dev.flutter.flutter-gradle-plugin conflicts with repositoriesMode = PREFER_PROJECT when running Gemini Journeys in Android Studio Preview

[armanso]

Use case

Description:

When I run a Gemini Journey in Android Studio Preview (2025.1.2) on a Flutter project, the build fails with this error:

Build was configured to prefer settings repositories over project repositories but repository 'Google' was added by build file 'build.gradle.kts'

I did not make any manual changes to the build.gradle.kts file related to repositories. This issue only happens when running a Journey. If I just build or run the app normally in Android Studio Preview, it works without any issues.

Proposal

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a standard Flutter project.
2. Open it in Android Studio Preview (2025.1.2).
3. Run a Gemini Journey.
4. Build fails with the error above.

---

Expected Behavior:

The project should build successfully when running a Journey, just like it does when running normally.

Actual Behavior:

The build fails with a repository conflict error caused by a repositoriesMode violation.
