localProperties.getProperty('flutter.targetSdkVersion').toInteger()

Then goto android/build.gradle

Update the Kotlin version

ext.kotlin_version = '1.6.0'
