A problem occurred configuring project ':backendless_sdk'

Flutter

I had the misfortune of updating gradle and now I’m stuck with this error

  • What went wrong:
    A problem occurred configuring project ‘:backendless_sdk’.

Could not create an instance of type com.android.build.api.variant.impl.LibraryVariantBuilderImpl.
Namespace not specified. Specify a namespace in the module’s build file. See Configure the app module  |  Android Studio  |  Android Developers for information about setting the namespace.

If you’ve specified the package attribute in the source AndroidManifest.xml, you can use the AGP Upgrade Assistant to migrate to the namespace value in the build file. Refer to Use the Android Gradle plugin Upgrade Assistant  |  Android Studio  |  Android Developers for general information about using the AGP Upgrade Assistant.

Any Help ?

Hello @Aldrin_Alain

This error occurs due to an update in the Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) starting from version 8.0, which requires explicitly specifying the namespace in the build.gradle file.

How to fix it:

  1. Open the build.gradle file of the module that is causing the error (backendless_sdk).
  2. Add the namespace inside the android block, for example:
android {
    namespace "com.example.backendless_sdk"
}

Replace "com.example.backendless_sdk" with the appropriate namespace for your module.

  1. If the namespace is already defined in AndroidManifest.xml as the package attribute, simply copy it into build.gradle.
  2. Restart the Gradle sync in your project.

If the issue persists, let me know which versions of Gradle and AGP you are using.
