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

In Stripe, my client wants email and cardholder name, but the Stripe payment UI doesn't provide that option in com.stripe.android.view.CardMultilineWidget. I wanted to give it a try with the latest stripe version,

  1. I was using Stripe version (14.1.1). So I updated it to the latest one (16.8.0)

  2. The build showed me the error that it doesn't take minSdkVersion 19. It requires 21 in manifest merger. So I updated minSdkVersion to 21.

  3. I got

    caches/transforms-2/files-2.1/4541b0189187e0017d23bbb0afebd16a/jetified-kotlin-stdlib-common-1.5.0.jar!/META-INF/kotlin-stdlib-common.kotlin_module: 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.

I tried changing the Gradle version, but I am still getting the same error. How can I solve the incompatible error and add the email and cardholder name in Stripe?

[2025] Solution with Explanation

In Oct 2024, a lot of the answers got a bit outdated for my case. Due to mixing up in the process, I lost some time. But it is actually very easy. Hence, I'll sum up what will actually work with explanation.

[Normally, you only need THIS FIRST PART]

First, let's look at what Flutter is suggesting. Flutter suggestion for fixing the error

For older versions than Flutter 3.19, you'd work on build.gradle file, which is the case in most of the answers.

But most likely you are using a newer version, so you must work on primarily settings.gradle. But... If you have already mixed up things like me you need to make sure to fix a few things.

The error says Module was compiled with an incompatible version of Kotlin. The binary version of its metadata is 1.9.0, expected version is 1.7.1. > here, the binary version is what is written in your settings.gradle file for kotlin, and the expected version is associated with your AGP version i.e. your AGP version is not compatible with your kotlin version. You can find the version compatibility here with AGP vs Kotlin (KGP).

Now, open your settings.gradle file, and put the versions (that you want and compatible with each other) here [NOTE: I have used a different version than my error message (as per my interest) - 2.0.20 for Kotlin, and 8.1.1 for AGP] -

plugins {
    id "dev.flutter.flutter-plugin-loader" version "1.0.0"
    id 'com.android.application' version '8.1.1' apply false
    id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '2.0.20' apply false
}

[You may need THIS PART if your other settings are messed up]

Now, you need to make sure that you don't overwrite or mix up these values in other places.

  • REMOVE (if present) this block from project gradle (android/build.gradle). It is not required in newer version of Flutter or android project. remove buildscript block
  • Go to app gradle (android/app/build.gradle). Make sure these 3 numbers match, if present (it threw an error until I matched them), otherwise ignore. I used Kotlin's JRE version 17 as jvmTarget. jvmTarget
  • IMPORTANT open graddle-wrapper.properties > MAKE SURE distributionUrl has the same version number as AGP. In my case, it's 8.1.1. distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.1.1-all.zip
  • Now, clean the gradle caches (usually C:\Users\NAME\.gradle\caches). Close your IDE if required.
  • Open project/android folder in Android Studio. Make sure you have Kotlin plugin installed on it (Settings > Plugins). Let Android Studio prepares the project. It will automatically download AGP and related files. If you have changed any project settings in File > Project Structure, make sure they are undone, and keep the defaults. Click the elephant icon at the top: Sync Project with the Gradle Files. It should complete the build normally. You can ignore AGP upgrade notification, if you are confident that you chose the compatible AGP in the earlier stage.
  • From terminal, flutter clean > flutter pub get > flutter run or flutter build apk --build-name=1.0 --build-number=1 --no-tree-shake-icons. These will complete the build normally as well.

Although this question has been answered, I think it's worth explaining what is happening

For the example:

The binary version of its metadata is 1.7.1, expected version is 1.5.1.

The expected version is the Kotlin for kotlin-gradle-plugin

The binary version is what is downloaded (or previously compiled) for com.android.tools.build:gradle

<project_dir>/android/build.gradle

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

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.3.1' // downloads 1.7.1 Metadata
    classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version" // <= 1.5.20 used here
}

Why is this Happening So Much?

  1. The user updates the Kotlin version of the plugin to match the IDE version per the warning.

    Warning from Android Studio to match Kotlin Versions

  2. The user updates the android build tools gradle plugin per the warning

    Warning about android build tools

This is the WRONG version!

Now you don't have any warnings, but the version suggested is 7.1.3 which is not the latest. (I don't know why it suggests this older version) 7.3.1 is currently the latest and is meta data 1.7.1, so it will match the Kotlin version of 1.7.20 (which is also metadata 1.7.1)

What else could be wrong?

