SecurityException: Unknown calling package name 'com.google.android.gms' in Flutter

Question

I'm encountering the following error in my Flutter project (Flutter 3.27.1, Java 17) while using Google Maps and Firebase:

E/GoogleApiManager( 9509): Failed to get service from broker.

1. I generated a new Google Maps API key and updated it in the AndroidManifest.xml file, but the same error persists.

Based on stackoverflow suggestions, I installed the Google Repository and Google Play Services via the Android Studio SDK Manager (Tools > SDK Manager > SDK Tools). However, the issue still persists.
