I got the following error when trying to switch to an older version (1.17.4) from my current version (Flutter 1.20.1 • channel stable).
> flutter downgrade
There is no previously recorded version for channel "stable".
Channel "beta" was previously on: 1.17.0-dev.3.1
flutter downgrade is the recommended way for switching versions instead of the deprecated flutter version command. However, there's no documentation I may refer to how it is used.
