Hi,
Why is Kotlin version 1.7.20 not available in Android Studio to update?
Gradle lint suggests the new version but it's not available in the stable channel.

Upgrade in your build.gradle

[Sergio C.]

Android studio won't have the 1.7.20 plugin

[Sergio C.]

why is it not compatible?..

[marlonlom]

its not stable yet!

Just upgraded in a test app to verify.

In top level build.gradle:

id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.7.20' apply false

and in app/build.grade:

kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion '1.3.2'

I also set

compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_11
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_11
    }
    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = '11'
    }

while doing so.
Works for my tests so far

[Sergio C.]

And you have access to the new features in 1.7.20?

[Sergio C.]

I changed the kotlin version in the top level build.gradle and it seems to work without errors.

@Sergio C. no

Ah too bad. We need to wait for the stable plugin.
