#Flutter added support for foldable devices on Android. This required adding an AndroidX dependency to the Flutter embedding that requires apps to use Kotlin 1.5.31 or greater.
Description of change
#A Flutter app compiled for Android now includes the Gradle dependency androidx.window:window-java.
Migration guide
#Open <app-src>/android/build.gradle, and change ext.kotlin_version:
groovy
