Build error despite having the correct Kotlin version

Question

It's ridiculous, that I am getting this error, when I do have: id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.6.10' apply false

Update: Everything worked fine all day. The moment, I decided to incorporate this, https://dagger.dev/hilt/, that's when problems began to occur. Not sure of why, I followed all the instructions on the website. 😔😔😔

Android Installed:

Error:

> Task :app:compileDebugKotlin FAILED
e: This version (1.1.1) of the Compose Compiler requires Kotlin version 1.6.10 but you appear to be using Kotlin version 1.6.21 which is not known to be compatible.  Please fix your configuration (or `suppressKotlinVersionCompatibilityCheck` but don't say I didn't warn you!).

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

In your build.gradle (module) file there's a line kotlinCompilerVersion "1.6.10" under composeOptions, change it to match your Kotlin version 1.6.21.
