Flutter error: Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac

Question

I encountered this problem after updating android studio. None of my apps build in android studio:

Launching lib/flavors/main_dev.dart on sdk gphone arm64 in debug mode...
Warning: This version only understands SDK XML versions up to 3 but an SDK XML file of version 4 was encountered. This can happen if you use versions of Android Studio and the command-line tools that were released at different times.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':google_sign_in_android:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':google_sign_in_android:androidJdkImage'.
   > Failed to transform core-for-system-modules.jar to match attributes {artifactType=_internal_android_jdk_image, org.gradle.libraryelements=jar, org.gradle.usage=java-runtime}.
      > Execution failed for JdkImageTransform: /Users/yurtaslanmac/Library/Android/sdk/platforms/android-34/core-for-system-modules.jar.
         > Error while executing process /Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jbr/Contents/Home/bin/jlink with arguments {--module-path /Users/yurtaslanmac/.gradle/caches/transforms-3/75ce9466628e968a28c2d9274c899d53/transformed/output/temp/jmod --add-modules java.base --output /Users/yurtaslanmac/.gradle/caches/transforms-3/75ce9466628e968a28c2d9274c899d53/transformed/output/jdkImage --disable-plugin system-modules}

How can I fix this problem and build all my apps? Can you please help?

This question is similar to: Why am I getting this warning and how to resolve it "This version only understands SDK XML versions up to 2 but an SDK XML...". If you believe it’s different, please edit the question, make it clear how it’s different and/or how the answers on that question are not helpful for your problem. — miken32

I solved a similar problem with opening the project's android folder as a separate project in Android Studio (Android Studio top left panel -> Open -> android folder in your project -> Click OK), which then prompted me to use the built-in upgrade manager. With that, I upgraded to the latest version of Gradle, and my flutter app was working again.

You are using Java JDK version of 21. Try to use java 17 by editing the java jdk location in Android Studio. It will resolve issue.

Now if you set JAVA_HOME environment variable to java 17, but your Android Studio still showing java 21. Then follow this steps:

You should first need to verify the version of Java JDK, to ensure that the JAVA_HOME variable in environment variables is correctly set. For this, open windows powershell and run this command:

echo $env:JAVA_HOME

If it is correctly set, then do all these following changes with your project:

1. Go to Android/app/build.gradle: Inside of compileOptions should looks like this.

compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_17
    targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_17
}

2. Go to Android/local.properties, add the following line to enforce use of java version 17:

java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk-17

3. Go to Android/gradle.properties, add the following line:

kotlin.jvm.target=17

This error is common when the Flutter package is not compatible with Java.

/Users/yurtaslanmac/.gradle/caches/transforms-3/75ce9466628e968a28c2d9274c899d53/

/Users/yurtaslanmac/.gradle/caches/transforms-3/75ce9466628e968a28c2d9274c899d53/

you can go to this file path C:/Users/yurtaslanmac/.gradle/caches/transforms-3/ and search both id 75ce9466628e968a28c2d9274c899d53 and 75ce9466628e968a28c2d9274c899d53 Delete both file than again build.
