When I create or clone a flutter project in android studio it shows "Error creating project Setting VM flags failed: Unrecognized flags:disable-dart-dev"

I am using Android Studio version 4.0 and I have made couple of android and flutter apps before. Creating or running project never generated errors.

After cloning the project, I have tried "Pub get" command and "get dependencies" command which gave the Unrecognized flags error. To give it a try, I also run the "upgrade dependencies" command which gives me another error: "Flutter device daemon #3: process exited during startup. Exit code: 255, stderr: Setting VM flags failed: Unrecognized flags: disable-dart-dev"

For information, I already have updated versions of flutter(1.17.2) and dart plugins. The cloned Project name is "magic-8-ball-flutter" github link for the cloned project

Basically you had a missing PATH variable to the powershell executable. You can find it in the directory : C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0. After that close all cmd's and powershell windows and reopen and run flutter doctor -v to setup Flutter SDK properly. This may take some minutes, like if it starts downloading Dart SDK too. Also if you are on master branch try switching to stable branch.

If you are using windows 7,8 other than 10 you will encounter this error as you have to separately update the powershell version. In C:\windows\System32\WindowsPowershell Here you have to upgrade your powershell version by this link. https://youtu.be/ouvSqfyHahU For windows 10 it is pre-installed already updated version.
