I experience an error while running an intellij plugin built with compose in Android Studio 4.1.2 :thread:

This is the actual error thrown
`com.intellij.diagnostic.PluginException: While loading class org.jetbrains.skiko.SkiaLayer: org/jetbrains/skiko/SkiaLayer has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 55.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 52.0`

Looking at the build details of Android studio 4.1.2, i notice the runtime version is `1.8.0_242-release-1644-b3-6915495 x86_64` . Is it possible to run compose intellij plugins in Android Studio?

Class file version 52 is Java 1.8 and class file version 55 is Java 11.  So it sounds like you built the plugin for/using Java 11 and the IDE is running Java 1.8.

I believe you should be able to set the jvm target by adding this to your gradle files:
```tasks.withType(KotlinCompile).configureEach {
    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = "1.8"
    }
}```

oh, just re-read your error message, looks like it is complaining about `org/jetbrains/skiko/SkiaLayer` - sorry I missed that the first time around.

Sounds like that jvm target flag needs to be added to skiko in order to build skiko binaries that are compatible with older JVMs

Can you please file a bug here: <https://github.com/JetBrains/skiko/issues>

and include details about what you're trying to do (run the plugin in AndroidStudio)
