The first error can be fixed by editing
~/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dartlang.org/file_picker-4.1.4/android/build.gradle
and changing
minSdkVersion 16
to
minSdkVersion 19

The second error can be avoided by editing
~/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dartlang.org/file_picker-4.1.4/android/build.gradle
and adding
abortOnError false
to the lintOptions section

@Simpler1 this is the first time I see it reported as an issue. Increasing the minSdk to 19 could introduce breaking changes for some applications relying on the plugin.

The second one isn't an issue, but this should be related with your project I believe, otherwise would be a major issue for most of plugin users.

@miguelpruivo any updates? This library is breaking my CI builds due to lint failure. I think the android linter can't understand the previously defined check regarding the android version defined before this row

Even if you targeted your project minSdkVersion to 19 or above, the linter will keep failing because the internal lint task of your library uses the minSdkVersion of the library, which is 16.

You can reproduce it by creating a new flutter project with this very dependency and then run the android gradle task lintDebug or lintRelease
