How to set the version of Kotlin in Gradle?

Question

How can I set the version of Kotlin in Gradle?
I see that each Gradle version comes with its own Kotlin.
How do I tell it to use another one (I want to use the latest Kotlin compiler)?

Answer 1

In order to use the latest Kotlin compiler, add this to your build.gradle(.kts)

plugins {
kotlin("multiplatform") version "1.5.31"
}

You can replace "1.5.31" with the version you want.
