I get this error when running my flutter application.
`FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
Could not create task ':app:processDebugMainManifest'. Cannot invoke "Object.toString()" because "value" is null
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.`
I have tried flutter clean and flutter pub cache clean but to no avail. I have also updated the compileSdkVersion to 34 and I am using gradle version of 7.6.2-all. How do I resolve this issue please. I have tried many answers online but still doesn't work for me.
Below are some screenshots and flutter doctor output to give more context

It seems to be related to the java version Try changing
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility 1.8
targetCompatibility 1.8
}
to
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_17
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_17
}
