Flutter run error : You have not accepted the license agreements

Question

I'm developing android and ios app with Google flutter.
when I add a new dependency like shared_preferences to pubspec.yaml and then execute flutter run in terminal, I got this error:

What went wrong: A problem occurred configuring project ':shared_preferences'.
You have not accepted the license agreements of the following SDK components: [Android SDK Platform 27].

I know why it happens! because the latest Android SDK platform on my system is 26 . it trys to download sdk 27 and then fails. no problem! I go to library cached folder which located here :

C:\Users...\AppData\Roaming\Pub\Cache\hosted\pub.dartlang.org\shared_preferences-0.3.1\android

and edit build.gradle file and change compileSdkVersion 27 to compileSdkVersion 26. it works.
so far I have to do this for all new dependencies,
Is there any way such as defining a global build.gradle file for all dependencies? so no need to edit each buil.gradles individually.

In Android Studio, you should check to ensure that the Android SDK Command-line Tools are installed. Adding this fixed the issue for me in Flutter. https://stackoverflow.com/a/67791870/8094969 — bm888, Jun 01 '21 at 15:36

For CI systems - use `yes | flutter doctor --android-licenses` to avoid the prompt – Meir Gabay Dec 14 '21 at 15:36
@MeirGabay that one actually worked for me, though I don't realy understand why. Isn't this the same as answering the prompt with "y"? – Hkrie Jul 19 '22 at 19:57
@Hkrie to be honest, I got to a point where I don’t care as long as it works, took me a few hours to make it run in my CI – Meir Gabay Jul 20 '22 at 10:45
@MeirGabay, I am also facing the same issue and this command doesn't work for me. it says as 'yes' not recognized. Have you faced any issues like this with the latest android studio version 4.2 and android SDK version 33. – srk_sync Oct 20 '22 at 04:31

This worked for me to solve the problem,

Open android studio (close project if any is opened) >> Configure >> Appearance & Behavior >> Android SDK
Go to SDK Tools tab
Install Android SDK Command-line Tools (latest)
Open command prompt software with run as administrator and run yes | flutter doctor --android-licenses.

Then open the command prompt software and run flutter doctor

Then after installing the Android SDK Command-line Tools (latest), you can now run `flutter doctor --android-licenses` and accept all of them, one by one. – Martins Jun 10 '21 at 08:35

This worked for me, using Mac OS X Big Sur. Thanks a lot! – jeasoft Jun 23 '21 at 00:35
It helped, I made some progress, I accepted all licenses, but the doctor still says that 5 out of 7 I did not accept. I followed the procedure with accepting licenses again, rebooted the system and it did not help – kirkadev Aug 18 '21 at 10:23

I think is a little late to answer this question, but I think this can be useful for those who are starting in Flutter like me.

In my case (at my machine), I've executed the steps below:

Execute command prompt as administrator.
Run the command flutter doctor --android-licenses and accept all licenses.
Run the command flutter doctor -v to check if the issue was solved.
To make sure that is everything is ok, execute the command prompt as a regular user (your user) and execute flutter doctor -v again.

@Emil, thank you. Additional info for all: for launch cms as administrator you should. 1. Press "win" button to open the start menu. 2. Type in the EditText "cmd" to search for Command Prompt. 3. Press ctrl+shift+enter to launch Command Prompt as administrator. – kirkadev Aug 18 '21 at 10:30

For me, flutter doctor --android-licenses didn't work for some reason.

The only command that worked & solved the issue was:

First make sure Android SDK is installed on your device. Also see if 2 Android SDK's are not Installed!

Then just simply type on Terminal or CMD flutter doctor --android-licenses Then press y until it acquires all permissions.

Then enter y for all (y/n) to accept agreement.

For newer installations (especially on MacOS) flutter doctor --android-licenses does not work. Run the following command (notice the new path to sdk cmdline tools) and you will able to accept the licenses:

~/Library/Android/sdk/cmdline-tools/latest/bin/sdkmanager --licenses

My problem with Windows was that when I ran the flutter command doctor --android-licenses, I was using git for windows, and the process would hang after selecting the letter y and pressing enter. I tried using CMD and it worked. I was able to accept the missing licenses.

Installing Android SDK Tools (Obsolete) 26.1.1 worked for me. I found this at another link. I will try to find and pasted here. Remember to un-select show obsolete so you can find the SDK.

After this, I was able to do Flutter doctor Android Licenses and select y.

I encountered the same issue when I reinstalled flutter.

What I did was, I went to Android Studio's welcome page> configuration>SDK Manager>SDK tools>

placed a check mark on →　"Android SDK Command-line Tools (latest)"

After that, I was able to run run

flutter doctor --android-licenses

and accept the SDK licenses.

It may not work for some but it did for me so I'll just share.

i faced the same issue in Linux today and below solution worked for me:

android-sdk is saved in /opt and the path will be /opt/android-sdk.

run sudo /opt/android-sdk/cmdline-tools/latest/bin/sdkmanager --licenses.

and if u run flutter doctor -v it will ask for licenses again.

Note: i am using android cli cmd tools not android studio.

I had java SE 11 installed and its variables set up.

It somehow interfered with flutter!

Double-check your java path entry. Go to your java environment variables and double-check your path entry. Keep one of them in the bin and remove the other.

Mine:
```
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.8\bin
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.8
```
In the command line just run flutter doctor --android-licenses accept everything (by clicking y key followed by enter key).
