Dependency update in Gradle results in a number of challenging errors

Question

In Build.gradle(Module :app), I updated the following,

dependencies {
  implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.2.0'
  implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.3.0'
  implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.0.4'
  implementation 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-livedata-ktx:2.3.0'
  implementation 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-ktx:2.3.0'
  testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.+'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.2'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.3.0'
}

to this,

dependencies {
  implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.6.1'
  implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.9.0'
  implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.1.4'
  implementation 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-livedata-ktx:2.6.1'
  implementation 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-ktx:2.6.1'
  testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.13.2'
  androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.5'
  androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.5.1'
}

and began getting the following errors reported,

Any suggestions as to where to look for the problem? I have tried swapping individual dependencies to narrow the problem down, but updating any of the first five will cause the error. Just updated to Gradle 8.0.2. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

This worked.

dependencies {

implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.6.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.9.0'
implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.1.4'
//implementation 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-livedata-ktx:2.6.1'
//implementation 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-ktx:2.6.1'
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.13.2'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.5'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.5.1'
}
