Flutter exception Could not resolve com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:16.+

Question

guys

In trying to emulate the application now, the terminal throws an exception and the application won't start:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Could not determine the dependencies of task ':app:processDebugResources'.

I've already tried replacing "jcenter" in * project / android / build.gradle * passing * mavenCentral * in place as follows, as reported here and here, but that didn't fix the problem

repositories {
    google()
    mavenCentral()
    maven {
        url "https://maven.google.com"
    }
}

I emphasize that the project was working normally and this occurred at this time.

I request the kindness of an assistance to solve.

Solution

In an attempt to emulate the application one more time, before displaying the error on the terminal it showed me the following message: "Plugin project :location_web not found. Please update settings.gradle." and I found that in my project the error was caused by the location package, which has a dependency on location_web

Solution That said, until they fix the problem, the solution is not to use the "location" package and replace it with one that doesn't have this location_web dependency. I did it using the "geolocator" package and in my case I needed it to get the geographic coordinates and call another function that returned the address data, looking like this:

On pubspec.yaml:

# location: ^3.0.0
geolocator: '6.2.1'

And I executed command:

flutter pub get

In AndroidManifest files, I added:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION"/>

For what I needed, which was to get the geographic coordinates, I did it as follows using "geolocator", replacing the previous code that used the "location" package:

import 'package:geolocator/geolocator.dart';

Future _obtemCoordenadas() async {
    LocationPermission permissao;
    Position _dadosLocalizacao;

    await Geolocator.requestPermission();

    permissao = await Geolocator.checkPermission();
    if (permissao == LocationPermission.denied) {
      permissao = await Geolocator.requestPermission();
      if (permissao == LocationPermission.denied) {
        return;
      }
    }

    if (permissao == LocationPermission.deniedForever) {
      return;
    }

    if (permissao == LocationPermission.always) {
      _dadosLocalizacao = await Geolocator.getCurrentPosition();
      var latitude = _dadosLocalizacao.latitude;
      var longitude = _dadosLocalizacao.longitude;
      localizacao.latitude = latitude.toString();
      localizacao.longitude = longitude.toString();
    }
  }
