Deprecation warning in gradle in Android Studio in Flutter project

I have created a Flutter project in Android Studio (Bumblebee | 2021.1.1 Patch 3). When I open the android folder in a seperate window, when the gradle syncing is being executed, it fails with the message Gradle project sync failed. Basic functionality(e.g. editing,debugging) will not work properly. I ran ./gradlew --warning-mode all in the command line and it's output is
Configure project :app

The last warning is due to system_alert_window (flutter)plugin that I am using. But these deprecation warnings are causing issues in Android Studio editor so that I am unable to use code completion feature. I don't know why is this happening, since these are only warning messages.
My gradle version is 6.7 and android-gradle version is 4.1.0.
Can anyone please help?

TRY this steps-
Step 1:
Open the gradle.properties file same like given Image-
https://i.stack.imgur.com/S2Y0a.png
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

Apparently this can be fixed by upgrading the version of the play-publisher plugin from 1.1.5 to 2.1.1 as per the GitHub issue here: https://github.com/Triple-T/gradle-play-publisher/issues/532
However, it seems that the newer versions of the plugin aren't available on all artifact repositories. I found it here which has clear steps of doing it: https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/com.github.triplet.play
Lastly it is advised that you check their GitHub page again to make sure that the config you currently have is still compatible: https://github.com/Triple-T/gradle-play-publisher
With regards to gradlew --recompile-scripts, this has been deprecated and removed in the new version since most of the times the gradle daemon is running and ignores this option. More info here: https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/1425

First, add a new repo to your repositories on build.gradle (Project)
repositories {
maven { url 'https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/' }
}
Now , upgrade your classpath.
classpath 'com.github.triplet.gradle:play-publisher:2.1.1'

Android Studio gives error: Gradle version 2.10 is required. Current version is 2.2.1 in Cordova project?

I have a Cordova/Phonegap application, every time when I rebuild the application using cordova build android it gives me below error.

Recently I have updated my Android Studio 1.5 to 2.1 and imported previous project setting. Problem can be solved if I removed my android platform and add it again and rebuild the application. But this is very time consuming to do. Please provide any suggestions or solutions?
I tried below answers: (not Cordova specific)

Thank you in-advance!

Edit the /Users/name/Desktop/Ponet/zoomber/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties file and set the distributionUrl property to

Gradle - A problems occurred evaluating root project '*'. > Could not find method compile() for arguments [*] on root project '*'

I'm using Eclipse Luna to develop my Android app. I don't have any idea why the error message keep showing again and again. I got this error message after fill up dependencies in build.gradle and run gradle build in my terminal.
build.gradle

change to this:
compile 'com.lorentzos.swipecards:library:1.0.8'

I encountered the error when I tried using gradle 2.6 to build a project that was built using gradle 2.3. Make sure the versions are the same.

The compile task is defined by the java plugin. However, as you do not include it in your root project it does not exist there so gradle does not know how to handle it.
In order to resolve it you can either:
Apply the java plugin to your root project. The downside of this approach would be that this plugin will be included automatically in all your sub project that in somecases may be undesired, and also by default there will be an empty jar created for this project.
Define a dummy empty compile task yourself so gradle will be happy.

compile is a dependency configuration that comes from the Java Plugin.
The Android Gradle plugin applies the Java plugin under the covers. I do not see the Android plugin applied in your Gradle script. I think you may be missing a module-level build configuration that applies the Android Gradle plugin which would add dependencies.compile(...) to the DSL.

Android-clean architecture sample program

I'm following an article from http://fernandocejas.com/2014/09/03/architecting-android-the-clean-way/ and downloaded the sample git hub project https://github.com/android10/Android-CleanArchitecture.
The project has been build using gradle, since my previous projects was build using the default builder of android, i found this hard building the project.
I already set up the environment of the gradle. but when I tried to build the project using gradle build on the root folder i get this error.(NOTE: Im using Intellij as my IDE)
I first performed gradle build in the root folder but received this error:
* Where:
Build file '/Users/magic/Desktop/android/myProjects/TestingProjects/Android Clean Architecture/Android-CleanArchitecture-master/data/build.gradle' line: 1
What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':data'.

Gradle version 1.10 is required. Current version is 2.1. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl in /Users/magic/Desktop/android/myProjects/TestingProjects/Android Clean Architecture/Android-CleanArchitecture-master/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-1.10-all.zip
Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
BUILD FAILED
So, i went to folder gradle and change the gradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-1.10-all.zip and perfomed ./gradlew build but got this error:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
Where:
Build file '/Users/Magic/Desktop/android/myProjects/TestingProjects/Android Clean Architecture/Android-CleanArchitecture-master/data/build.gradle' line: 9
What went wrong:

and its pointing to line 9
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.fernandocejas.android10.sample.data" //line 9
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 19
}
I would really appreciate your inputs with this.
Thanks.

I just downloaded that project, imported it into Intellij 13.1 (using the gradle wrapper), and it worked out of the box. You have made changes to the build.gradle files that have broken it. It is hard to say what the issue is without all your gradle files posted here. One indication that the gradle files have been modified is that one of the errors you gave was:
Failed to apply plugin [id 'android-library']
But the example does not apply this plugin, it applies the correct one, i.e.:
apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
Try getting that project again and don't change the gradle build files. Also make sure you are importing with the gradle wrapper, and not your local distribution of gradle.
I hope this helps!
