[Bug] Compile SDK version too low
BUG REPORTS WITHOUT PROVIDING THESE INFORMATIONS WILL BE CLOSED DIRECTLY. DON'T REMOVE THE SECTIONS!
Describe the bug
We're unable to build our app with compileSdkVersion 35. It throws an issue when we run flutter build appbundle
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Use barcode_scan2 in a project with Android compileSdkVersion set to 35
- run
flutter build appbundle
Expected behavior Should build fine
Logs FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
- What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':barcode_scan2:checkReleaseAarMetadata'.
A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.CheckAarMetadataWorkAction 19 issues were found when checking AAR metadata:
1. Dependency 'androidx.fragment:fragment:1.7.1' requires libraries and applications that
depend on it to compile against version 34 or later of the

on).

Additional context Our app has compileSdkVersion set to 35
I'm getting the same error
I am also facing the same issue. Cannot build the update of my application because of this.
You can go and downgrade to: barcode_scan2: ^4.3.3 I'm building this version mit the following SDK settings: compileSdk 36 targetSdkVersion 36.
any update?
