Answer 1

I have found a solution mentioned here

I got this problem in Android Studio 4.0 when I did a Gradle sync. I fixed it by doing the following:

1. Open top-level build.gradle and change the gradle classpath to:

   classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.0'
   

2. Open gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties and change the distribution URL to:

   distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.1.1-all.zip
   

3. Copy in .idea\jarRepositories.xml from a new project

Here's my new flutter project jarRepositories.xml, you can get your own.

No idea how or why, but it worked for me
