Do follow some steps:

Go to flutter_app => android => gradle => wrapper directory
Delete gradle-wrapper.jar file
Open and edit gradle-wrapper.properties file
Change distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-x.x.x-all.zip to gradle-7.2-all.zip or latest
On terminal use flutter run command

I solved my issue, hopefully yours

Flutter run requires a connected device, if you are running mac then I'm not sure whether it will download the new gradle version, instead, you can run `flutter build apk` just after you completed the steps above – Thiago Cordeiro Jan 01 '21 at 10:28
What do u mean by go to flutter_app? – itti_da Jul 29 '22 at 06:35
flutter_app = folder of your application – devmrh Dec 10 '22 at 20:19

The error is related to Gradle, this is usually due to corrupt or incomplete Gradle setup Go to the root directory and locate the hidden .gradle folder and delete it. For mac, open the terminal and execute

cd ~ rm -rf .gradle

I literally had given a rage quit, turned off the computer and went to sleep, the other day I opened android studio, waited for gradle.sync (which by the way took more than 10min) and when doing the build it worked. It's probably not the correct solution, but it worked for me.

open the android directory and delete the entire gradle folder and make sure your internet connection is stable and run your app again. it is to be note that the gradlew file is corrupted hence causing this error.

if this doesn't work then try deleting the .gradle folder in your users directory by going to C:\Users\username\ to delete the .gradle folder and re download on opening android studio again. a network interruption during download of gradle can cause this type of error.

I cloned a repository so they were using a higher grade version than the one in my computer, so I went to my gradle-wrapper.properties file and reduced it to the version in my computer then ran the app.

I just downloaded and installed the latest version of android studio. When I reopened the same project in the updated version, I got a notification to upgrade my gradle. I clicked the upgrade button and everything works now.

First, make sure to update all your packages in your pubspec. For me, connectivity_widget was the problem.

I spent an entire day working out all the possible solutions on the internet. Turns out I just needed to switch my network connection from college wifi to my mobile data. I still don't know why but it worked. If anyone know why, please let me know

I solved this problem in my case by doing this:

connect to the internet
Go from your project space to => android => gradle =>wrapper => gradle-wrapper-properties

then, change this

distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.2-all.zip

to this

distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.4.2-all.zip

, or to gradle-#-all.zip ( latest )

If you got this problem after adding icon image, then check the image name. It should always starts with "ic_launcher" for android. Of course you can change it if you want. But make sure to change it everywhere in your code.

It is possible that you are on the corporate network and probably a firewall is enabled on that, which prevents some artifacts from being downloaded as the download source is blocked or filtered by the corporate firewall.

P.S change to a personal network and the issue should be resolved.

https://stackoverflow.com/a/63187554/9890577 described the cause well. The internet connection might be unstable but you really need to delete gradle-wrapper.jar file before retry. Hope the flutter/IDE development team can resolve this issue, for example to delete gradle-wrapper.jar file automatically, so that users will not be confused.
