Android build is failing due to missing Kotlin lib

[starfreck]

Describe the bug

Android build is failing due to missing Kotlin lib with the latest version of flutter. I am not a Gradle expert but as far as I can tell, It cannot find org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-serialization-compiler-plugin-embeddable:1.7.10 in any of the artifactory.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Upgrade Flutter $ flutter upgrade
2. Create new flutter project flutter create my_new_project
3. Add background_downloader: ^8.5.2 as dependency
4. Run flutter build apk

Expected behavior
An apk file should be generated under build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/.

Logs

background_downloader: ^8.5.2
