[Flutter] Flutter build error: "invalid source release: 17" when building app bundle

I'm encountering an issue while trying to build an Android app bundle (appbundle) for release in my Flutter project on Android studio. I'm getting the following error message:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task 'ackage_info_plus:compileReleaseJavaWithJavac'.
> error: invalid source release: 17


Here's some details of my setup:

Java Home:

/usr/libexec/java_home -V

I have been facing this issue after upgrading to macOS Sonoma 14.4.1, and I'm using an M3 Mac.

I've tried various solutions from stack overflow Execution Failed for task :app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac in Android Studio
