Flutter App stuck at "Running Gradle task 'assembleDebug'... " - gradle

Question

When I run the app it get stuck
Launching lib\main.dart on Lenovo A319 in debug mode...
Running Gradle task 'assembleDebug'...
(This is taking an unexpectedly long time.)
It never initialize Gradle nor the dependencies

Answer 1

Here is solution in my case.
Open your flutter Project directory.
Change directory to android directory in your flutter project directory cd android
clean gradle ./gradlew clean
Build gradle ./gradlew build or you can combine both commands with just ./gradlew clean build
Now run your flutter project. If you use vscode, press F5. First time gradle running assembleDebug will take time.
PS: Delete gradle in case of all that steps don't work

Answer 2

flutter run -v showed that I was stuck on
Downloading https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.6.2-all.zip
This was going to take hours, as for some reason the download speed was ~10kB/s on a decent DSL connection.
Solution:
Interrupt gradle build
Download the required gradle zip from a fast mirror. e.g. https://distfiles.macports.org/gradle/gradle-5.6.2-all.zip
Copy gradle-5.6.2-all.zip to C:\Users\ <MyUsername>\.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-5.6.2-all\9st6wgf78h16so49nn74lgtbb (of course the last folder will have a different name on your PC)
flutter run and voilà.

Answer 3

In my case, Windows Firewall was causing this problem. After I disabled it temporarily the problem was gone. Worth giving it a try. Good luck!

Answer 4

If you are on Windows:
try adding firewall exceptions to your Android Studio.
Go to:
Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Defender Firewall\Allowed apps
Hit the button:
Allow another app
Add your new firewall exceptions:
studio.exe and studio64.exe
I hope this can be useful for you too.

Answer 5

If Running Gradle task assembledebug is taking unexpectedly long time,
try updating Gradle in your project. (Downloading latest zip file)
You can follow steps in this answer.
Or try by:
Open a project in Android Studio
Right-click on android in Projects Panel
Go down to Flutter and click on the 'Open Android module in Android Studio'.
(See screenshot for reference)
This should open the project as an Android Project.
Now, click on 'gradle' in the right panel.
Next, click on 'Execute Gradle Task' icon
This should open a 'Run Anything' window.
Now, Run the command gradlew clean
and, then run gradlew build
If prompted by Android Studio to 'Update Gradle Plugin', do that.
The update would download the required .zip files.
And, your apps should work fine after that.

Answer 6

I am using VS Code on Ubuntu 18.04
For me it was a background download of the appropriate android sdk build tools for my connected device. Running flutter run -v showed that it was downloading android SDK build tools which usually take some time. Once it was done, the flutter app compiled and ran successfully.
Solution
Ensure you have installed android sdk tools and added them to the environment path.
I assume you have downloaded android sdk tools.
Ensure you have installed gradle and added it to the path
Ensure you have installed latest dart and flutter sdks
For no 1 and 2 please refer to this post:
Setting up flutter without Android studio

Answer 7

For me what worked was clean wipe the emulator data by AVD Manager

Answer 8

There were two reasons for me on Archlinux:
I needed to unset TERM which was set to xterm-256color (reference).
For some reason, flutter stable was not working for me; so I switched to master with: flutter channel master && flutter upgrade. I'll be able to switch back to flutter stable when the fix in master makes its way into stable (reference).

Answer 9

This worked for me.I got an issue with license acceptance.
First you need to go through the flutter directory and then run the command
C:\Users\thrishool\flutterProjects\flutter>flutter doctor
Then it will display if everything is fine or not.I got an issue that, I didnot accept all the licenses.So you need to accept them all.Now type this in cmd
C:\Users\thrishool\flutterProjects\flutter>flutter doctor --android-licenses
Accept all the licenses and you are good to go.

Answer 10

For me simply the process took too much time. It kept running for about 10 mins and finally the app started running.

Answer 11

This problem occurred on my system because of the Zen Kernel.
I installed the Linux-LTS kernel and started system using this.
Then my project backed to compile again.

