Could not get unknown property 'flutterRoot' for project ':app' of type org.gradle.api.Project

Question

I have been looking around for solutions to this error, but didn't find any solution. I have a flutter project and I keep getting this error in the app/build.gradle file while trying to build the apk for release.

Could not get unknown property 'flutterRoot' for project ':app' of type org.gradle.api.Project.

Below is my build gradle file.

    def localProperties = new Properties()
def localPropertiesFile = rootProject.file('local.properties')
if (localPropertiesFile.exists()) {
    localPropertiesFile.withReader('UTF-8') { reader ->
        localProperties.load(reader)
    }
}

def flutterRoot = localProperties.getProperty('flutter.sdk')
if (flutterRoot == null) {
    throw new FileNotFoundException ("Flutter SDK not found. Define location with flutter.sdk in the local.properties file.")
}

def flutterVersionCode = localProperties.getProperty('flutter.versionCode')
if (flutterVersionCode == null) {
    flutterVersionCode = '1'
}

def flutterVersionName = localProperties.getProperty('flutter.versionName')
if (flutterVersionName == null) {
    flutterVersionName = '1.0'
}

apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply from: "$flutterRoot/packages/flutter_tools/gradle/flutter.gradle"

def keystoreProperties = new Properties()
def keystorePropertiesFile = rootProject.file('key.properties')
println keystorePropertiesFile
if (keystorePropertiesFile.exists()) {
    keystoreProperties.load(new FileInputStream(keystorePropertiesFile))
}

    compileSdkVersion 30

    sourceSets {
        main.java.srcDirs += 'src/main/kotlin'
    }

    defaultConfig {

        multiDexEnabled true

    }

    signingConfigs {

           keyPassword keystoreProperties['keyPassword']
           storeFile keystoreProperties['storeFile'] ? file(keystoreProperties['storeFile']) : null
           storePassword keystoreProperties['storePassword']
       }
   }

        release {
            release {
                signingConfig signingConfigs.debug
            }
        }
    }
}

flutter {
    source '../..'
}

dependencies {
    implementation "com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3"
    implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"
}

It seems there is an issue with my keystore properties.I would like to know where I am going wrong. I have tried invalidating caches and restart but nothing seems to work.

Run env in command line and check if there is FLUTTER_ROOT variable. If not set it yourself.
