Flutter image_picker not working with flutter_plugin_android_lifecycle issue

I have followed all the steps to implement the image picker plugin in a fresh new app.

Added dependencies to pubspec.yaml

dependencies:
  image_picker: 0.6.2+3

Added to the menifest android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"

Followed the example code, But I am getting is this error..

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Whats the wrong am I doing here!

Solution

  • After an intensive search, i got the clue to solved this issue. The app need to compile against SDK 29, which is the latest buildTool includes the latest changes that were introduced in Android 10.

    Inside app level build.gradle file

    // ...
android {
    compileSdkVersion 29
// ....
        defaultConfig {
            targetSdkVersion 29
//...

    I think this should be mentioned in the image_picker documentation.
