Flutter Android set compileSdkVersion in local.properties file

If I set compileSdkVersion 33 in build.gradle, it's ok. But it's kind of hard code, so I try to set it in local.properties file.

As I already set flutter.minSdkVersion=23 in that file, I think flutter.compileSdkVersion=33 works the same, but it's not.

Details:

local.properties file:

flutter.compileSdkVersion=33

build.gradle file:

def flutterCompileSdkVersion = localProperties.getProperty('flutter.compileSdkVersion')
if (flutterCompileSdkVersion == null) {
    flutterCompileSdkVersion = flutter.compileSdkVersion
}

...

compileSdkVersion flutterCompileSdkVersion // error here
compileSdkVersion 33 // this works

Error message:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Script '/Users/vietstone-ng/Library/flutter/packages/flutter_tools/gradle/flutter.gradle' line: 461

Is there anyway to set compileSdkVersion inside local.properties file?

I was able to set it using local.properties this way:

// in YourProject/android/app/build.gradle
...
android {  
    compileSdkVersion localProperties.getProperty('flutter.compileSdkVersion').toInteger()
    ...
}

The following did not work

  android {
    compileSdkVersion flutter.compileSdkVersion
    ...
