\cc @xster @jonahwilliams @blasten I guess we should do this sooner rather than later? Not sure what the testing matrix would look like.
blasten commentedon Aug 3, 2020
+1. Let's bump the version. The net effect is that plugins would be able to use Android 10 features. (note they can do this manually already). For apps, it isn't much of a gain since Flutter app developers usually don't write Java/Kotlin code in the app itself.
xster commentedon Aug 3, 2020
Yes we missed the timeline and should do it now.
@redbrogdon @filiph I think we should also broadcast that API 29 (or higher) is needed to build Flutter
Though most users should already be on 29 if they installed Android Studio this year.

@redbrogdon @filiph actually disregard please. Gradle 2.2+ actually automatically downloads and installs new Android SDKs when not installed manually on the machine via the SDK manager when the compileSdkVersion exceeds the installed versions.

gradle doesn't always cleanly install 29 automatically. Reopening

Good callout from @blasten
We should also change https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/master/packages/flutter_tools/lib/src/android/android_workflow.dart#L28 for a catch either way.

@xster I see that my ticket is closed, but I also see that flutter plugins still have "compileSdkVersion 28".
Should we reopen the ticket?
xster commentedon Aug 22, 2020
Did you mean you created a new plugin on master channel and still have sdk 28 or were you on stable or were looking at an existing plugin?
boskokg commentedon Aug 22, 2020
I am talking about flutter packages.
example: https://github.com/flutter/plugins/blob/master/packages/connectivity/connectivity/android/build.gradle
There is still written "compileSdkVersion 28"

This bug is for updating the new plugin template right? We can create a new bug to update Flutter's existing first party plugins.

Actually, this issue is edited by @jmagman and lost full description what I reported...
Should I write a new issue?
xster commentedon Aug 22, 2020
ya, go ahead. Thanks
