Animations in Compose not working after dependency updates

After updating Compose to be able to use Modifier.blur, I got errors which were resolved after updating other dependencies. But now two animations I use (AnimateDpAsState and AnimatedVisibility) does not work.
I get the following error while building in release mode and it still builds successfully. No errors on debug mode.
lifecycle-runtime-ktx_release.kotlin_module: Module was compiled with an incompatible version of Kotlin. The binary version of its metadata is 1.8.0, expected version is 1.6.0.
I am pretty sure the problem lies in the gradle files so please take a look.

I updated dependencies highlighted by Android Studio and Compose and was expecting it to work as it was with the new versions. No extra dependencies were added nor was the code modified.

How do I make kapt gradle task showing errors in Kotlin code instead of generated Java code?

I'm using kapt for hilt and room. Whenever there is an error related to those libraries, kapt show me all errors in the generated Java code. How do I make it to show errors in Kotlin code instead?
This is what it looks like in Android studio.
Just to clarify. It works fine for a valid code. But when there is a mistake (like a missing #Entity annotation on an actual entity class) I want it to point the error in Kotlin code, not in generated Java code.
Here is my project's build.gradle:
plugins {
id 'com.android.application' version '7.4.1' apply false
id 'com.android.library' version '7.4.1' apply false
id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.6.10' apply false
id 'com.google.dagger.hilt.android' version '2.44' apply false
id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.kapt' version "1.6.10" apply false
}
And the app's build.gradle:

I've tried clearing Android Studio caches, rebuild and sync it a ton of times, lovered rooms version, but still no luck. It's basicaly just a project generated from Compose template. Plus I added room and hilt dependencies that I've added on top of it.

Module was compiled with an incompatible version of Kotlin. The binary version of its metadata is 1.7.1, expected version is 1.5.1 error in compose

I am using Google map for my app with jetpack compose I implemented these dependencies

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:18.0.2'

The following might help you out:
Obs! Have you followed the implementation of google maps correctly ? This includes created a google cloud account for the API key and implementations of it ?
Update compose to the latest version:
compose_version = "1.3.0-beta02"
Change:
kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion = "1.2.0"
Change the plugin to:
id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.7.0' apply false
You need to make sure you have all dependencies:
a) Add this to you app.gradle file:
id 'com.google.gms.google-services'
id 'com.google.android.libraries.mapsplatform.secrets-gradle-plugin'
b) In build.gradle Project:
id 'com.google.android.libraries.mapsplatform.secrets-gradle-plugin' version '2.0.1' apply false
Let me know if this resolved your problem!

in ext block of project level gradle file change compose version like this :-
compose_version = '1.1.0-rc03'
and add this to the dependency in the same file like this
dependencies {
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.6.10"
}
it worked for me and I hope it will work for every one
explanation:- basically here I just change compose version to the latest version and I change kotlin version according to the compose version support here is the full documentation.

Android Studio - How to upgrade jetpack compose?

I am currently using Android studio (2021.2.1 Patch 2). On choosing empty compose activity, the compose version being used is 1.1.0-beta01 .How can I upgrade it to 1.2.0-beta01 as the earlier one gives error while using LazyVerticalGrid? I am beginner to android. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the app/build.gradle file of the project :
plugins {
id 'com.android.application'
id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android'
}
android {
compileSdk 32
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.courses"

}
}
compileOptions {

}
kotlinOptions {
jvmTarget = '1.8'
}
buildFeatures {

}
composeOptions {
kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion compose_version
}
packagingOptions {
resources {

debugImplementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling:$compose_version"
debugImplementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-test-manifest:$compose_version"
}
Toplevel build.gradle file :
buildscript {
ext {
compose_version = '1.1.0-beta01'
}
}// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
plugins {
id 'com.android.application' version '7.2.2' apply false
id 'com.android.library' version '7.2.2' apply false
id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.5.31' apply false
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
I have tried changing compose version in toplevel build.gradle file to 1.2.0-beta01 but the build of the project fails.
Please specify in comments if you need some more information.
Thanks

Without seeing the compilation error message I can only guess at what might be the cause. But I see a couple of things that might give you problems.
The Compose Compiler for 1.2.0-beta01 requires Kotlin Plugin version 1.6.21 See Compose Kotlin Compatibility Map
Additionally, from version 1.2.0 onwards they've introduced independent versioning for Compose Compiler from the rest of the Compose libraries, meaning that kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion needs to point to a different version. As of right now the latest compiler version is 1.3.1 which needs kotlin plugin version 1.7.10.
Try these changes.
ext {
compose_version = '1.3.0-beta02' // or 1.2.1 if you want the latest stable version
}
composeOptions {
kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion "1.3.1"
}
plugins {
// others omitted
id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.7.10' apply false
}

Make sure to upgrade your version of Compose to the latest stable version which is 1.1.0-rc03
If your project consists of multiple modules, make sure that all of them are using the same version of Compose.
