Problem Description

Android Studio Version: 2021.2.1 Patch 2

After creating a compose project and running it, an error similar to the following is reported:
“This version (1.1.1) of the Compose Compiler requires Kotlin version 1.6.10 but you appear to be using Kotlin version 1.5.31 …”

Solve the problem

1. Find the compatibility version comparison table between compose and kotlin

My goal is as follows , I want to apply the latest version

2. Add compose compiler dependency

In module/build.gradle, add

implementation "androidx.compose.compiler:compiler:1.3.0"

The latest AS version is automatically prompted. Enter 1.3 and find that 1.3.0 is available, but the stable version 1.3.0 in the document has not been updated yet.

Then run it and find that the error is still there...

3. Modify the kotlin version configuration

Found in build.gradle under project:

plugins {
    id 'com.android.application' version '7.2.2' apply false
    id 'com.android.library' version '7.2.2' apply false
    id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.5.31' apply false
}

Find the configuration of kotlin 1.5.31 and modify it to 1.7.10.

4. Modify other compose dependencies to the latest stable version

You can view the latest release log on the Compose repository - stable version page. like:

It is found that the latest version of other compose libraries is 1.2.1, and 1.3.0 cannot be used when using automatic prompts in AS, so they are all changed to 1.2.1.

[app module] / build.gradle:

android {
    compileSdk 33
	defaultConfig {
		...
		targetSdk 33
	}
	...
	composeOptions {
        kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion '1.3.0'
    }
}
dependencies {
//    implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8:1.7.10"
    implementation 'androidx.core:core-ktx:1.7.0'
    implementation "androidx.compose.compiler:compiler:1.3.0"
    implementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui:1.2.1"
    implementation "androidx.compose.animation:animation:1.2.1"
    implementation "androidx.compose.animation:animation-graphics:1.2.1"
    implementation "androidx.compose.foundation:foundation:1.2.1"
    implementation "androidx.compose.foundation:foundation-layout:1.2.1"
    implementation "androidx.compose.runtime:runtime:1.2.1"
    implementation 'androidx.compose.material3:material3:1.0.0-alpha16'
    implementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling-preview:1.2.1"
    implementation 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-runtime-ktx:2.5.1'
    implementation 'androidx.activity:activity-compose:1.5.1'

    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.13.2'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.3'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.4.0'
    androidTestImplementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-test-junit4:1.2.1"
    debugImplementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling:1.2.1"
    debugImplementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-test-manifest:1.2.1"
}

After the final gradle sync, the compilation and operation were successful ^~^.
