Hello, everyone. My Android project is currently using Kotlin version 1.8.21. I want to use a third-party library, but it's using Kotlin 1.9.10. What will happen, and how can I ensure that my project runs smoothly? For now, I have no time to update my Android project's Kotlin version.

There’s nothing special that you should do. That library is already compiled with its internal requirements and the bytecode compatibility should be guaranteed

Glad to hear that, thank you.

yes, Kotlin compiler on JVM can handle metadata of classes from one version ahead. but just note that if you're using kotlin-reflect, that does need to stay in sync with kotlin-stdlib, which will be upgraded by your dependency
