I keep getting this error whenever i am trying to compile for android

\Documents\Flutter\.pub-cache\hosted\pub.dartlang.org\flutter_inappwebview-5.4.3+7\android\src\main\java\com\pichillilorenzo\flutter_inappwebview\in_app_webview\InAppWebView.java:504: error: cannot find symbol
      settings.setAppCacheEnabled(true);

              ^

And this results to my build failing...

Are you sure you have already searched for the same problem?

Some people open new issues but they didn't search for something similar or for the same issue. Please, search for it using the GitHub issue search box or on the official inappwebview.dev website, or, also, using Google, StackOverflow, etc. before posting a new one. You may already find an answer to your problem!

If this is really a new issue, then thank you for raising it. I will investigate it and get back to you as soon as possible. Please, make sure you have given me as much context as possible! Also, if you didn't already, post a code example that can replicate this issue.

In the meantime, you can already search for some possible solutions online! Because this plugin uses native WebView, you can search online for the same issue adding android WebView [MY ERROR HERE] or ios WKWebView [MY ERROR HERE] keywords.

Following these steps can save you, me, and other people a lot of time, thanks!

Same issue. Did you find a solution?

[danodin69]

Same issue. Did you find a solution?

No I haven't found any yet. Nor have I tried to build the project for Android recently..

But you can try running flutter pub cache repair or flutter clean

@sunilguptasg @dpoxo Were you able to solve this problem?

[sunilguptasg]

Not sure what I did, I downgraded some versions - for me 5.3.2 works.

[yasaman93]

@dpoxo I downgraded to the minimum version with Null safety, but the issue remains. Please help :(

flutter_inappwebview\in_app_webview\InAppWebView.java:271: error: cannot find symbol
      settings.setAppCachePath(options.appCachePath);
              ^
  symbol:   method setAppCachePath(String)

For me, this issue happens after upgrading Android compileSdkVersion from 32 to 33.
