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.

}
}
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That version of Android Studio appears rather outdated; eg.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.

Some Kotlin libraries attached to this project were read by a newer Kotlin compiler and can't be read. Please update Kotlin Plugin

I am facing an error:

I would appreciate any help. Thank You!

You need to update almost everything, I believe.
currently for Gradle we have
com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.2.1
coming to Kotlin, the current version is 1.6.21
repository jcenter() is deprecated and has been replaced by mavenCentral()
If you try to use jcenter() it will give a warning
JCenter Maven repository is no longer receiving updates: newer library versions may be available elsewhere
Also, check if there are any updates available for Android Studio.

Earlier I had the same error on Android Studio. If by changing the kotlin-version and gradle-version in the build.gradle file does not fixes the error. It might be because you have an older version and need to update the Android Studio [File -> Settings -> Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings -> Updates -> ' then Change to the latest stable version']. Later during the installation process, you would see the option to upgrade the gradle where you can choose the latest version. It worked for me. Hope it helps!

1- update the android studio by clicking the tab named help and then click "check for update" and then let the android studio be updated.
2 - restart the android studio if the error is resolved then it's well and good if not, then click on the tab "New", click on "New project" and then select project, and check the box highlighted here in the below picture.
click here to see the image
this worked for me

update android studio to the lastest version

only need to del these
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.4'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.5.0'

Gradle Error in Android Studio upon first installing

I recently began using Android Studio and was trying to follow the "First App" tutorial (https://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/). When I create a new project in Android Studio, however, I am almost immediately greeted by this error
ERROR: Could not create an instance of Tooling API implementation using the specified Gradle distribution 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4.1-all.zip'.
I've tried deleting my ~/.gradle directory and invalidating caches before restarting android studio but this doesn't fix the issue. I've also tried downloading gradle and using a local distribution of it, as well as playing with the version both locally and the default gradle wrapper version found in the cradle-wrapper.properties file. I tried both using the most current distribution (6.0.1) as well as going back a few versions and nothing has helped.
I am running on Mac OS 10.13.6 and Android Studio 3.5.2, using a Nougat distribution for my project (API 24, Android 7.0).
Edit: When I open the event logger, this is what I see:
11:18 Gradle sync started with single-variant sync
11:18 Gradle sync failed: ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger cannot be cast to org.gradle.api.logging.Logger (2 s 7 ms)

Android Firestore cannot get FirestoreInstance

I am trying to set up the Firstore API with my Android project however when I try to call FirebaseFirestore.getInstance() I get this error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

I have checked both my project and app level build.gradle files and they match what the documentation requires, even the Firebase Assistant in AS says that they are right. Just in case though here they are:

In the Firebase Console I have set up the database to deny any read/write requests but I thought that wouldn't affect my ability to get an instance to the database.
The google-services.json file for the Firebase project is up to date, I have even tried re-downloading it from the Firebase Console to no avail.
I have tried searching for a solution online but there seem to be nothing out there on it(this could well be down to me not being able to search for the issue properly though).
Is there a setting, either in the Firebase Console or AS, that I am missing that may be causing this issue?

update compiled & target sdk like so v
compiled sdk 26
to
compiled sdk 28

Obligatory: NVM I figured it out.
The problem was that I tried to run the code from the command line and not through an Android Emulator/Device actually running the app.
When I did run it there the problem disappeared.

Gradle not compiling for Firebase Cloud Messaging

I noticed that Firebase APIs have upgraded from v 9.0.0 to v 9.0.1 and so decided to change that.
However it is not getting noticed.
Here is the Error in Gradle Logcat
Error:(25, 13) Failed to resolve: com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:9.0.1
Error:(26, 13) Failed to resolve: com.google.firebase:firebase-core:9.0.1
And here are my Gradle Files
Build.Gradle-> App
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.3"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.lifeline.applicationgreat"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false

}
}
}

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:9.0.1'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:9.0.1'
}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
Build.Gradle-> Project
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {

}

// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
Can Anyone tell whats the Error or if I am Missing anything.
Also Is there any requirement of Firebase-core for Cloud Messaging?
Thanks

You have to update/install Google Repository, revision 27
Check this answer: firebase setup on android

I had the same issue with "com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:9.0.1", what I did was install from de SDK Manager Google Repository Extra.

You'll need to go to the Android SDK manager and check for updates - you should see an update to the Google Play services SDK which will resolve these dependencies.

For mac os users, a part from updating your SDK, if you have installed the ADK with and without brew, be sure to check that the path for your ADK in Android studio is the correct one. My problem was that android studio reverted to the old path on its own.
