Compose is 1.0.4, Kotlin Gradle plugin is 1.6.0-M1, Gradle build tools is 4.2.2

When I remove the compose dependencies, the project is successfully assembled I tried to change the compose and kotlin versions, but it did not give any result

Answer 1

You're using the wrong version of Kotlin and the Gradle plugin. Use:

Kotlin: 1.5.31 
Gradle plugin: 7.0.3

You should upgrade your Android Studio to the latest version. It provides better notifications about dependency versions and lets you upgrade your dependencies much better than in older versions of Android Studio.

Answer 2

1.6.0-M1 is your problem. Compose is closely tied to the Kotlin compiler, and version 1.0.4 will work with Kotlin 1.5.21 .
