Kotlin library was complied with a newer Kotlin compiler and can't be read

Hello I tried to run Kotlin file on Android Studio (version 4.1) and I got an error:
Kotlin library {0} was compiled with a newer Kotlin compiler and can't be read. Please update Kotlin plugin.
Even I got this error I'm able to run kotlin files but Ide don't gives me tips when I use kotlin functions and methods are marked by red colour. Kotlin version in gradle is 1.6.0, if I'm return to older version I can see tips about method names and red colour is not showed.

Does anyon know how to resolve that issue ?

Besides Kotlin version 1.6.21 ...
That version of Android Studio appears rather outdated; eg. the current version "Chipmunk" uses:
com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.2.1
jcenter() should be replaced with mavenCentral().
And also, use JavaVersion.VERSION_11.

I have similar problem. To solve this, I do the following things:
I try to Rebuild the project, then this error log appear:
The minCompileSdk (32) specified in a
dependency's AAR metadata (META-INF/com/android/build/gradle/aar-metadata.properties)
is greater than this module's compileSdkVersion (android-31).
Dependency: androidx.appcompat:appcompat-resources:1.5.0.
AAR metadata file: C:\Users..........
Lower androidx.appcompat:appcompat version to 1.4.0, and then sync gradle. That's it.
Maybe you can try this way.

Next to isssue popup i selected "Details" link and there was information about expected version. Probably because I'm using older Android studio I got the problem. I updated Kotlin in gradle build to: 1.4.32 according to message.

Problems with android Compose

I am trying to work through a tutorial on android compose. It works well while I use:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.5.31, but the android studio has updated to :kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.6.10, and when I try running the program again it doesn't compile. I don't understand what the problem is. but even in the original run with the old version, I get the following message:
w: ATTENTION!
This build uses unsafe internal compiler arguments:
-XXLanguage:+NonParenthesizedAnnotationsOnFunctionalTypes
This mode is not recommended for production use,
as no stability/compatibility guarantees are given on
compiler or generated code. Use it at your own risk!
when I try the new version it tells me that I must migrate the code, but when I do this I get the following message:
e: This version (1.0.5) of the Compose Compiler requires Kotlin version 1.5.31 but you appear to be using Kotlin version 1.6.10 which is not known to be compatible. Please fix your configuration (or suppressKotlinVersionCompatibilityCheck but don't say I didn't warn you!).

I don't know what to do with this or how to proceed forward.

I managed to find out that the right compos version for kotlin 1.6.10 is 1.2.0-alpha01, but I still get the message that this is not a stable version and should not be production use. But at least my program runs again.

Finally, Figure out and fix the issue to run compose version
Currently Stable version 1.1.0
So here is my code for build.gradle(Project:app)
buildscript {
ext {
compose_version = '1.1.0'
}
dependencies {
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
plugins {
id 'com.android.application' version '7.1.1' apply false
id 'com.android.library' version '7.1.1' apply false
id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.6.10' apply false
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
build.gradle(Module)
plugins {
id 'com.android.application'
id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android'
}
android {
compileSdk 32
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.dreammeanings"
minSdk 21
targetSdk 32
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
vectorDrawables {
useSupportLibrary true
}
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
kotlinOptions {
jvmTarget = '1.8'
}
buildFeatures {
compose true
}
composeOptions {
kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion compose_version
}
packagingOptions {
resources {
excludes += '/META-INF/{AL2.0,LGPL2.1}'
}
}
}
dependencies {
implementation 'androidx.core:core-ktx:1.7.0'
implementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui:$compose_version"
implementation "androidx.compose.material:material:$compose_version"
implementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling-preview:$compose_version"
implementation 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-runtime-ktx:2.4.1'
implementation 'androidx.activity:activity-compose:1.4.0'
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.13.2'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.3'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.4.0'
androidTestImplementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-test-junit4:$compose_version"
debugImplementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling:$compose_version"
}

In my case i specified kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion for composeOptions in build.gradle of the app module and error fixed:
build.gradle(app)
android {
composeOptions { kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion = "your compose version"}
}

