Supporting info to reproduce

No response

Relevant log output

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':video_thumbnail'.
> Could not create an instance of type com.android.build.api.variant.impl.LibraryVariantBuilderImpl.
   > Namespace not specified. Specify a namespace in the module's build file. See https://d.android.com/r/tools/upgrade-assistant/set-namespace for information about setting the namespace.

     If you've specified the package attribute in the source AndroidManifest.xml, you can use the AGP Upgrade Assistant to migrate to the namespace value in the build file. Refer to https://d.android.com/r/tools/upgrade-assistant/agp-upgrade-assistant for general information about using the AGP Upgrade Assistant.

this solve the problem for me set this 3 lines in settings.gradle plugins { id "dev.flutter.flutter-plugin-loader" version "1.0.0" id "com.android.application" version "7.3.0" apply false id "org.jetbrains.kotlin.android" version "2.0.20" apply false } and this line in gradle-wrapper.properties file distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.6.3-all.zip

@mellow0412 You can try using Android Studio Giraffe 2022.3.1 Patch 4 to resolve this issue. Gradle 8.3 openjdk 17.0.12 Flutter 3.24.3

Since the video_thumbnail package is no longer actively maintained, could it be replaced with the get_thumbnail_video package or another actively managed alternative?

Since downgrading AGP might not be possible for everyone, another solution could be to use a fork like from this PR
