deprecated version of Android embedding -- migrate to V2 embedding

[tgrushka]

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to flutter (mainly experienced in iOS Swift, Ruby, and JavaScript -- but dabbled in some Flutter examples). Want to build a cross-platform app in Flutter without reinventing the wheel/starting from scratch. This starter app is a really awesome idea and you guys have some amazing docs and presentation -- thanks for doing this!

I just cloned this today and am getting an error that the Android embedding version has been deprecated. If it's only for Firebase, I don't plan to use that anyway, as I plan to build my own REST API backend. However, I have absolutely no idea about this architecture! It would be awesome if this template could possibly be fixed/updated to use the new embedding API. Or, could it be something on my end? I'm running an M1 MacBook Pro with the following Flutter:

flutter doctor                    04/9 12:13:37

This is my run output:

This app is using a deprecated version of the Android embedding.
To avoid unexpected runtime failures, or future build failures, try to
migrate this app to the V2 embedding.
Take a look at the docs for migrating an app:
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/wiki/Upgrading-pre-1.12-Android-projects
The plugin `cloud_firestore` requires your app to be migrated to the
Android embedding v2. Follow the steps on
https://flutter.dev/go/android-project-migration and re-run this command.

I had this same problem, and went to the suggested page.

I was at least able to get flutter run to not fail by editing
 
android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
 
As shown in that file, replacing
android:name="io.flutter.app.FlutterApplication"
With
android:name="${applicationName}"
 
The other part of that upgrade apparently is to apply to
android/app/src/main/java/[your/package/name]/MainActivity.java
Which does not exist in this project, so presumably doesn't need to be changed
