AGP 8 / Gradle 8 builds broken due to outdated isar_flutter_libs dependency

[HedyHidouRy]

Hi Sendbird team,

We are using sendbird_chat_sdk in our Flutter project and recently migrated to Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) 8. AGP 8 requires every library to specify a namespace in its android {} block. However, isar_flutter_libs—which sendbird_chat_sdk depends on—has not been updated in 21 months and doesn’t define this property, causing my builds to fail with:

> Namespace not specified. Please specify a namespace in the module's build.gradle file.

Would you be able to:

• Patch your dependency on isar_flutter_libs so it’s compatible with AGP 8?

This issue is blocking our Flutter project from using the latest Android build tools. A quick patch or guidance on a workaround would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi Sendbird team,

We're encountering the same issue after upgrading to AGP 8—our Flutter project build fails due to isar_flutter_libs not specifying a namespace. Since sendbird_chat_sdk depends on this outdated package, we're currently blocked from building our app with the latest Android tooling.

This is quite urgent for us as it prevents us from keeping up with current Android requirements. We would really appreciate a prompt fix or any suggested workaround.

Thanks in advance!
