I just updated to Flutter (Channel stable, 3.35.1 and I am no longer able to build my app.
When ever i try to run or build my app minSdk overwrite to default and I receive errors because of it
Expected results
My app to be run and minSdk don't get overwrite
Actual results
Upgrading build.gradle.kts
Running Gradle task 'assembleDebug'...
e: file:///xxxxxx/android/app/build.gradle.kts:30:30: Expecting an element
e: file:///xxxxxx/android/app/build.gradle.kts:30:9: Function invocation 'minSdkVersion(...)' expected
e: file:///xxxxxx/android/app/build.gradle.kts:30:9: None of the following functions can be called with the arguments supplied:
public abstract fun minSdkVersion(minSdkVersion: Int): Unit defined in com.android.build.api.dsl.ApplicationDefaultConfig
public abstract fun minSdkVersion(minSdkVersion: String?): Unit defined in com.android.build.api.dsl.ApplicationDefaultConfig
e: file:///xxxxxx/android/app/build.gradle.kts:30:9: Variable expected
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.I do minSdk = 21 and during the run it goes to minSdkVersion flutter.minSdkVersion hence the error above.
