Version compatibility between the Compose Compiler and the Kotlin Compiler on Android

[Kweeku]

I have this error when running my application on android with the smile package added.

This error is from an example project created with the flutter create command. It is also the same issue I have in my actual flutter project. I will appreciate a looking into this matter as my compnay wishes to launch our product with smile in the coming weeks. Thanks

Hey @Kweeku

this is similar to this issue here - #95

This should be the fix you need - #95 (comment)

I tried the fix that was suggested in the comment, I'm currently getting a new error.

 Incompatible classes were found in dependencies. Remove them from the classpath or use '-Xskip-metadata-version-check' to suppress errors

It seems we don't have a choice but to update to kotlin 2.1.0. Or do you have any suggestions to resolve this @jumaallan ?
