build.gradle: The option 'android.enableR8' is deprecated and should not be used anymore


I am new to flutter development.

When I opened my android project in android studio then I got this warning and unable to understand exactly what to do?

I have already read this but not clear to me.

Please tell exactly what to do? (Keep in mind I am new to flutter so be stepwise.)


Solution

  • Step 1:

    Open the gradle.properties file

    **Android Studio File Structure**

    Step 2:

    Disable android.enableR8=true by adding a # in front:

    #android.enableR8=true

    Alternatively, you can swap out the R8 for D8, The build system changed to using D8 instead of R8.

    android.enableD8=true
