I've resolved this issue (for now by configuring flutter to use Java 17).

It looks like Android Studio update installed Java 21 and by running: flutter create .
I could see...

The configured version of Java detected may conflict with the Gradle version in your new Flutter app.

[RECOMMENDED] If so, to keep the default Gradle version 8.3, make
sure to download a compatible Java version
(Java 17 <= compatible Java version < Java 21).
You may configure this compatible Java version by running:
`flutter config --jdk-dir=<JDK_DIRECTORY>`
Note that this is a global configuration for Flutter.


Alternatively, to continue using your configured Java version, update the Gradle
version specified in the following file to a compatible Gradle version (compatible Gradle version range: 8.4 - 8.7):
/Users/hamishnorton/factory/flutter3244/android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties

You may also update the Gradle version used by running
`./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version=<COMPATIBLE_GRADLE_VERSION>`.

See
https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/compatibility.html#java for details
on compatible Java/Gradle versions, and see
https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/gradle_wrapper.html#sec:upgrading_wrapper
for more details on using the Gradle Wrapper command to update the Gradle version
used.

I installed Java 17 from
https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/?os=mac&arch=any&version=17

Check it installed with:
/usr/libexec/java_home -V

And set the flutter JDK directory with:
flutter config --jdk-dir=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-17.jdk/Contents/Home

Upon running flutter doctor -v it shows Java 17.
And on running flutter create --platform=android . the message has gone.
And I can now launch the app.

What I am unsure about is that...

Comes with Java 21 and this causes an issue for the mixpanel_flutter package.
I've avoided the problem be pointing my flutter installation to Java 17 for now.

though the package seems to work in the stable channel it does not in the beta channel, when the beta channel gets promoted to stable mixpanel will become unusable
