Same commit now fails to build despite no changes to codemagic settings

[noga-dev]

If you are looking for help, please confirm the following...

• I confirm I have searched the Docs, Codemagic Sample Projects, and GitHub Discussions.
• I confirm the software versions on my local computer match the ones in CI environment (e.g. Xcode version, Gradle version). See here
• I confirm I am able to do a fresh clone of the repository and build the project on my local computer.

Which mobile framework are you using?

Flutter (Dart)

Steps to reproduce

run build on same commit that worked previously

log output of attempting to build using the same commit that worked last time

Warning: Flutter support for your project's Kotlin version (1.8.22) will soon be dropped. Please upgrade your Kotlin version to a version of at least 2.1.0 soon.
Alternatively, use the flag "--android-skip-build-dependency-validation" to bypass this check.

Potential fix: Your project's KGP version is typically defined in the plugins block of the `settings.gradle` file (/Users/builder/clone/android/settings.gradle), by a plugin with the id of org.jetbrains.kotlin.android. 
If you don't see a plugins block, your project was likely created with an older template version, in which case it is most likely defined in the top-level build.gradle file (/Users/builder/clone/android/build.gradle) by the ext.kotlin_version property.

Build failed :|
Failed to build for Android

The funny thing is that in my build.gradle.kts I don't use minSdkVersion or flutter.minSdkVersion as a value at all.

here is my defaulConfig data - again this is the same commit so it built successfully previously:

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId = appNamespace
        minSdk = 23
        targetSdk = flutter.targetSdkVersion
        versionCode = appVersionCode
        versionName = flutter.versionName
        multiDexEnabled = true
        manifestPlaceholders["googleMapsApiKey"] = googleMapsApiKey
    }

Expected results

should build successfully just like last successful build of the same commit

Actual results

fails to build

Hello @noga-dev , I compared the configurations of your failed and successful builds, and I noticed that you were using different Flutter versions.

The successful build was running on Flutter 3.32.8, while the failed build was running on 3.35.1.

In your workflow editor configuration, you selected Flutter stable, which means the build will always use the latest stable version. But, that may not always be compatible with your project and could lead to issues like this.

My suggestion is to select a specific Flutter version in the workflow editor configuration.
Let me know how it goes.

[noga-dev]

You're right, I hadn't noticed.

@dtrdic Might be helpful to make it so the stable label shows the current version at the time of build.

Closing.
