Flutter-geolocator: Can't compile in my app.

🐛 Bug Report

I've tried using this in my app but can not compile. I tried by using "geolocator: ^5.3.1" in pubspec.yaml but since I got these errors I downloaded the source along with the source for the package "location_permissions" which compiled no problem when I opened the app directly and ran the examples. But when I add it into my Android app I get this.

Some kind of issue with using location_permissions package.

i've put the following code inside root build.gradle:

ext {
    compileSdkVersion = 29
}

subprojects { subproject ->
    afterEvaluate{
        if((subproject.plugins.hasPlugin('android') || subproject.plugins.hasPlugin('android-library'))) {
            android {
                compileSdkVersion rootProject.ext.compileSdkVersion
            }
        }
    }
}

And in app build.gradle:

android {
    compileSdkVersion rootProject.ext.compileSdkVersion
}

It worked for me!

Worked for me too! Thanks!
