…ency Fixes llfbandit#239 This commit resolves build failures when using Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) 8.x and newer Gradle versions. Users were encountering compilation errors: - "package io.flutter.embedding.engine.plugins does not exist" - "package io.flutter.plugin.common does not exist" Root cause: The Flutter declarative Gradle plugin fails to automatically add flutter.jar as a compile-time dependency to plugin modules when using AGP 8+. Solution: Added a compileOnly dependency on the Flutter embedding library (flutter.jar) that dynamically locates the Flutter SDK from local.properties. This provides the necessary Flutter framework classes at compile time without bundling them in the plugin output. The fix: - Reads Flutter SDK path from local.properties - Adds flutter.jar as compileOnly dependency - Gracefully handles missing paths (backwards compatible) - Works with both imperative and declarative Gradle configurations References: - flutter/flutter#177417 - llfbandit#239 Tested with: - Flutter 3.38.5 - AGP 8.11.1 - Gradle 8.x