I think your problem is with the version of Compose and Kotlin.
A few days ago, I encountered a similar error, and after updating the Kotlin and Compose versions, my problem was fixed.
First of all change composeOptions:
composeOptions {
kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion compose_version
//kotlinCompilerVersion '1.5.31' the old version
kotlinCompilerVersion '1.6.21'
}
then update all your dependencies versions
dependencies {
implementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling:$compose_version"
.
.
.
}
then add this classpaths to gradle dependencies
dependencies {
//the older version of kotlin
//classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.5.31"
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.6.21"
.
.
.
}
At the end, i think this is an version compatibility issue between Kotlin and compose libraries.
You just need to update your dependencies.
Note : the $compose_version that i used in the dependencies is an variable in buildscript
buildscript {
ext {
kotlin_version = "1.6.21"
//compose_version = '1.0.5'
compose_version = '1.2.0-rc01'
}
.
.
.
}
I hope it helps you to solve your problem.

Error: Could not parse the Android application Module's Gradle Config. Resolve or resync (no repositories in build gradle app)

I am trying to setup Firebase in my android project. I am getting this error:enter image description here
Could not parse the Android Application Module's Gradle config. Resolve gradle build issues and/or resync.
Been looking for fixes online, most of them are removing jcenter() in build.gradle file. I don't have jcenter() or any other repository in my build.gradle.
I have tried to follow manual from Firebase but then things get even more messy.
Is there maybe problem with my android studio version?
I am using Android Studio Arctic Fox | 2020.3.1 Patch 4.

Any help appreciated.

I had the same problem as you, i searched and i found the steps to follow on the website of Firebase. I hope it works for you as well.

actually you can change the compileSdk to 31, or you can keep it 32 but you need to change the Gradle Wrapper to
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.0.2-bin.zip
that workes with me, I hope it will with you also

I'm facing same problem. I tried nearly 2 days to solve it. Just remove your
testImplementation 'junit:junit:'
from build.gradle(module) dependency and sync again. This is worked for me.

Just change the compileSdk from 32 to 31. No need to remove any dependency.

remove this line
testImplementation 'junit:junit:'

I Have tried all the solutions above.
The problem with people like me was not updating the software.
Click Help > Check for Updates > Update the software
It will take time and the whole software will be updated
it will ask for Restart >for safety (Build a new project ) > Get the
Gradle version upgraded (it will take time)> check for connecting
FIREBASE.
file> project structure> upgrade 7.x.x
Mine got connected.
Hope this helps

Failed Android build - unable to find Guava repository

I'm trying to compile an Android app and the Gradle build is failing. The project is in Java but does have Room code as well, which I believe is where the issue is arising from. The build is unable to find the Guava repository at www.google.com:guava:23.6-Android even though this file has been added as a dependency.
The initial result build fail looks like this:
Could not find com.google.guava:guava:23.6-android.
Required by:
project :App
The project-level build file:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
google()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.3'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
google()
}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
The app level build file contains the following:
plugins {
id 'com.android.application'
}
android {

buildToolsVersion "30.0.2"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.nathan.digipizza"

androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.3'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.4.0'
annotationProcessor 'androidx.room:room-compiler:2.3.0'
}
It is difficult to post the entire dependency tree since I'm still unable to post screen images. But the repository in question, com.google.guava:guava:23.6-android, is not listed as a dependency for any other files, and its entry in the tree for the release variant reflects this fact as it is situated furthest left on the tree as follows:
+--- com.google.guava:guava:23.6-android FAILED
This repository only appears once in the dependency tree, furthermost to the left.
The com.google.guava:guava:23.6-android repository has an updated version to 30.1-android. I did update the version, but the error remains and everything is the same as above except version 30.1-android replaces version 23.6-android.
I need to figure out how to resolve the build error, which I'll post here again for ease of use:
Could not find com.google.guava:guava:23.6-android.
Required by:
project :app
I don't understand how the build is failing to see this repository when it has been added as a dependency, and there doesn't appear to be any complications apparent by analyzing the dependency tree.

