How to fix app:lint error when building flutter app?

For some reason, all of a sudden my app cannot build anymore. First I had flutter devtools problem, then I upgraded to Flutter 2.8.1 and now my app cannot build. I tried upgrading Gradle to 7.3.3 and JDK 17 and still, my app cannot build, I searched the whole GitHub and StackOverflow and cannot find a solution.

This was my first error:

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugMainManifest'.
←[33m> ←[39mUnable to make field private final java.lang.String java.io.File.path accessible: module java.base does not "opens java.io" to unnamed module @27ec650

Which I fixed by adding:

--add-exports=java.base/sun.nio.ch=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.lang.reflect=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.io=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=jdk.unsupported/sun.misc=ALL-UNNAMED

to gradle.properties.

But now when I try to build I get another error:

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:lint'.
←[33m> ←[39mLint found errors in the project; aborting build.

  Fix the issues identified by lint, or add the following to your build script to proceed with errors:
  ...
  android {
      lintOptions {
          abortOnError false
      }
  }
  ...
  Errors found:

  ...androidappsrcmainAndroidManifest.xml:5: Error: Class referenced in the manifest, com.example.my_app.${applicationName}, was not found in the project or the libraries [MissingClass]
          android:name="${applicationName}"
                        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
