+# Why does my build fail?
+
+Flutter utilizes native build systems on Android and iOS.
+As these systems evolve and introduce additional features on their own pace, developers sometimes need to re-adjust the configuration to prevent build failures.
+
+This page collects such errors and the standard procedure to work around them.
+
+## Android
+
+And builds are handled by Gradle; which is configured using .gradle files.
+Android Apps themselves are packaged, compiled & optimized by a variety of tools - all being orchestrated by the Android Gradle Plugin (AGP). 
+
+Usually, Android Studio and AGP are aligned in their versions. Android Studio also contains a few assistants to smoothen the upgrade process for existing projects.
+
+### Quick Fix (suitable for most build errors)
+
+- Open Android Studio
+- Use the File Menu, then "Check for Updates" & retrieve the latest version if necessary
+- After the upgrade, use the File Menu and open the "android/build.gradle" or "example/android/build.gradle" file directly. Android Studio will then import the Android portion of the project and will offer you to upgrade the Gradle plugin and the Gradle wrapper
+- If you develop a plugin, you need to manually check `android/build.gradle` and `example/android/build.gradle` afterwards and ensure they are referring to the same AGP version
+
+### Minimum supported Gradle version is 5.4.1. Current version is 4.10.2.
+
+In this example, the Gradle plugin upgrade was stopped mid-way and the build can not continue.
+
+To fix it, open `android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties` (`example/android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties` if you develop a plugin) and replace the version in there with the required version.
+
+### The Android Gradle plugin only supports Kotlin Gradle Plugin 1.3.10 or higher
+
+With the steps above, only AGP and the wrapper got upgraded. The Kotlin compiler infrastructure is a secondary dependency which is also dependent on certain AGP/Gradle versions.
+To resolve it:
+ - Scan your build.gradle files for a placeholder like `ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.71'` and replace it with the latest Kotlin version (or the version named in the error message).
+ - New Kotlin versions introduce language & syntax optimizations; it is therefore recommended to use Android Studio again and open the native part of the App (see above) and let it run a full compilation, including a clean operation. Android Studio will report build failures and suggestions to optimize your code
+
+### Gradle task assembleDebug failed with exit code 1
+
+If `assembleDebug` or `assembleRelease` failed but no error message can be seen, you are likely on a older Flutter version (`<= 1.9.1.hotfix4`) which may suppress the root cause of the error.
+
+This problem can be solved in two ways:
+ - Please try a more recent channel, like `beta` or `dev` and restart the compilation. It may still fail, but the error will now be printed
+ - Open the `$FLUTTER_ROOT/packages/flutter_tools/gradle/flutter.gradle` file in your local installation and comment the line which reads `gradle.useLogger(new FlutterEventLogger())`, then retry your build
