I already tried flutter clean, flutter upgrade, reset my laptop and changed in gradle.properties

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1536M  => org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1024M

I was using a simulator devices but now from android studio I can't run the application because they don't appear to me

I also can't run commands in android studio like flutter doctor, flutter clean, pub get, flutter upgrade I can only do it from the terminal

Answer 1

I got exact same problem and fixed it by running

flutter clean

and then

flutter pub get

Answer 2

I just ran into this after upgrading to Android Studio Flamingo (2022.2.1). None of the other suggestions here made any difference. The only things that has worked for me so far is to run Android Studio as Administrator. No idea why that works.
