Gradle Build Failure and Deprecated Plugin Usage in Wonderous

[rzambroni]

We are testing Wonderous with Flutter Stable (3.19.5) and Master with Android Studio JellyFish RC1 and encountering issues trying to build the app.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Clone the Wonderous app repository from GitHub - gskinnerTeam/flutter-wonderous-app: A showcase app for the Flutter SDK. Wonderous will educate and entertain as you uncover information about some of the most famous structures in the world. .

2. Open Android Studio Jellyfish | 2023.3.1 RC 1.

3. Attempt to build the Wonderous app using Flutter master 3.21.0-12.0.pre.6 or stable 3.19.5.

Expected Result:

The Wonderous app should build successfully without any warnings or errors.

Actual Result:

Encounter the following issues:
