Great.
Are you thinking about updating the Android part? The last update was last year, the situation is becoming catastrophic. You are cross-platform, aren't you?
Thank you for reassuring us.

Sorry -- don't understand? What do you mean by "the Android part... situation catastrophic" here? 

We ship quarterly version updates to the stable channel, plus regular hotfixes. We support Android development with every release. If there's something not working for you, the best approach is to file an issue at https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues. 

Thanks! Tim

Hi Tim,

We are able to make changes by ourselves as long as we know how to do or are guided to do so.

Now, let's take an example:
Android needs a minimum of gradle 6.5 to work properly and in a secure way. Flutter Android file indicates a gradle of 5.3. I am not going to point out when was the release of 5.3 but it is not quarterly.

We are able to modify that by ourselves this is the reason why there is no GitHub, nevertheless, a newbie happy with is Flutter IOS app will have quite a surprise when running it on Android devices.

There should be a place somewhere in Flutter, where some clear guidances are given on how to optimized files for both IOS and Android while waiting for some updates such as mentioned 'supported minimum OS Version specified in the Info.plist' or I do not know: let's say similarly prefer API30 in your manifest ...

Yes, Flutter is cross-platform but I have still the feeling that there is some sort of war between IOS and Android. That is very sad, while browsers are at least all chromium mobiles platform are still on the defensive and this after all your efforts to join both IOS and Android communities in the Flutter adventure.

As you note, this is something that Android Studio helps you migrate forward; details are here: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin. 

That said, you're right -- the default template should be migrated forward. We have a pull request outstanding to do that: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/70808

Our team focuses on both iOS and Android, and we want to make the experience great on both popular mobile platforms, so don't hesitate to file bugs where we're missing the mark.

Thank you very much for taking time to answer, hope everything will go well, Gradle, Kotlin migration update ... path ...and this for all the platforms and in all the IDE

Your git shows me how it is 'complicated', it may explain those long silence each time I am growling about Gradle.

We yet have through some gradlew cmd some warmings than some stuff will not cope with Gradle 7 even if 7 is not yet mentioned on the Gradle release site

Anyway, It will be easiest to jump from 6.7 to 7 than from 5.3 to 7 for sure

Courage to your team, thanks for updating

   hai all, 


I had captured the screen of flutter installation and made a video out that and put in youtube.. complete installation took around an hour but with my limiting video editing capabilities, I made that less than 14 minutes(if you fast forward it will be over by 5 minutes)  ..if some one  can check whether I have made any mistakes during installation, that will be great.. The video is available at

@Tim Sneath
Thank you very much, gradle has been updated. I did not expected it to be done so quickly.

You made my day! Thanks again.

N.B.:to have zero error in profile/release/debug mode, I notice that minSdk has to be 19 (KitKat 4.4) due to the new integration_test.

About the new integration_test, I do not know if it is relevant but while running the flutter demo,this is the only red line I have:


[   +1 ms] Note: C:\xxxxx\flutter\packages\integration_test\android\src\main\java\dev\flutter\plugins\integration_test\FlutterTestRunner.java uses or overrides a deprecated API.
[   +2 ms] Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details.
