in (dependencies) inside build.gradle(project) convert from 1.5.x (x) in my case is (20)

 classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.5.20"

to 1.7.10

 classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.7.10"

If you are using compose then you will need to adjust compose versions as well.Normally with 1.7.10 of kotlin you will use 1.3.1 version of compose. Rest you can check using this link.

Just go to build.gradle(Project:yourProjectName)

Change

plugins {
  ...

  id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.5.x' apply false

  ...
}

[1.5.x means x version number at your case such as 1.5.1]

To

plugins { 
  ...

  id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.7.10' apply false

  ...
}

It works at my case..

This is because of the Kotlin version of your Gradle project.

Please upgrade your Kotlin library version.

For more detail, check the below link.

Module was compiled with an incompatible version of Kotlin. The binary version of its metadata is 1.5.1, expected version is 1.1.15

Here is the solution that tired me for a week. I had the below error: Module was compiled with an incompatible version of Kotlin. The binary version of its metadata is 1.8.0, expected version is 1.5.1.

I did all the necessary things, but the result was disappointing, including: Update Kotlin downgrade Kotlin ... For me, the problem was solved by updating Gradle

Change build.gradle (project)

 buildscript {
ext.kotlin_version = '1.7.10'
repositories {
    google()
    mavenCentral()
    maven {
         url 'https://jitpack.io'
    }
}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.3'
    classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
   }
}
plugins {
    id 'com.android.application' version '7.2.2' apply false
    id 'com.android.library' version '7.2.2' apply false
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}

It happened to me when both of the below versions were different.

id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.7.10' apply false
id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm' version '1.7.10' apply false

After making them both to 1.7.10 it worked.

Also don't forget to clear the caches and restart Android SAtudio
