stucking white screen on production that uploded play store. Specially When I use GetX

[@codewithbenji]

really that not good

[@bugrahankaramollaoglu]

with the most-updated version both build.gradles changed a lot. buildScript {} is gone, and the lines you mentioned naturally causing errors. is there any updated changes you could share in a new video or something?

[@codewithbenji]

yah thats true

[@keremduman8537]

I'm getting the same error when buying build apk. I couldn't figure it out. Did you solve this?

[@codewithbenji]

Really this exact error on building?
Maybe try flutter clean and rebuild again

How do you fix the same error using the new build.gradle syntax or format, the one without buildscript? This solution is everywhere but can't find for to the updated format. Thanks in advance.

By the way, I'm new to flutter/programming. Also, last month, I was able to build apk but I was not paying attention to the build.gradle because there were no errors. So I'm thinking this is new to the latest version of flutter.
I've read the doc and was stated that the old way(Buildscript) will no longer be use(this was my general understanding). I was paying attention to it because most are using this solution: edit Buildscript section by adding the kotlin version.

run flutter clean on yo project directory terminal
then after re-run the project make sure you have a good internet connection