Due to caching, Gradle may be using an older dependency before you updated. To start clean:

  1. delete the ~/.gradle/cache directory
  2. delete the android/.gradle directory
  3. delete the project_dir/build dir
  4. ensure the android/gradle/gradle-wrapper.properies has the correct distributionUrl (currently distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.4-bin.zip)
  5. from project_dir do flutter build apk

NOTE: your dependencies may need to be updated if their com.android.tools.build:gradle version is too old. Alternatively, both the Kotlin and tools:gradle versions can be downgraded to compatible version that match metadata (although Android Studio will warn for that not matching the IDE Kotlin version)

How to prevent this from happening again?

I faced same issue with different version while updating libraries to latest versions in a legacy project, After looking around I found simple solution,

In project level gradle under buildScript tag add

ext {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.9.0'

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

In app level gradle under android tag

compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_17
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_17
}

These two changes worked for me perfectly fine for me,

Note: also some time updated libraries require compileSdk 34 so please set accordingly.

Happy coding :)

Thanks

just go to settings.gradle and change kotlin version as i changed to

plugins {

    id "dev.flutter.flutter-plugin-loader" version "1.0.0"

    id "com.android.application" version "7.3.0" apply false
    // START: FlutterFire Configuration

    id "com.google.gms.google-services" version "4.3.15" apply false
    // END: FlutterFire Configuration

    id "org.jetbrains.kotlin.android" version "1.7.10" apply false. // change this line to latest version like below
}


plugins {

    id "dev.flutter.flutter-plugin-loader" version "1.0.0"

    id "com.android.application" version "7.3.0" apply false
    // START: FlutterFire Configuration

    id "com.google.gms.google-services" version "4.3.15" apply false
    // END: FlutterFire Configuration

    id "org.jetbrains.kotlin.android" version "1.9.0" apply false // 1.7.10 to 1.9.0
}

its worked for me

In my case, changing the kotlin version did not help.

My problem was a compatibility issue between one of my imports using Kotlin and my version of Gradle (Here is the compatibility chart).

To resolve it, you can use the Android Studio's AGP Upgrade Assistant:

Tools (In toolbar) -> AGP Upgrade Assistant -> Select the comptatible Gradle version.

The binary version of its metadata is 1.7.1, expected version is 1.5.1

go to (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"

I had an error like that it said..

Module was compiled with an incompatible version of Kotlin. The binary version of its metadata is 1.8.0, expected version is 1.6.0.

Solution I went to pubspec.yaml and find the package that was causing this because for me it happened after adding couple of libraries, you need to test(comment & uncomment) untill you find (it/them), for me it was the latest package url_launcher

url_launcher: ^6.2.5

I changed it to a specific old version

url_launcher: 6.0.5
  • Clean project
  • build apk

and it worked!

in my android/settings.gradle

.............
plugins {
    id "dev.flutter.flutter-plugin-loader" version "1.0.0"
    id "com.android.application" version "7.3.0" apply false
    id "org.jetbrains.kotlin.android" version "1.7.10" apply false
}

in my android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.6.3-all.zip

in my android/build.gradle

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

rootProject.buildDir = '../build'
subprojects {
    project.buildDir = "${rootProject.buildDir}/${project.name}"
}
subprojects {
    project.evaluationDependsOn(':app')
}

tasks.register("clean", Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

A lot of answers that are not quite helpful. Setting this or that version does not help as Kotlin-AGP-Android Studio must all be using compatible versions.

A good start is the second table on this page:

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/kotlin-multiplatform-dev/compose-compatibility-and-versioning.html#kotlin-compatibility

Then you need to be sure your version of Android Studio is compatible with the gradle version you want to use which can be found here:

https://developer.android.com/build/releases/gradle-plugin

If you're still having issues, try to clean all cache folders:

  • ~/.gradle/cache
  • ~/.gradle/caches
  • <project_dir>/build
  • /.gradle

In my case it was a cryptic reason. It was running out of memory during build, yet wouldn't be explicit about it, instead throwing the exception about incompatible version of Kotlin.

For me, the solution was to change org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1536m to org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m in gradle.properties

Straightforward answer

You need to make sure compose_version, compose_compiler and gradle distribution url as well as Kotlin version are ALL compatible.

