                Can you share your app build.gradle file? I believe it is related with the java version used in your gradle and the java version used by your machine. Seems that you are using Java 17 in your machine and java 1.8 in your project.

                Had a similar issue, @rockar06 's suggestion helped: I was using JDK 17, switching to the JDK bundled with Android Studio (it is currently version 11) solved the issue

                @Eyjafl when you say "switching to the JDK bundled with Android Studio" what do you mean?  I'm using the bundled JDK in the gradle settings (17.0.6 in this case) but I still get the failures.  Only when I set the compile options per stackoverflow.com/a/75480587/3934023 does this work for me...

                @Zach I mean the JDK installed inAndroid Studio itself (.../Android/Android Studio/jbr). In my case (Android Studio Electric Eel | 2022.1.1 Patch 2) the bundled JDK is 11.0.15.
– Eyjafl
                Mar 13 at 9:07
                Ah, okay.  You are using Electric Eel.  I was running into this issue on Giraffe (which changed to use Java 17 as the bundled version) which is why I was confused about this.  Thanks for clarifying. I'll need to double check my default setup as well, since I use the bundled version always... but maybe it's a different bug for Giraffe users still

I'm using Android Studio Flamingo | 2022.2.1

I'm getting similar error. These settings worked for me.

build.gradle(:project)

plugins {
    id 'com.android.application' version '8.0.0' apply false
    id 'com.android.library' version '8.0.0' apply false
    id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.8.10' apply false

build.gradle(:app)

compileOptions { sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_17 targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_17 kotlinOptions { jvmTarget = '17'

Gradle Projects Settings

The last change (setting the GRADLEW JDK to jbr 1.7) is the only thing that worked for me... – P1x May 3 at 15:32

You can set it up in gradle (kts) file:

  compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_17
    targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_17

I'm using Hedgehog | 2023.1.1 Canary 6

I'm getting the similar error. And I've solved it just like @Halil Ozel did in his answer. Someone commented his answer as "just downgrading to 1.7", but actually you're not restricted to setup a higher version.

For example, I have following settings

  • Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Build Tools -> Gradle
  • Gradle: Wrapper
    Gradle JDK: corretto-18 Amazon Corretto version 18.0.2 (downloaded manually inside Android Studio)
    Screenshot representing the setting (sorry I still haven't enough reputation to post images)

  • build.gradle.kts (:app)
  • android { defaultConfig {...} buildTypes {...} compileOptions { sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_18 targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_18 kotlinOptions { jvmTarget = "18"

    I got this error while trying to connect dagger 2.42

    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_17
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_17
    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = '17'
    

    And change version to 2.44.2

    implementation 'com.google.dagger:dagger:2.44.2'
    kapt 'com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.44.2'
    
    plugins {
        id 'com.android.application' version '8.0.2' apply false
        id 'com.android.library' version '8.0.2' apply false
        id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.8.10' apply false
    

    buid.gradle(app)

    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_18
        targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_18
    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = '18'
    

    Settings: Build, Execution, Deployment -> Build Tools -> Gradle

    Most probably there's a dependency mismatch.

    I got a similar error when trying to add appwrite to my Flutter app. To be specific, flutter_web_auth_2 (a dependency that appwrite depended on) was throwing a similar error.

    After hours of trial and error, downgrading my Kotlin version to match the flutter_web_auth_2's Kotlin version solved my issue.

    It might be late for you, but I hope I helped someone.

    I've the same error... but error starts when I added the "kotlin-kapt" plugin.

    If you doesn't need use annotations, don't use it. Also think to migrate to KSP. https://kotlinlang.org/docs/kapt.html

    But with the upgrade to Java 17 its enought.

    The same problem occurred when turning on the 'Hilt' library, or when adding a Java-module to the project, even an empty one.

    I managed to solve it the only way. Made AGP and Gradle versions less than 8.0

    The versions of all other components remained maximum.

    All other methods did not work. Or do not meet the requirements of the application.

    For example, there is such a requirement:

    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
