Open the build.gradle file on android/app folder and set the compileSdkVersion & targetSdkVersion to 31 and set the minSdkVersion to 21 so that it would be compatible to older versions of android.

Do a flutter clean just to be safe before rebuilding the app.

Another quick solution that's worth trying (doesn't work every time, but there's no harm in trying) is to run the command:

flutter clean

in the terminal and then try rerunning the project.
