I created a new Android app project with "Empty Composed Activity" in Kotlin. After the project is created when I try/launch the project it gives me the following error:

Can't determine type for tag '<macro name="m3_comp_assist_chip_container_shape">?attr/shapeAppearanceCornerSmall</macro>'

To resolve this issue I followed this post: Can't determine type for tag '<macro name="m3_comp_bottom_app_bar_container_color">?attr/colorSurface</macro>'

First I updated

implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.6.0'

in build.gradle file in dependencies section.

After this I launched my application and I got these errors (one of them is here):

C:/Users/ASUS/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/androidx.lifecycle/lifecycle-common/2.6.1/10f354fdb64868baecd67128560c5a0d6312c495/lifecycle-common-2.6.1.jar!/META-INF/lifecycle-common.kotlin_module: 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.

Error

Now for resolving this error I followed this suggestion: 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, but I am unable to find ext.kotlin_version in my build.gradle file.

So I manually add and rerun program.

Added line of code is:

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.5.20' // <= expected version is 1.5.1
}

After this step I got new errors, which are pointing to the Kotlin version:

enter image description here

C:/Users/ASUS/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/androidx.lifecycle/lifecycle-common/2.6.1/10f354fdb64868baecd67128560c5a0d6312c495/lifecycle-common-2.6.1.jar!/META-INF/lifecycle-common.kotlin_module: 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.

How I can resolve all these issues in one go, so if I created a new project I should not have these errors again?

I think this error is due to Kotlin version upgrade that is not compatiable with Android Studio library, so how I can downgrade my Kotlin version to the last stable version without affecting other parts of Android Studio?

Please check in your project gradle file that your kotlin plugin dependency is is applied with latest version or not

classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"

or add below plugin in your module gradle file like this:

plugins {
    id ("com.android.application")
    id ("org.jetbrains.kotlin.android")
    kotlin("kapt")
   }
