*The project level build.gradle :*


allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

rootProject.buildDir = '../build'
subprojects {
    project.buildDir = "${rootProject.buildDir}/${project.name}"
}
subprojects {
    project.evaluationDependsOn(':app')
}

tasks.register("clean", Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

What is line 15 in /home/anani/Documents/dev/flutter/AppLockFlutter/android/build.gradle?
What does `--stacktrace` say? 
Can you share a build `--scan` URL?
