Kotlin: New Gradle Sync is not supported due to containing Kotlin modules using an unsupported plugin version

Kotlin Programming

Question or issue of Kotlin Programming:

I’m using android studio 3.4.1 and my Kotlin version is 1.3.31. I have a flutter app. When trying to add cloud_firestore to my app I have the following issue. My android studio Kotlin version is exactly the same as build.gradle. Any advice?

Here is the my buld.gradle:

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.3.31'
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.1'
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
        // for firebase
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0'
    }
}

How to solve this issue?

Solution no. 1:

Faced this same error. I had to update my JVM Version in Kotlin Compiler settings.

You can find that setting here:
File -> Settings -> Kotlin Compiler -> Target JVM Version

Changing to 1.8 fixed the issue.

Solution no. 2:

Update Kotlin Plugin

I could be that your IDE has an older level of the Kotlin plugin.

Within Android Studio, got to File > Settings... > Kotlin and check to make sure your plugin is up to date. You may see something like this, indicating you need to update:

Settings dialog indicating new version of Kotlin is available

Also, if you run into memory issues, you may need to add org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xms1024m -Xmx4096m to the gradle.properties file.

Solution no. 3:

File -> settings ->kotlin compiler->Target JVM version(update it)

enter image description here

Solution no. 4:

This is what solved it for me in a kotlin multiplatform js/jvm/android/iOS project… took days to solve, why or how I do not know but I am greatful.

enter image description here

Solution no. 5:

First Check your JVM version

  1. Open Window

  2. Go to Java from Programs

  3. Open ‘About Java’ and this will show you the version of your JVM

Now Update JVM version in your Android Studio

  1. File -> Settings.. -> Kotlin Compiler
  2. Go to ‘Target JVM Version’
  3. Select the version that your JVM have.

That’s it. Your studio will build again automatically..

Solution no. 6:

In Android Studio,

  • Click “Shift” button twice

  • Enter Kotlin Compiler as shown below
    enter image description here

  • Change Target JVM version from 1.6 to 12
    enter image description here

This works for me.

Solution no. 7:

For Mac(Catalina) Users

Select Android Studio
(This is hidden, move your cursor to the top of the screen to reveal this option)

Then,

Preferences -> Kotlin Compiler -> Target JVM Version

now modify the respective java version, I changed Target JVM version from 1.6 to 1.8 to make it work.

Shortcut to open Preferences in Android Studio is Cmd + ,

Solution no. 8:

To me, using IDEA 2019.3.4, change Kotlin JVM version to IDEA bundled one (version:11) which found in Project Settings->Platform Settings->SDKs , solved the problem.

Hope this helps!
