Android: Not compatible with kotlin-gradle-plugin 1.7.xx version

[ARASHz4]

My kotlin-gradle-plugin version is 1.7.20 and is not compatible
Please update kotlin-gradle-plugin version in android

The Android Gradle plugin supports only Kotlin Gradle plugin version 1.5.20 and higher.
The following dependencies do not satisfy the required version:
project ':flutter_sms' -> org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.3.50

Dead project ?

A migration to a newer AGP version so that we can use current Kotlin versions would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏼

[AliPunjabi]

any alternative to this dependency?

+1 Hit the same snag. This is the only dependency causing our project to be unresolvable now.

Is there any way around this like downgrading Kotlin or is that not recommended? What are we supposed to do here?

[yashpatel2202]

is fluttercommunity working on this issue?
its a serious issue now, our project can not build without this.
do anyone know any workaround or any other library?

[svenjacobs]

I have downgraded the flutter version using this flutter downgrade v1.2.1 everything worked fine

Downgrading Flutter to an ancient version (current version of Flutter is 3.10.0) which was released 4 years ago is unfortunately not an option and has other severe consequences.

Here, First, you need to understand this error is caused by the flutter_sms plugin's build.gradle, not with your project. Here, you can wait until the developer to update the kotlin gradle version of the plugin, or you can do by yourself.

Go to the plugin Github page and download the source code and extract the file. Edit the build.gradle file inside the extracted folder. Upgrade the kotlin.gradle by editing the line below:

ext.kotlin_version = '1.7.10'

Now save the file. and go to your pubspec.yaml file to add this package from your local folder like the below:

dependencies:
flutter:
sdk: flutter
background_sms: ^0.0.4
permission_handler: ^10.2.0
flutter_sms:
path: C:/Users/Hari Pd. Chaudhary/Downloads/flutter_sms-master
sms_advanced:
path: C:/Users/Hari Pd. Chaudhary/Downloads/sms_advanced-master

Source: Solved | Android Gradle plugin supports only Kotlin Gradle plugin version 1.5.20 and higher.

any fork or update about this

+1 to this! I think there's a PR addressing it? https://github.com/fluttercommunity/flutter_sms/pull/71/files

Actually when I download the full source code it has the build.gradle file updated:

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.7.10'
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.4'
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
    }
}

It appears that the release is not up to date, so just downloading the code and linking it in your project's pubspec.yaml file as @hpchari mentioned should work!
