Same issue with AGP 8.14.3 and 9.0.0.

[brianquinlan]

@asaarnak It looks like the issue has been fixed in Android Gradle Plugin 8.13.0-alpha01

I'm not an Android expert - should we just wait until AGP 8.13 is released or do we need to do something here?

[Reprevise]

The compileSdkVersion for cronet_http is pretty low (31). Latest flutter stable sets it to 36 out of the box. It doesn't need to go that high, but it probably should be raised to at least 34.

[fluttersiast]

Do anyone know workaround with AGP 8.13.0+?

The compileSdkVersion for cronet_http is pretty low (31). Latest flutter stable sets it to 36 out of the box. It doesn't need to go that high, but it probably should be raised to at least 34.

Would that resolve the issue? I'd love to see a reproduction (perhaps by modifying https://github.com/dart-lang/http/blob/master/.github/workflows/cronet.yml) or PR suggesting a fix (please @-mention me if you create a PR).
