Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources' error after updating to Flutter 2.5.3 - flutter

Question

I have just updated to Flutter 2.5.3 having not updated for some time.
I see no issues with running flutter doctor but on running app get the following error. I have limited experience with updating to new versions and would be grateful for any help. Thank you
On running app:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.

app\build.gradle is as follows. I understand that there may be multiple issues and can update with any additional code as required. Thanks

def localPropertiesFile = rootProject.file('local.properties')

}

if (flutterRoot == null) {

I resolved this by upgrading gradle version by updating build.gradle
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.1'
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.3'
}
Also required gradle-wrapper properties to be udated with:
