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.
Gradle build(app):

}
}
allprojects {

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That version of Android Studio appears rather outdated; eg.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!).
Task :app:mergeExtDexDebug
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugKotlin'.
Compilation error. See log for more details

25 actionable tasks: 23 executed, 2 up-to-date
and you can't migrate back even if you want to.
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.

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 {
compileSdkVersion 31
buildToolsVersion "30.0.2"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.nathan.digipizza"

}

}
}
compileOptions {

targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
buildFeatures {
dataBinding true
}
}
dependencies {

def room_version = "2.3.0"
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.4.0-rc01'
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.4.0'
implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.1.1'

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.

Different errors with Gradle each time I tried most, common: ':app:processDebugManifest' (type 'ProcessMultiApkApplicationManifest')

What i tried to do was:
Tried Gradle version: 6.5.1 and Gradle Plugin: 4.1.3
Tried Gradle version: 6.5.0 and Gradle Plugin: 4.1.0
Tried Gradle version: 6.7.1 and Gradle Plugin: 4.2.0
https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin
Deleting "intermediates" in the build.
Changing the version min and max and target in the gradle;
[Copy] all the Classes and [Paste] in a new project.
Sometimes I believe that the error is not in the gradle but in the "room" libraries that I implemented, but the code seems to be according to the notes.Is there something that i must change?

In the end i found a Gradle and plugin that worked was:
Android Gradle plugin Version: 4.0.0
Gradle Version: 6.1.1
But i don't know if has something to do with the building but i found some bugs in the classes room, and it seems the builder was giving message error of the build process not the classes with the bugs.

I have encountered similar errors. My projects were on an SD card with FAT32 file system. The problem with this is that FAT32 does not support symbolic links.
Try not to store gradle projects on an SD card or any storage with a FAT32 file system.

I have tried with this version, I have followed the documentation, the jet news example and everything but I cant compile the project, what I'm doing wrong ?

I have missmatched the compileOptions
composeOptions {
kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion kotlin_version
kotlinCompilerVersion compose_version
}
should be
composeOptions {
kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion compose_version
kotlinCompilerVersion kotlin_version
}
