App returning error when Kotlin version is above 2.0.0

[ooluseye16]

Description

I am trying out Instalog but I am unable to run my app after configuration. I am getting this error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':instalog_android'.
> com.android.builder.errors.EvalIssueException: Starting in Kotlin 2.0, the Compose Compiler Gradle plugin is required
  when compose is enabled. See the following link for more information:

* Try:
> Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace.

BUILD FAILED in 11s
Error: Gradle task assembleDebug failed with exit code 1

I can't reduce Kotlin version used in my app though because some other things led me to upgrading it.

Current Version: "2.1.20"

It's not the version you need to add this: https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/compose/compiler

I’ve been trying to achieve a build setup, but I haven’t been successful so far. My Flutter Android project is still using the older Gradle format and hasn’t been migrated to the Kotlin .kts (Kotlin Script) format yet.
I’d appreciate any guidance on this. Thank you, @Zfinix

What errors are you having ?

That's the error I'm facing @Zfinix

You need to enable jetpack
Compose, future versions will not have this problem 🙏🏾

@Zfinix
Could instalog_android be used with a previously existing flutter android project that was created before the Kotlin script (KTS) format was introduced?

[Zfinix]

Yes it can

[levi956]

My attempts to enable it following the compose compiler link before, I wasn't able to get it. Please, can you give an in-depth on how to enable compose? @Zfinix

1. Configure the Compose Compiler:
   Open your app-level build.gradle file.
   Inside the android block, add the following:
   Code

android {
    buildFeatures {
        compose true
    }

...

@levi956 are you able to fix it? Because I am still unable to.

Still getting this even after setting up Compose Compiler

I wasn't able to, unfortunately.