Answer 12

I used the command "flutter clean" in my project and it returned to work perfectly, please try.

Answer 13

This is likely one of number of issues and some of the recommended troubleshooting can be found here.
Check that you are building against an Android sdk that you have
installed... in your build.gradle file check the compileSdkVersion.
You can try uninstalling and reinstalling the relevant SDK.
Some users have reported that they had to resintall Dart.
Without a little more information basic troubleshooting is the best we can offer sorry.
Good luck.

Answer 14

For creating an apk for Android in Flutter this issue sometimes happens. I had the luck of facing this issue as well. Here are the few ways it can be solved:
1. Due to androidX
If you followed recommended route from here:
https://flutter.dev/docs/development/packages-and-plugins/androidx-compatibility
Try this:
Check with steps in “not recommended” way in above tutorial if every listed files is same as in your project, especially :
in root/android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties set distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.10.2-all.zip
in root/android/build.gradle, set
dependencies { classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.2' }
check if root/android/app/build.gradle SDK version is set to minimum 28 for:
compileSdkVersion 28 and targetSdkVersion 28
Thank you.

Answer 15

In Android Studio:
Tools -> Flutter -> Flutter clean.
After that just run the app

Answer 18

In my case I forgot to download Google Web Driver.

Answer 19

It is taking time on windows 10 as the Android studio needs firewall permission to connect to the device(AVD).
There can be another reason that you don't have downloaded full Android SDK on your machine.
To check the issue simply run the command on your terminal/cmd/PowerShell command tool.
flutter doctorflutter doctor
check if SDK is installed or not.
Try to install and accept license using the following command
flutter doctor --android-licenses
If this doesn't resolve your problem then go to android studio and Open your Android Studio,
File-> settings->System settings(left tab) ->Android SDK
,
go to
SDK Tool section
in that page,
untick hide obsolete packages,
select Android SDL tools(obsolete)
and press apply also install other useful tools according to your convenience.

Answer 25

Download the required gradle zip from a fast mirror: https://distfiles.macports.org/gradle/gradle-5.6.2-all.zip
Copy gradle-5.6.2-all.zip to C:\Users
.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-5.6.2-all\9st6wgf78h16so49nn74lgtbb
If this does not work, go to android studio's terminal then run:- flutter run.
See what SDK platform it's asking you. like SDK API 28, 29, or 30.
Then goto SDK manager and install the required SDK API. Then restart android studio.
It will work perfectly fine!!

Answer 26

The same problem occurred on my mac in Android Studio 4.1, unfortunately, I forgot to install Java on my machine, try installing Java.

Answer 27

nothing was working for me
I do update the flutter SDK & update all the dependencies to the latest version. after that, I open the android module as a project in android studio. It downloads some files. after completion, I do clean the project using Build->clean Project & update the Gradle version.
After that, I again open the flutter project and run the app. It's working now.... :)

Answer 28

This might also be due to developers permission, if you will be using any package which requires devices permission lets say url_launcher and you haven't given permission for that it wont run. Solution for windows is that just run ms-settings:developers this in your command prompt/ powershell and enable for developers option and then it will work fine.
and if that doesnt also works then just run flutter clean and flutter create . it will work.

Answer 29

How are you !,
After many attempts, nothing they recommended worked for me.
My problem was that I had * .dart files with many lines of code to perform SQL create and insert operations initially in SQLite, I removed those 4072 lines of operations, the file was reduced in size and I no longer had to compile a very code file long, instead, I preloaded the database into assets, and it worked flawlessly! ..
The message that the operation is taking a long time no longer appears, I hope it serves you.
Before, when long file size
After, without SQL code operations

Answer 30

I solved the issue by reinstalling SDK Platform on Android studio for Android API 29
Tools->SDK Manager-SDK Platform
Next go to
Android > app > build.gradle
Make sure you also change
compileSdkVersion 29
targetSdkVersion 29
Be patient, it take longer for the first launch...But, not take forever like before.
good luck
