how can I get this flutter app from 2019 running?

Question

I am working on a flutter app from 2019 (untouched until today) and I have this error which I am unsure about.

Did you try enabling mutiDex? https://stackoverflow.com/a/46494757/11545939 — Himanshu Sharma, Mar 20 '22 at 01:51

I got the same error when running the trace project(https://github.com/trentpiercy/trace) on my local. To this specific issue. I updated the gradle version and this exception disappeared.

Under the android folder, open build.gradle and update the gradle version as follows.(Note, the version was originally 3.2.1. I updated to 4.2.2 although other higher versions could work as well)

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.2'
}

And then open the gradle-wrapper.properties under gradle/wrapper/ and change the distributionUrl to at least version 6.7.1:

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.7.1-all.zip

I also encountered some other issues which involves upgrading the android minSdkVersion to 28 and targetSdkVersion to 31; setting the org.gradle.java.home to a local installation JDK home in gradle.properties; adding android:exported="true" in the MainActivity in AndroidManifest.xml, etc.

how can I get this flutter app from 2019 running?
