Flutter run is not working for Firebase Android project. Error: The binary version of its metadata is 1.9.0, expected version is 1.7.1

Question

I am trying to add Firebase to Flutter Android project.

https://firebase.google.com/docs/flutter/setup?platform=android

I did all steps successfully except(Step 3-5)

flutter run

When I write this code to command line I am getting

e: /Users/me/.gradle/caches/transforms-3/b164394ffae5503ee96abe8c4d019cbc/transformed/jetified-play-services-measurement-api-22.0.0-api.jar!/META-INF/java.com.google.android.gmscore.integ.client.measurement_api_measurement_api.kotlin_module: Module was compiled with an incompatible version of Kotlin. The binary version of its metadata is 1.9.0, expected version is 1.7.1.

this error.

The binary version of its metadata is 1.9.0, expected version is 1.7.1.

How can I solve this problem?

Thanks.

I solved my problem.

This answer helped too much.

kotlin plugin version is shifted to settings.gradle in newer version of flutter. you can find kotlin plugin version in settings.gradle inside plugins tag

All solutions on SO was related with build.gradle files. I was trying to solve my problem by looking build.gradle files but the solution is

android/settings.gradle

file... because I'm using latest Flutter version.

I looked android/settings.gradle file and changed

plugins {
    ...
    ...
    id "org.jetbrains.kotlin.android" version "1.7.10" apply false
}

to

plugins {
    ...
    ...
    id "org.jetbrains.kotlin.android" version "1.9.0" apply false
}

And flutter run worked succesfully.
