I am following a youtube tutorial on how to recreate zoom with flutter and firebase. I followed along for a bit and now decided to download the source code to see if it will run. And it didn't. Here is what I got when I tried to "flutter run" the app after running "flutter pub get":
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* Where:
Build file '/home/oliveren/Downloads/flutter-zoom-clone-master/android/app/build.gradle' line: 24
* What went wrong:

I saw that I need to update my Gradle so I did by replacing some lines in my android gradle files by following this post Update Gradle in Flutter project
now I am getting this:

I saw some posts about how the 'useProguard' option has been removed in Gradle 7.0.0. Flutter should obfuscate without it, but I can add another option shrinkResources true etc. I tried this but maybe implemented it wrong and still is encountering the same error (or similar error). I am stuck at this point and neither stack overflow nor github has anything about this. Does anyone know what's going on?
