android/ folder is required for non-android plugins #46304
Description
Applications that include non-android plugin packages (e.g a web-only plugin package) are failing to build for Android.
This regressed in #45379 and is fixed in #46282
Unfortunately there have been a few releases between the regression and the fix (as of writing v1.12.10 .. v1.13.0 all have the bug).
To make plugins work in the bad build range we're including a temporary android/ folder in non-android plugins. Once the fix makes it to a stable release plugins can bump the minimal Flutter constraint and cleanup their no-op android folder.
Keeping this open until the fix makes it to a stable release.

I think this is fine as long as we only do this to plugins where we use the explicit platform tags to specify that the plug-in does not support Android. That way we can remove the folder again later.

can we do the necessary work to close this issue now since the new stable is released?

@cg021 it should just be reverting flutter-team-archive/plugins#2403 and flutter-team-archive/plugins#2408, then publishing a patch in each of these plugins.

flutter create project generate setting.gradle as below
include ':app'
def localPropertiesFile = new File(rootProject.projectDir, "local.properties")
def properties = new Properties()
assert localPropertiesFile.exists()
localPropertiesFile.withReader("UTF-8") { reader -> properties.load(reader) }
def flutterSdkPath = properties.getProperty("flutter.sdk")
assert flutterSdkPath != null, "flutter.sdk not set in local.properties"
apply from: "$flutterSdkPath/packages/flutter_tools/gradle/app_plugin_loader.gradle"
pls update it with old way like
def flutterProjectRoot = rootProject.projectDir.parentFile.toPath()
def plugins = new Properties()
def pluginsFile = new File(flutterProjectRoot.toFile(), '.flutter-plugins')
if (pluginsFile.exists()) {
pluginsFile.withReader('UTF-8') { reader -> plugins.load(reader) }
}
plugins.each { name, path ->
def pluginDirectory = flutterProjectRoot.resolve(path).resolve('android').toFile()
include ":$name"
project(":$name").projectDir = pluginDirectory
}
