Answer 1

Add this on the top of your build.gradle:

buildscript {
    dependencies {
        classpath 'androidx.navigation:navigation-safe-args-gradle-plugin:2.5.0'
    }
}

So your build.gradle should look like this:

buildscript {
    dependencies {
        classpath 'androidx.navigation:navigation-safe-args-gradle-plugin:2.5.0'
    }
}

plugins {
    id 'com.android.application' version '7.1.3' apply false
    id 'com.android.library' version '7.1.3' apply false
    id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.6.10' apply false
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}
