• If you are using smoother ecosystem migration then re-check the version(s) of the plugin.
• Replace x's and y's with recomended version numbers (for example as of 10 May 2020 the version(s) of shared preferences must be like '>=0.5.7+1' <2.0.0).
• Check if your intendation is correct (in the screenshot the shared_preferences dependency must be aligned to flutter i.e. not within the flutter block). e.g.

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter
  shared_prefrences: '>=0.5.7+1 <2.0.0' # note the intendation

Try changing the class path gradle version 1.0.0 build gradle in Android
By changing the gradle version (which is shown in the screenshot as required) in the distribution URL in gradle-wrapper.properties (in project → app → gradle → wrapper → gradle-wrapper.properties)

• Check if you have dart plugin installed from VSCodium / VSCode marketpace.
• If yes simply close and reopen the file you're working on.
• Try to remove all the errors in your code.
