I am having Kotlin code for Android and Kotlin version is

ext.kotlin_version = '1.5.20'

I have this in my dependencies :

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.1'

I get an error when running flutter run --release, but flutter run works fine.

Exception: Unsupported Android Plugin version: 4.2.1.

I have tried other Answers from SO like updating the JVM version for Kotlin target VM (I set it to 11 from 8) .

I also have distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.7.1-all.zip in gradle-wrapper.properties.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I had a similar problem when building with flutter build apk --flavor my_flavor.
I had configured ABI splits in my app build.gradle, and removing them solved the issue since they weren't necessary in my case.

See whether there is something like below in your app build.gradle (app/src/build.gradle)

    productFlavors {
        app_dev {
            dimension "version"
            applicationIdSuffix ".dev"
        }
        app_stg {
            signingConfig signingConfigs.debug
            dimension "version"
            applicationIdSuffix ".stg"
        }
        app_prod {
            signingConfig signingConfigs.release
            dimension "version"
        }
    }

If it does have something like that, then you need to go to Run -> Edit Configuration -> Pick your main.dart on left side -> Inside 'Build flavor' put "app_dev" inside the textbox (The string can be anything and it depends on what's inside your productFlavors { ... })

This helped me solve my issue.
