Question

this issue due to mismatched kotlin-gradle-plugin and com.android.tools.build:gradle , in my case i was use

com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.4 and bump up version to org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.5.31 to address the issue just use matched version of AGP and KGP

Answer 1

To address the use matched versions like so.

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.2'
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.5.31"

but if you using AGP 7.0.3, make sure you have these version for KGP and Hilt Gradle Plugin like so.

classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.3"
classpath 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.5.31'
classpath 'com.google.dagger:hilt-android-gradle-plugin:2.39.1'
