Compatibility with AGP 9 will be resolved once there is an official green light from the Flutter team.
As mentioned in the https://docs.flutter.dev/release/breaking-changes/migrate-to-agp-9 :

Current status: Please do not update your Flutter app for Android to AGP 9. Flutter apps using plugins are currently incompatible with AGP 9: Issue #181383. This support is paused while the Flutter team audits the migration for backwards compatibility with older versions of AGP.
