[Flutter] Flutter AndroidManifest.xml Error: package identifier or launch activity not found

I'm working on a Flutter project for Android and encountered an error related to the AndroidManifest.xml file. When trying to run my project, I receive the following error message:

package identifier or launch activity not found. Please check /Users/[user]/AndroidStudioProjects/[project]/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml for errors.
No application found for TargetPlatform.android_arm64.
Is your project missing an android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml? Consider running "flutter create ." to create one.


I've checked my AndroidManifest.xml, and it seems correct. The error persists even after ensuring that the package name and target platform are set correctly.

Can someone please provide guidance on how to resolve this issue? What could be causing this error, and what steps should I take to troubleshoot and fix it?
