Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create project in a different drive from Flutter SDK
  2. Add shared_preferences and url_launcher to pubspec.yaml and run flutter pub get
  3. Open the android folder with Android Studio or IDEA
  4. Gradle sync fails (error logs below)

I checked stackoverflow and https://stackoverflow.com/a/71734846/13978447 this is the workaround that works for me too.
The build fails only if the project is in a different drive from the drive in which the sdk is in.
My project is in D: and both (Android and Flutter) SDKs are in C:.
I copied the project to C: and the build succeeds.
Although this fixes the issue I do not want to store the project in C: drive (and I shouldn't have to).
I also noticed that using an old version of the plugin shared_preferences: 2.0.6 instead of the latest 2.0.15 fixes the issue for this plugin atleast.

Hi @VarunS2002,
I can not reproduce this issue on the latest stable and master channels.
The project I created on drive D: run well with Flutter SDK located on drive C:

[!] Android Studio (not installed)
• Android Studio not found; download from https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html
(or visit https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install/windows#android-setup for detailed instructions).

It seems you're not using Android Studio. What's your current IDEA? Or can you try installing Android Studio and retry?

Oh no don't get me wrong.
flutter run and flutter build apk both work fine.

Which indicates that the gradle tasks assembleDebug and assembleRelease both work.
Only the gradle sync process fails in IDEA when I open the android folder as a project resulting in me unable to use the native Android features in IDEA.
One thing to note is that I am using Android Gradle Build Plugin 7.0.4 instead of the Flutter default 7.1.2 because IDEA 2022.1.2 doesn't support it apparently.

I will install and setup Android Studio to test the same but I will need a few days time so please don't close the issue by then,

@VarunS2002

Opened your test.zip and see the version is different than you reported.
It's using 7.1.2:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.1.2'

Anyway, I got the same error when creating new project and adding dependencies as above mentioned.

Logs 
Could not create task ':shared_preferences_android:generateDebugUnitTestConfig'.
this and base files have different roots: D:\WIP\test_flutter_gradle\build\shared_preferences_android and C:\Users\ADMIN\AppData\Local\Pub\Cache\hosted\pub.dartlang.org\shared_preferences_android-2.0.12\android.

The temporary workaround is to use lower gradle 4.1.3:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.3'

FYI, there is a completed work here #87649 in order to support for Android Gradle Plugin 7.0.0, but it's not supported for first party packages/plugins yet. Follow up on #88666 for further updates.

I'm closing the current one as a duplicate.
If you disagree, please write in the comments and I will reopen it.

The version was different because I created a new project in the latest Android Studio to test this issue (to check whether IDEA or AGB 7.0.4 was the problem). My main project still has AGP 7.04 and throws the same error.

Either way you're able to reproduce the error so it doesn't matter.

Also I'm curious why this happens only on a different drive and works fine on the drive that has the sdk?

You're right, it worked well on the same drive even with default Gradle 7.1.2. It means that we don't need to update anything from new project when creating the project in the same drive with Flutter SDK.

Reopen this issue for further investigation from the team due to this issue's occurring in a special case, it is unlikely that #88666 will be aware/fix it next time.
