Problem Building APK with Flutter and Gradle (New Project)

Question

I’m working on a Flutter project using VS Code. I created the project with the flutter create command, so it uses Gradle Kotlin DSL (build.gradle.kts) by default.

The main issue is that when I run flutter build apk, I get the following error:

Plugin [id: 'com.android.application'] was not found in any of the following sources:
- Gradle Core Plugins (plugin is not in 'org.gradle' namespace)
- Plugin Repositories (plugin dependency must include a version number for this source)

🔧 Setup Details:

• Flutter: 3.29.0
• Dart: 3.7.0
• Gradle: 8.4
• Kotlin: 1.9.10
• Android SDK: 35.0.1
• Visual Studio Code: 1.97.2
• OS: Windows 11

I’ve updated all dependencies and properly configured the keystore file, but the issue persists.

My Question:
Has anyone else faced this issue? Or does anyone know a solution for this error in new Flutter projects using Gradle Kotlin DSL?
