I faced a problem with AS Canary 14 - IDE doesn’t see collections in the Kotlin stlib jar.
Found these two issues (first and second) in the bug tracker and the question on SO that seem to be relevant to the problem.

I thought the cause is in the Gradle plugin with version 7.0.0-alpha14 and Gradle with version 7.0.0, so I decided to install Canary 13 to downgrade versions. Canary 14 doesn’t work with versions lower than 7+ as I understand.
I did it on mac:
• Deleted Android Studio <http://Preview.app|Preview.app> from Applications.
• Deleted AndroidStudioPreview2020.3 (or similar to that) from $User/Library/Application Support/Google.
◦ Press `cmd+shift+.`(the last one is a dot) to show hidden folders and files in Finder because Library is hidden.
• Download Canary 13 and copy it in Applications.
I’m not sure if all steps are required but it worked for me.

Canary 13 uses Gradle plugin with version 7.0.0-alpha13 and Gradle with version 6.8.2 (not sure about exact version but it’s definitely lower than 7+). So it works for me - the problem was solved. After that I try to update Gradle plugin to 7.0.0-alpha14 and Gradle to 7.0.0 and.. it also works. I put Canary 14 to the ignore list to avoid update notification.

Just want to share this info in case it helps someone.

I'm facing this issue on Canary 13,14 and 15. I tried downgrading gradle version accordingly but nothing helps. I'm using Android Studio on Linux
