Just to add that after submitting the issue i saw there is update.
I've update the plugin to package_info_plus-1.0.2 but still the same warning is thrown on: flutter build appbundle

[PhilipPurwoko]

Have you add this in your res/xml folder ?

plus_plugins/packages/share_plus/android/src/main/res/xml/flutter_share_file_paths.xml

Lines 1 to 4 in a6303da

	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
	<paths>
	<cache-path name="cache" path="share_plus/" />
	</paths>

[PhilipPurwoko]

I change the minSdkVersion from 17 to 21 in app/src/build.gradle and works perfectly

android {
    compileSdkVersion 30

    sourceSets {
        main.java.srcDirs += 'src/main/kotlin'
    }

    defaultConfig {
        // TODO: Specify your own unique Application ID (https://developer.android.com/studio/build/application-id.html).
        applicationId "com.example.flutproject"
        minSdkVersion 21
        targetSdkVersion 30
        versionCode flutterVersionCode.toInteger()
        versionName flutterVersionName
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            // TODO: Add your own signing config for the release build.
            // Signing with the debug keys for now, so `flutter run --release` works.
            signingConfig signingConfigs.debug
        }
    }
}

[MikeMnD]

@PhilipPurwoko I tried with minSdkVersion 21 and still the same warning about Deprecated API

Not sure where exactly should i put this? In res folder there aren't any file except AndroidManifest?

[MikeMnD]

I've noticed something else, if i run: flutter clean && flutter build appbundle --release

In res folder should contain app launcher icon and you can add new xml folder then put those xml I specified above just like the example repository I mention. Also the AndroidManifest should be inside the main directory not the res directory. main directory is one level above the res directory

[MikeMnD]

Ок, I've created the xml in the specified folder, but there isn't any diference.
Also yes my mistake the AndroidManifest is in the main folder and not the res.

Could you test it on your side with:
flutter clean && flutter build appbundle --release

especially with flutter clean &&

[PhilipPurwoko]

@MikeMnD Yes, I have tried flutter clean and flutter build before. But not using the && statement. I do it separately. I run flutter clean first, then run flutter pub get then the build command. Please try run flutter pub get after flutter clean, and see the result when run build command.

[MikeMnD]

I've update all plugins and info_plus to 1.0.3 still this is the result:

@MikeMnD Interesting. I don't have more information for you. But, did you have tried to change the compileSdkVersion to30 in app/src/build.gradle
