Gradle build can not resolve all Path_provider dependencies

Question

I was able to add path_provider library to my pubspec.yaml file and I used its functionalities in my code. When I tried to flutter run, I got an gradle build error.

This is the error message:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

My android/build.gradle

buildscript {
repositories {
    google()
    jcenter()
}

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'
  }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
}

rootProject.buildDir = '../build'
subprojects {
    project.buildDir = "${rootProject.buildDir}/${project.name}"
}
subprojects {
    project.evaluationDependsOn(':app')
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

What I tried:

• Tried downgrading and upgrading gradle plugin.

• Tried adding maven repository

  buildscript { repositories { maven { url 'https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2' } jcenter() }

Solution

I solved this issue by doing the following :

1. Upgrading Gradle to version 5.4.1 .
2. Upgrading Gradle plugin version to 3.5.0 .
3. Run the command ./gradlew dependencies in project's android directory which downloaded missing path_provider dependencies.
4. Run flutter clean then flutter run.
