As you cut part of the error message, I can only guess, but you probably did not add `google()` as plugin repository in your settings script and due to that the `id 'com.google.gms.google-services' version '4.4.0' apply false` cannot be resolved. But actually, it is not necessary anyway, as you already use the legacy discouraged way to add it to the buildscript classpath using `classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.4.0'`, so you could just remove that line.

@GarudPilani Did you find the solution? I am troubleshooting the same issue. I also tried what Bjorn suggested but did not work for me

Hi, migrating to Gradle plugin DSL resolved the issue for me [Deprecated imperative apply of Flutter's Gradle plugins | Flutter](https://docs.flutter.dev/release/breaking-changes/flutter-gradle-plugin-apply). FYI, I go the same error message as shared by the previous message but I will share the complete version when I face it again.