It is just a big headache because you need to check the following websites:

Step by step to make it work with most recent versions from March 2024:

flutter clean (and also trash content of .gradle/caches potentially)

Copy/paste the following inside android folder (make a backup, don't blame me if things don't go accordingly):

settings.gradle (don't forget to replace android { namespace with your package)

plugins {
    id "com.android.application"
    id "kotlin-android"
    id "dev.flutter.flutter-gradle-plugin"
}

def localProperties = new Properties()
def localPropertiesFile = rootProject.file('local.properties')
if (localPropertiesFile.exists()) {
    localPropertiesFile.withReader('UTF-8') { reader ->
        localProperties.load(reader)
    }
}

def flutterVersionCode = localProperties.getProperty('flutter.versionCode')
if (flutterVersionCode == null) {
    flutterVersionCode = '1'
}

def flutterVersionName = localProperties.getProperty('flutter.versionName')
if (flutterVersionName == null) {
    flutterVersionName = '1.0'
}

How it should work smoothly, as of March 2024.

Updated solution for flutter 3 :

Edit this line to set your kotlin to latest version :

id "org.jetbrains.kotlin.android" version "1.9.22" apply false

in file : project/android/settings.gradle.

The latest koltin version can be find here : https://kotlinlang.org/docs/releases.html#release-details

For me the trick was to update the android library version as well along with kotlin version

Before

plugins {
id 'com.android.application' version '7.3.1' apply false
id 'com.android.library' version '7.3.1' apply false
id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.6.0' apply false

}

After

plugins {
id 'com.android.application' version '7.4.0' apply false
id 'com.android.library' version '7.4.0' apply false
id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.8.0' apply false

}

Kotlin config is a nightmare, I have two project, a 100% Java and other with Kotlin, wow, is a huge difference. (And I don't talk about Flutter, it is a similar nightmare). Well, many noise with that. At least for me worked the next steps:

  1. running the suggested Kotlin migrations from the IDE
  2. invalidate caches

And I added the kotlin-bom like this:

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation(platform("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-bom:1.8.0"))
    implementation"org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"
    ...
}

in the main build.gradle file:

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.7.20'
    
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.3.1'
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
    }
}

And also update the target to:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 34
    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 34
        ...
    }
}

Apparently there might be a vast variety of reasons of this fault. In my case, when I even did not use Kotlin but Java, the problem was I updated Firebase library version to the newest one. I switched from:

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:21.2.2'

to:

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:21.5.0'

an it caused analogous fault. I switched back to the old version and it worked.

"Funny" fact was that fault popped out only when I build apk file. When I build aab for Google Play everything went smooth.

Just for information for others who will check this thread.

In our case, it was a change in an update to Auth0. In build.gradle we were using a prefix version range:

implementation 'com.auth0.android:auth0:2.+'

Since we are overriding the Kotlin version, we just needed to update the Auth0 version to an exact version to prevent the 6K+ build errors:

implementation 'com.auth0.android:auth0:2.10.1'

Many times, the error can arise after a library integration. The integrated library may be compiled using a Kotlin version newer than the one used in your project. In that case, there can be two solutions:

  1. Downgrade the library dependency version.
  2. Upgrade the Kotlin version for your own project to be greater than or equal to the library's Kotlin version.

In such case, read the build.gradle (:project) carefully. I overlooked the warning that's why I was getting this problem.

Initially my settings of build.gradle (:project) was

plugins {
id 'com.android.application' version '7.2.1' apply false
id 'com.android.library' version '7.2.1' apply false
id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.6.10' apply false
}

As I was getting this error

Module was compiled with an incompatible version of Kotlin. The binary version of its metadata is 1.8.0, expected version is 1.6.0.

So I changed this setting in the build.gradle (:project) to the following:

plugins {
id 'com.android.application' version '7.2.1' apply false
id 'com.android.library' version '7.2.1' apply false
id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.8.10' apply false
}

Hope it solves your problem.

Go to the file build.gradle, change the version of kotlin. In case in my flutter project I opened build.gradle and changed

`ext.kotlin_version = '1.5.30'`

to ext.kotlin_version = '1.6.0'

Here

buildscript {
ext.kotlin_version = '1.6.0'

repositories {
    google()
    jcenter()
}

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.0'
    classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
    
}

}

Then save and do

flutter clean and flutter run.

Works fine for me.

Changed the Project build gradle to

    buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.7.20'
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.2.0'
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
    }
}
