flutter build appbundle --release build last night is now failing with no project changes.

If you are looking for help, please confirm the following...

• I confirm I have searched the Docs, Codemagic Sample Projects, and GitHub Discussions.
• I confirm the software versions on my local computer match the ones in CI environment (e.g. Xcode version, Gradle version). See here
• I confirm I am able to do a fresh clone of the repository and build the project on my local computer.

Which mobile framework are you using?

Flutter (Dart)

Steps to reproduce

1. have compile sdk version set to 34 in build.gradle
2. in gradle-wrapper.properties have distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.5-all.zip
3. flutter version is 3.24
4. build on mac os virtual machine
5. flutter build appbundle --release

note: i noticed that android-34 is not present in /usr/local/share/android-sdk/platforms/

Expected results

build successful.
Last night was working at 10pm GMT
still can build locally, no changes to the repo.
re-ran a successful workflow and it failed today as well

Actual results

Hello @jackdunne2345,
I found a recent issue in the Flutter repo related to this: flutter/flutter#164362. You mentioned that this works locally; what version of Flutter are you using locally? Can you use the same version on Codemagic as well? Also, in the thread, it seems it doesn't reproduce on version 3.27. Can you please try using version 3.27.1 of Flutter while we wait for the patch to be released?
