TL;DR
How do I correctly use Kotlin plugin when creating a new flutter project in VSCode?
I'm trying to create a new flutter project in VSCode.
Flutter has been working for me since the start of the year but for some reason I’m getting this error in debug console when I try to run on my device.
Launching lib/main.dart on SM A520F in debug mode...

My other flutter projects use java as their android code. This is the first time i'm using kotlin as it now seems to be the default. I'm not sure if i have the right kotlin plugin or how to install it i just assumed VSCode would do that automatically in setting up the New Project.
Steps to reproduce
1. Open new window in VSCode
2. View > command palate > Flutter: New Project
3. Type “newtest” and hit enter
4. Select a folder to create the project
5. Connect device
6. In vscode click debug > start debugging
My flutter sdk at the bottom bar on vscode is showing

What I've tried
The console error suggests trying to run with: --stacktrace, --info , --debug, --scan. I figured out how to do that from this post
My stacktrace is long and similar. The info results were similar and the debug results were too long (if you really want I can include them) The scan results were short and odd. It seems its saying I can’t scan but then suggests to scan… |:
It seems my main issue is with kotlin in this line
Could not resolve org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.2.71
But not much comes up when I google this
This SO post led me to this kotlin documentation that said to use a new version in gradle files like
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.3.61"
but i get the same error with the new version
Could not resolve org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.3.61
My question is how do I correctly use Kotlin plugin when creating a new flutter project in VSCode?
EDIT:
In the end I gave up with kotlin and went back to java.
This is a shame because kotlin is the default in flutter which means it is preferred and I've heard there are some advantages to using it over java. This is why I didn't put this as an answer. Here are my steps to convert back to java
- Delete the android folder
- navigate to the parent directory of the project
in terminal run
flutter create --org com.example.newtest -a java newtestor more generally
flutter create --org [package] -a java [project]In vscode click debug > start debugging
EDIT 2:
Since last edit I can't even get a hello world project to run.
EDIT 3:
I reinstalled Android studio twice (the first reinstall may have had problems maybe because I dragged my old Android SDK into Android studio folder as it wasn't included). After reinstalling again kotlin now works easily in a new project. The second time I uninstalled I used these commands to help https://stackoverflow.com/a/18458893/9713633
