Flutter Gradle task assembleDebug failed with exit code 1 zip END header not found

I recently Solved this problem. This Problem came from gradle file is corrupted in my system. I'm using Linux so this steps almost same in windows also. This answer is for any gradle version.

Open File Manager: enable Show hidden folder from top menu bar.

You may find this location : .gradle>wrapper>dists.

In Linux: Home > .gradle > wrapper > dists.

In Windows: C:>Users>{PC Name}>.gradle>wrapper>dists

Method 1

1. Go inside gradle-6.5-all > dists > 2oz4ud9k3tuxjg84bbf55q0tn. '2oz4ud9k3tuxjg84bbf55q0tn' may be different in your PC.
2. Delete all files in that folder and download required file manually: https://downloads.gradle-dn.com/distributions/gradle-6.5-all.zip
3. after download paste freshly downloaded zip file in that folder.
4. Run your project flutter run -v

Method 2

Try this if you have fast & stable internet connection.

1. Delete that gradle-6.5-all folder.
2. Open project in VS code or Android Studio and open terminal.
3. Run this command flutter run -v

Method 3

Flutter Doctor will give right result.

1. Open Android Studio
2. Create new flutter project
3. Click on Tools > flutter >Flutter for editing in android studio

and wait, flutter doctor takes time to identify problem.

Use this link for download gradle file. Replace 6.5 with your gradle version. https://downloads.gradle-dn.com/distributions/gradle-6.5-all.zip

I hope this answer helpful for you.

Please use the below command

1.Mac User :

rm -rf ~/.gradle

2.Windows User :

remove the .gradle file

.gradle file location -> C:\Users\myUser

I solve this error by updating the gradle plugin/version. I have as part of my configuration:

• Windows 10
• Android Studio 4.2.1
• Java 11: Android Studio 4.2.1 don't have support for JDK 16, so, I installed JDK 11, and configured the AS (how to change the jdk in AS) to use this older JDK
• Gradle 7.0.1

By default, when you create a new Flutter project, the IDE created it with basic standard configurations, so you have to change this configs to fit your current config. For that, you need to update the gradle config in the flutter project, as follow:

• in android/gradle/build.gradle file: update the gradle plugin to 4.2.0 in the dependencies section, like this:

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.0'
    //more dependencies
}

• in android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties file: update the gradle version, in this case I have the 7.0.1, feel free to use another one, like this

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.0.1-all.zip
//more attributes

After you change the gradle config, run this commands in your project:

• flutter clean : clean the project
• flutter pub get : update your dependencies
• flutter run : run the project. Now it must work, at least it work for me

I faced the same problem in VSCode when I wanted to run the Flutter app I got that error, so after lots of debugging and research, I found the solution. it's pretty easy, just follow these steps:

In windows 10:

1. Open flutter project in a Text-Editor like VSCode.

2. Open android -> gradle -> wrapper -> gradle-wrapper.properties

3. You will find "gradle-6.7.1.all.zip" inside gradle-wrapper folder

4. Go to this path: C:\Users\your-user

5. Then go to the wrapper->dists and find "gradle-6.7.1.all" folder

5. Delete this folder.

6. Then come to VSCode and open Terminal.

7. Please make sure that you have stable internet connection then type this command in terminal

8. flutter run

I hope this solution can help you!

This error is caused by corrupted gradle files, this is either due to incomplete downloads due to network issues. To solve it easily download the gradle zipped file from https://downloads.gradle-dn.com/distributions/gradle-6.7-all.zip and paste on the .gradle directory as shown below if you are on linux enter image description here

I solve this error by deleting the .gradle folder.

This location is gradle folder In Windows: C:> Users> {PC Name}>. Gradle

After deleting this folder, you only need to run the application again in Android Studio. At this point, Android Studio starts downloading the deleted folder automatically. enter image description here

I try all method but it did not work for me so i decided to location the gradle-wrapper.properties in the andriod folder then i change the distribution gradle link to a more recent gradle link.

Welcome SO.

Java 16/latest version is not fully compatible with the Gradle 6 at this moment. Try to use java 11 or 8, it will resolve your issue.

You can resolve this by deleting the dists folder from .gradle>wrapper>dists.

First, enable Show hidden folder from the top menu bar in your File Manager to find .gradle>wrapper>dists folder.

• In Linux: Home > .gradle > wrapper > dists

• In Windows: C:>Users>{PC Name}>.gradle>wrapper>dists

Then delete the dists folder completely.
