I have created a new Flutter project, and this is how the minSdkVersion looks like in the app/build.gradle file:

defaultConfig {
    // TODO: Specify your own unique Application ID (https://developer.android.com/studio/build/application-id.html).
    applicationId "com.example.projectname"
    minSdkVersion flutter.minSdkVersion
    targetSdkVersion flutter.targetSdkVersion
    versionCode flutterVersionCode.toInteger()
    versionName flutterVersionName
}

Where is the value of flutter.minSdkVersion set?

Note that previously, that config value looked like the following:

defaultConfig {
    // TODO: Specify your own unique Application ID (https://developer.android.com/studio/build/application-id.html).
    applicationId "com.example.projectname"
    minSdkVersion 19 //*** This is the part that needs to be changed, previously was 16
    targetSdkVersion 28
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
    testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}

Also, this is the content of the android/local.properties file:

sdk.dir=/Users/usernaem/Library/Android/sdk
flutter.sdk=/Users/username/flutter
flutter.buildMode=release
flutter.versionName=1.0.0
flutter.versionCode=1

As you can see, the value of flutter.minSdkVersion is not set there, but the project can be compiled and built successfully.

Where are the flutter.minSdkVersion and flutter.targetSdkVersion variables initialized?

  • Does this answer your question? [How to change Android minSdkVersion in flutter project](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52060516/how-to-change-android-minsdkversion-in-flutter-project/70316521#70316521) – Jahidul Islam Dec 26 '21 at 11:11
  • Obviously not! Previously the value was something like `minSdkVersion 19` and it was easy to change it. But now it's set via a variable `minSdkVersion flutter.minSdkVersion` and I don't know where it's set. – B Faley Dec 26 '21 at 11:15
  • go to android folder and then android->local.properties and here you change your require SDK version – Jahidul Islam Dec 26 '21 at 11:17
  • I cannot see them there. Updated the question with the content of the `local.properties` file. – B Faley Dec 26 '21 at 11:20

Go to this file in your flutter extracted folder:

flutter/packages/flutter_tools/gradle/flutter.gradle

There you can find all static variables.
