[Bug] Flutter plugin 85.0.4 breaks project creation on Android Studio Meerkat (2024.3.1 Patch 1)

[simoneadore]

Issue Summary

After updating to Flutter plugin version 85.0.4, the "New Flutter Project" option is no longer available in Android Studio Meerkat (2024.3.1 Patch 1). Downgrading to plugin version 85.0.3 resolves the issue.

Environment

• OS: Windows 11 x64
• Android Studio: Meerkat | 2024.3.1 Patch 1
• Flutter Plugin:
  • ✅ Works: 85.0.3
  • ❌ Broken: 85.0.4
• Dart Plugin: Latest available
• Flutter SDK: 3.19.3 (or your version)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install Android Studio Meerkat 2024.3.1 Patch 1
2. Update the Flutter plugin to version 85.0.4
3. Restart Android Studio
4. Try to create a new Flutter project
5. The option is missing or inaccessible

Expected Behavior

The plugin should allow the creation of new Flutter projects as it does in version 85.0.3.

Actual Behavior

The "New Flutter Project" option disappears or becomes inaccessible.

Workaround

Reverting to Flutter plugin version 85.0.3 restores functionality.

same issue here i was able to resolve it via downgrading plugin version to 83.0.4

Guys we can solve this by downgrading to just 85.0.3 , no need to downgrade to very lower version.

Just switch from 85.0.4 to 85.0.3.
1)Download it from flutter plugin for Android studio , a zip file will be downloaded.
2)Then in android studio add plugin from disk.
3)Then add zip file , and restart your studio.
