Flutter Camera Plugin Version 0.8.1 not compatible with AndroidX

Question

When executing Flutter run I'm getting the following error due to incompatibilities with the Camera plugin library.

Any ideas?

That is a problem with SDK vs plugin compatibility

Go to your build.grade file and check those:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 30 // must be 30 for compatibility

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "tv.digicash"
        minSdkVersion 23
        targetSdkVersion 30
        versionCode flutterVersionCode.toInteger()
        versionName flutterVersionName
        testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }

Check those too in Android Studio at your File > Project Structure (Project and SDKs left menus)

They must be 30 or superior
