After following several possible fixes from the stackoverflow community, i still couldn't get it to work. Please i need assistance.

Solution

Here's what worked for me

Fix 1:

• Launch Android studio & Open the SDK manager (Top-right of Android studio)
• Navigate to SDK Tab and look for Android SDK Platform-Tools
• If it's checked, unchecked it and click 'Apply' (We're trying to uninstall the previous version)
• Now the "SDK Tools" is uninstalled. Let's re-install it by checking the box and clicking 'Apply'
• Hit Ok & Restart Android studio
• Navigate to SDK install location at %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk for windows, you should see a new folder tools Note: If you don't see the tools folder don't panic, i got you covered.
• Open the tools folder & navigate to bin
• Copy the folder path (i.e C:\Users\USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools\bin)
• Add that path to Environmental variables
• Now you should have access to sdkmanager in the command-line. Try it out by typing sdkmanager & hitting enter in CMD.
• If you get 'sdkmanager' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. you probably made a mistake while adding the path to System Environmental Variables. Fix that.
• Go to Flutter sdk folder (i.e c:/src/flutter) & launch the flutter_console.bat file
• Now type the command flutter doctor --android-licenses and it should work. Accept all by typing y and hitting ENTER
• And don't forget to run flutter doctor

Fix 2:

PS: Only if Fix 1 does not work for you!

• Open your browser & goto Command line tools only (bottom of the page)
• Download the appropriate package for your platform
• Unzip it & Yes! You should see the tools folder

• After extraction, copy the tools folder to C:\Users\USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk

  Now the same as Fix 1 above,

• Open the tools folder & navigate to bin

• Copy the folder path (i.e C:\Users\USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools\bin)
• Add that path to Environmental variables
• Now you should have access to sdkmanager in the command-line. Try it out by typing sdkmanager & hitting enter in CMD.
• If you get 'sdkmanager' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. you probably made a mistake while adding the path to System Environmental Variables. Fix that.
• NO you're not done
• The SDK Platform tools you downloaded is probably outdated (as you can see when you run the sdkmanager command from the command-line)
• Now let's handover to Android Studio to do the rest. Restart Android Studio, so it can recognize the tools folder you added.
• After Restart, Android Studio should automatically detect the outdated Platform-tools and prompt you to update (You must be connected to the internet!).
• IF UPDATE PROMPT DOES NOT SHOW UP
• Open SDK Manager in Android studio,
• Go to UPDATES
• Click Check Now
• And you should get the PROMPT to update Platform-Tools

Fix 3:

• Do everything in Fix 2
• Open Environmental Variables, Create a new Variable JAVA_HOME and set the value to the JRE/bin (get it from Android studio install location in Program Files)
• Open the command line type set JAVA_OPTS='-XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions --add-modules java.se.ee' for windows & export JAVA_OPTS='-XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions --add-modules java.se.ee' for Linux

And that's it you can now run flutter doctor --android-licenses on the command-line; Accept all licenses by typing y and hitting ENTER. And don't forget to run flutter doctor

THAT'S THE FIX. I HOPE IT WORKS FOR YOU TOO
