Shared preferences in flutter giving error on pub get

I started getting this error when adding shared preferences in a flutter app. It was working before and now I get

Because <app_name> depends on shared_preferences >=0.4.0 which requires Flutter SDK version >=0.1.4 <2.0.0, version solving failed.
pub upgrade failed (1; Because <app_name> depends on shared_preferences >=0.4.0 which requires Flutter SDK version >=0.1.4 <2.0.0, version solving failed.)
    exit code 1

Here is the relevant part of my pubspec.yaml

environment:
  sdk: ">=2.7.0 <3.0.0"

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter
  http: "0.12.2"
  progress_dialog: ^1.2.4
  shared_preferences: ^0.5.12

I am new to flutter, and can't figure it out. I know that it was working before and it suddenly started giving this error.

had a similar problem, I changed the shared_preference to the latest version, as well as the path_provider obtained from the flutter pub site. that solved my issue

It seems like your flutter sdk is not updated. You would have to update it by running this command in terminal/cmd:

flutter upgrade

Here's a guide on how to upgrade your flutter sdk version: https://flutter.dev/docs/development/tools/sdk/upgrading

It seems like you use an old package, which depends on shared_preferences: ^ 0.4.0 and sdk version lower than 2.0.0. Neither http nor progress_dialog depends on shared_preferences. If you don't use other packages in your app, let me know, because it is weird. Otherwise (if you use more packages that you listed in the question) just use dependency_overrides to override dependencies

environment:
  sdk: ">=2.7.0 <3.0.0"

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter
  http: "0.12.2"
  progress_dialog: ^1.2.4
  shared_preferences: ^0.5.12

dependency_overrides:
  shared_preferences: ^0.5.12