DexArchiveMergerException only on release

I developed an app that uses a swagger-generated Java client. The client is in a project called "api", while the app is in a project called "app".
When I build the app via Build/Make Project everything works fine. Also, when I try to run the app on an emulated or physical device Run/Run 'app'. Running with debugger works as well. Even when I build the project via Buid/Generate Signed Bundle/APK and choose the debug option, it works.
Now. The build fails when I try to create a signed release build. The following messages show:
Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveMergerException: Error while merging dex archives: [...]\app\build\intermediates\transforms\dexBuilder\release\54, [...]\app\build\intermediates\transforms\externalLibsDexMerger\release\0, [...]\app\build\intermediates\transforms\dexBuilder\release\52.jar, [...]\app\build\intermediates\transforms\dexBuilder\release\53.jar

Caused by: com.android.tools.r8.CompilationFailedException: Compilation failed to complete
Caused by: com.android.tools.r8.utils.AbortException: Error: Program type already present: io.swagger.client.ApiCallback
I am pretty new to developing with Android Studio and Gradle. I tried some solutions on Stack Overflow that already suggested to add some libraries but so far none of them worked with my problem.
To me, its especially suspicious that the last error message points to io.swagger.client.ApiCallback.
Could it have anything to do with the fact that both settings.gradle for "api" and "app" have the same content? Both look like this:
rootProject.name = "swagger-java-client". This is the only line in the file, but as far as I know, the settings.gradle for "app" already hat that content. I cant remember changing it so its odd to me that it shows "swagger-java-client". Is that normal?
Update 1
ProGuard has been mentioned in the comments to might be a problem. This is the only occurrence I could find, referencing it. In my build.gradle for the "app"-project, there is this part:
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
However, removing it did not change anything.
Update 2
When searching for "io.swagger" AS only finds this:
When searhing for "io.swagger.client.ApiCallback" AS only finds this:
Update 3
As suggested, I tried adding
android {
defaultConfig {
multiDexEnabled true
}
}
and adding android.enableD8 = false but that didn't help either.
Here are my build.gradle-Files (the first ones that caused the problems, without the suggested corrections I've tried so far.)

Here are some workaround :
Can you please make sure you have multiDexEnabled set to true as shown below in your gradle settings:
android {
defaultConfig {
multiDexEnabled true
}
}
Try android.enableD8 = false in grade.properties

Caused by: com.android.tools.r8.utils.AbortException: Error: Program type already present: io.swagger.client.ApiCallback
Means there are multiple dependencies contain this class, maybe different versions, so you need to exclude them.
Press shift twice, search io.swagger, then record the found jar files.
If these jar files are simply duplicated, keep 1 in build.gradle.
If these jar files are modules of other dependency, enter gradlew -q app:dependencies in the terminal, find the root dependency names.
In build.gradle, choose 1 dependency to keep, for others add exclude command.
For example change
implementation 'xxx:xxx'
to
implementation ('xxx:xxx') { exclude module 'module-name-to-be-excluded' }
UPDATE
Some options to try:
Change build variants of both modules to release, then Build\Build APK
If success, copy the text from Gradle Console.
Next Build\Generate Signed APK...
Compare the text in Gradle Console with the above one to check the difference.

I've found the answer to my question:
What I did was to create the swagger client, move the created folder into my project, adjust the settings.gradle file and the build.gradle file accordingly.
What went wrong
The way I configured things, gradle would build the ´api´ project and then the app project.
For some reason, when I configured things as release, the app project referenced the code of the api project, as well as the resulting .jar file. Thats where the Program type already present came from.
How I fixed it
Exclude the api project from the app project
Build api seperately
Take the resulting .jarfile and put it in a folder inside your app folder called libs
Put this line in your gradle dependencies for your build.gradle (Module: app): implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
This included the finished .jarfile in the appproject and now I can build release. This should be done regardless, because the swagger client shouldnt be edited anyway, as it is generated code. So even just to not always build that part of the project, this should be done.
However, I still dont fully understand why there is this difference between the releaseand the debugbuild. Would be glad for any insight to that.
EDIT: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I just found out: if, for some reason, I would have wanted to keep the Module: api in my project I could have done so by removing the two dependencies in my Module: appthat start with implementation fileTree.
The api-project is already included by the dependency api project(path: ':api'). The filetree-lines were the ones causing the problem here, since they were redundant.
However, still no idea why there is a difference between debug and release
