API 'variant.getJavaCompile()' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'variant.getJavaCompileProvider()'

Question

I have build an app in Flutter. It worked fine on the simulations and real devices as well as on the Iphone X and a android phone.

The upload to Apples appstore went fine, but I dont get it build for the the Google play store.

Every time I got several failures and now I am out of cards. I just don't understand what the code is saying and what I have to do.

(As a beginner I was also surprised about the difficult way and lot of steps you had to do to make even a file you can upload. I find it even more difficult then programming. I hope they will made this easier, such as as it is running on a simulator, make this the build file.)

Run it in Android. Followed the steps on the fluttersite.

I have seen this. Same issue, lots of solutions which one do I use and how? — Margriet, Aug 03 '19 at 17:57

All those failures I had was because I did things wrong when I followed the steps in the Flutter doc.

Finally I found a YouTube video of MTECHVIRAL, and just by doing what he did, I got a apk file which I could upload. For other flutterfriends who got the same error, try this first. Save you a lot of time and frustrations:

Watch out: in the sentence with the key he makes a typo: 1000 which has to be 10000. So copy and past the sentence of the flutter instruction page.
