To downgrade Flutter to a specific version, you can follow these steps:

1. Check Available Versions

2. Downgrade Using Flutter Version Command

If you installed Flutter using the flutter command-line tool, you can switch to a specific version by running:

   flutter downgrade <version>

Replace <version> with the specific version you want (e.g., 3.10.5).


3. Manually Checkout a Specific Version

If flutter downgrade does not work or you need a more precise control, follow these steps:

#### a. Navigate to Your Flutter Installation Directory Find where Flutter is installed on your system. For example:

#### b. Switch to the Specified Version Use Git to checkout the desired version. Run the following commands:

   cd <flutter-directory>
   git fetch
   git checkout <version>

Replace <flutter-directory> with the path to your Flutter installation and <version> with the version number or Git commit hash (e.g., 3.10.5 or v3.10.5).

#### c. Verify Flutter Now run flutter doctor -v command so flutter will download the stuff related to the particular version:

   flutter doctor

4. Downgrade Using Flutter Version Management Tools (Optional)

Use tools like FVM (Flutter Version Manager) for easier version management:

    dart pub global activate fvm
    
  2. Install a specific Flutter version:
    fvm install <version>
    
  3. Use the installed version in your project:
    fvm use <version>
    

5. Verify the Downgrade

Confirm the version of Flutter you’re using by running:

   flutter --version

These methods should help you downgrade Flutter to any specific version.
