Not sure how to get rid of it. However, the error does not affect anything.

This error gets thrown when you try to run flutter build apk command (at least, it was in my case) while not being in the project directory. Usually, a flutter app's project directory path (let's say it is in F drive, and inside a folder named apps, is as: F:\Apps\app_name

I had the same issue, and the culprit in my case was this path: F:\Apps\app_name\android which is without a doubt, NOT a project directory. So, all I had to do was type this command in terminal: cd .. which takes to the parent directory.

So, before running the command, make sure to check out the directory being shown in terminal.

• Try this command: flutter --version
• Be sure you are on stable channel. By running flutter channel you will see the current channel and for change it run flutter channel stable and flutter doctor commands.

Possible that you are running flutter commands from a different directory. Go to project directory and try running flutter commands from there.
