Retrying to download...

I have active Internet connection. I also downloaded the gradle 6.4.1 and extracted it in android-studio >> plugins, This what is been shown on gradle-wrapper.properties :

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME distributionPath=wrapper/dists zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME zipStorePath=wrapper/dists distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.6.2-all.zip*

I use Ubuntu 18.04.

Solution 1

Do follow some steps:

1. Go to flutter_app => android => gradle => wrapper directory
2. Delete gradle-wrapper.jar file
3. Open and edit gradle-wrapper.properties file
4. Change distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-x.x.x-all.zip to gradle-7.2-all.zip or latest
5. On terminal use flutter run command

Solution 4

The error is related to Gradle, this is usually due to corrupt or incomplete Gradle setup Go to the root directory and locate the hidden .gradle folder and delete it. For mac, open the terminal and execute

cd ~ rm -rf .gradle
