Could not create task ':app:compileDebugKotlin'

Hi, Thanks for the response. I was able to fix this by altering my Java version to 11 and using AGP android upgrade assistant
using these dependencies:

    dependencies {
        classpath("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.6.21")
        // https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.android.tools.build/gradle
        classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.1.0")

    }

These plugin versions:
image_2023-11-15_141744055

and this in gradle-wrapper.properties:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.4-bin.zip

Then I went to Tools > AGP Upgrade Assistant and pressed run, then it sorted itself out!
Docs for this tool
So take my versions with a pinch of salt.
