    Switching to the beta and then back to the stable channel fixed the issue for me

    Without additional information, we are unfortunately not sure how to resolve this issue. We are therefore reluctantly going to close this bug for now.
    If you find this problem please file a new issue with the same description, what happens, logs and the output of 'flutter doctor -v'. All system setups can be slightly different so it's always better to open new issues and reference the related ones.
    Thanks for your contribution.

    Ran into this issue today, If this helps

Your flutter checkout has local changes that would be erased by upgrading. If you want to keep these changes, it is recommended that you stash them via "git
stash" or else commit the changes to a local branch. If it is okay to remove local changes, then re-run this command with "--force".
