Solution

The problem is caused by missing .iml project files. These files are added automatically to the .gitignore file but they should not. To fix it:

Delete .idea folder.
Create a new temporary Flutter project with the same name.
Copy from the project to your existing project these 2 missing files:

[project_name].iml
android/[project_name]_android.iml

Open Android Studio and the problem should be gone.
