Solution:

add this in your project/build.gradle
subprojects {
project.evaluationDependsOn(':app')
afterEvaluate {project ->
if (project.hasProperty("android")) {
android {
compileSdkVersion 28
buildToolsVersion '28.0.3'
}
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy {
force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:16.1.0'
force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:16.0.1'
force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-basement:16.2.0'
force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:16.0.1'
force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-stats:16.0.1'
force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:16.0.1'
}
}
}
}

} // this is for release build

[eduardkieser]

Thanks so much man. This seems to do the trick. Will test with a device when I get home tonight.

[techno-disaster]

Leave a like of it helped you 🙂

[eduardkieser]

I do still get this message though:

Note: /Users/eduard/development/flutter/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dartlang.org/tflite-1.0.4/android/src/main/java/sq/flutter/tflite/TflitePlugin.java uses unchecked or unsafe operations.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details.

In red text, is this a known thing? Should I be worried?

[techno-disaster]

just a warning, @shaqian can fix it easily.

[techno-disaster]

@shaqian i have sent a PR with the solution. Kindly take a look. Thank You

[techno-disaster]
