How can i reverse my android studio to escape this PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException:..?

Question

I recently updated my flutter version to 2.0.0 and it worked fine on iOS after updating the pub packages versions to the latest. It unfortunately didn't work on Android and i thought of updating the Android studio. Since then I have been getting certificate errors and I have tried the following, specified in other stackoverflow answers with no result:

adding certificates from maven,jcenter and google to jdk
changed build.gradle version several times
downloaded new sdk tools
accepted all licenses from flutter doctor --android-licenses
tried reinstalling an old flutter and running an app from it
downloaded new jdks

.. all to no avail At this point, I just want my old android back :(

In case you have this same issue and you have tried everything you found on stack overflow.. this solved it for me: https://stackoverflow.com/a/66549260/11320345

Add systemProp.https.proxyHost= to your gradle-wrapper.properties file

https://stackoverflow.com/a/66572690/11320345

Unselect proxies in your system preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> (Your current network)

NOTE: I would also like to add that after i followed the step number 2, undoing step 1 worked for flutter related projects
