Execution failed for task ':app:processReleaseMainManifest', while building flutter apk

I have an app that was building fine before I formated my PC. I installed everything flutter needs and what I had in my previous install and tried to build my app after cloning from github. It results in failure.

PS D:\flutter_projects\uni-access> flutter build apk
Running "flutter pub get" in uni-access...                       1.849ms

I have java 17 and my build.gradle in android/app is the following.

def localProperties = new Properties()
def localPropertiesFile = rootProject.file('local.properties')
if (localPropertiesFile.exists()) {
    localPropertiesFile.withReader('UTF-8') { reader ->
        localProperties.load(reader)
    }
}

def flutterRoot = localProperties.getProperty('flutter.sdk')
if (flutterRoot == null) {
    throw new GradleException("Flutter SDK not found. Define location with flutter.sdk in the local.properties file.")
}

def flutterVersionCode = localProperties.getProperty('flutter.versionCode')
if (flutterVersionCode == null) {
    flutterVersionCode = '1'
}

def flutterVersionName = localProperties.getProperty('flutter.versionName')
if (flutterVersionName == null) {
    flutterVersionName = '1.0'
}

This problem seems bizzare. I have tried flutter clean, gradle clean, deleting the .gradle dir from my user dir. Still nothing.
