A problem occurred configuring project ':firebase_auth'?

Question

I've been working on a flutter app. Recently I had to re install everything in my pc and ever since then, this error keeps popping up:

Launching lib/main.dart on SM G615F in debug mode... lib/main.dart:1

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong: A problem occurred configuring project ':firebase_auth'.

Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':firebase_auth:classpath'.

I have added all the dependencies necessary:

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter
  cupertino_icons: ^1.0.2
  intl_phone_number_input: ^0.7.0+2
  flutter_spinkit: ^5.1.0
  provider: ^6.0.2
  firebase_core: ^1.15.0
  firebase_auth: ^3.3.16
  firebase_storage: ^10.2.14
  cloud_firestore: ^3.1.13
  shared_preferences: ^2.0.13
  fluttertoast: ^8.0.9
  get: ^4.6.1

Even the necessary lines in both app level and android level build.gradle are present. There doesn't seem to be any solutions present in here for this particular problem so any help will be greatly appreciated.

I tried removing the dependencies that are throwing the error (shared_preferences, intl_phone_number_input, fluttertoast, firebase_auth, firebase_core, cloud_firestore) and it worked. Then I added the dependencies again and reloaded the app without stopping it and it still worked fine. But when I stopped the app and restarted again, it threw the same error.

Answer 1

This was an issue with the latest version of flutter. I was using 2.10.5 before and it got updated when I had to reinstall everything. I downgraded it to an older version and cleared the cache and everything got fixed.
