please provide the code inside build.gradle so we can see what you're doing wrong — Texv, Mar 31 '23 at 06:41
The android block of code is in the wrong build.gradke file. It should be in the build.gradle in the ...\android\app folder. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37250493/could-not-find-method-android-for-arguments — GrahamD, Mar 31 '23 at 07:55

You placed the 'android' code in the wrong file. There are two build.gradle files, one is outside the 'app' folder and one inside. You need to put it in the one that is inside the 'app'folder.

android {
    compileSdkVersion 33
    ndkVersion flutter.ndkVersion

    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }

    

    buildTypes {
        release {
            ifMinifyEnabled true
            isShrinkResources true
            proguardFiles(
                    getDefaultProguardFile("proguard-android-optimize.txt"),
                    "proguard-rules.pro"
            )
        }
    }
}
