Gradle Doctor

Gradle Doctor

This skill makes you an expert at resolving Gradle dependency conflicts, build failures, and configuration errors.

Instructions

1. If an APK build fails (e.g. flutter build apk), capture the exact error output.
2. If the error is a dependency resolution failure (like "Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:debugRuntimeClasspath'"): a. Check android/build.gradle for minSdkVersion and compileSdkVersion. b. Use your web search tool to find the exact Maven package version needed. c. Adjust the versions in pubspec.yaml or android/app/build.gradle.
3. If the error mentions missing SDKs or NDKs, run flutter doctor -v and check the Android toolchain status.
4. For persistent cache issues, you can recommend or run cd android && ./gradlew clean.

When to use

• The Flutter build fails during the Gradle assembly phase.
• There are AndroidX migration or compatibility errors.
• You encounter dependency version mismatch errors between plugins.
