'How can I fix java.lang.AssertionError: annotationType(): unrecognized Attribute name MODULE?

On my flutter project, using fvm, I migrated the project from flutter 2.0.6 to flutter 2.5.2. After fixing all null safesty issues. I get the following error when I try to run my project:

$ fvm flutter run
Using hardware rendering with device sdk gphone x86. If you notice graphics artifacts, consider enabling software rendering with "--enable-software-rendering".
Launching lib/main.dart on sdk gphone x86 in debug mode...
Running Gradle task 'assembleDebug'...                          
An exception has occurred in the compiler (1.8.0_242-release). Please file a bug against the Java compiler via the Java bug reporting page (http://bugreport.java.com) after checking the Bug Database (http://bugs.java.com) for duplicates. Include your program and the following diagnostic in your report. Thank you.

I am not sure how to get the java version that fvm is using to compile if this is relevant.

Please let me know any command or information needed and I will update the post.

Thank you.



Solution 1:[1]

This arises in Android builds from a combination of:

  • Using compileSdkVersion 31,
  • With JDK8,
  • Having any Lambda style related code somewhere (else error may not happen).

The default android toolchains have moved to JDK11 now, you must use JDK11 when you change any of the Android API target versions from 30 to 31.

Semi duplicate of unrecognized Attribute name MODULE (class com.sun.tools.javac.util.SharedNameTable$NameImpl)

Solution 2:[2]

In My Case I solve the issue by changing this :

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5-bin.zip

In gradle-wrapper.properties file .

Solution 3:[3]

I solved this problem by recreating the project
