How can i reverse my android studio to escape this PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException:..?

I recently updated my flutter version to 2.0.0 and it worked fine on iOS after updating the pub packages versions to the latest. It unfortunately didn't work on Android and i thought of updating the Android studio. Since then I have been getting certificate errors and I have tried the following, specified in other stackoverflow answers with no result:

  1. adding certificates from maven,jcenter and google to jdk
  2. changed build.gradle version several times
  3. downloaded new sdk tools
  4. accepted all licenses from flutter doctor --android-licenses
  5. tried reinstalling an old flutter and running an app from it
  6. downloaded new jdks

.. all to no avail At this point, I just want my old android back :(

Solution

  • In case you have this same issue and you have tried everything you found on stack overflow.. this solved it for me: https://stackoverflow.com/a/66549260/11320345

    Add systemProp.https.proxyHost= to your gradle-wrapper.properties file

    1. https://stackoverflow.com/a/66572690/11320345

    Unselect proxies in your system preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> (Your current network)

    NOTE: I would also like to add that after i followed the step number 2, undoing step 1 worked for flutter related projects
