The Android Gradle plugin supports only Kotlin Gradle plugin version 1.5.20 and higher.

Current Behaviour

Building an application with Capacitor v4 and React, when I try to create a simple test page I'm getting this error.

Full message:
The Android Gradle plugin supports only Kotlin Gradle plugin version 1.5.20 and higher.
The following dependencies do not satisfy the required version:
project ':idpass-smartscanner-capacitor' -> org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.4.10
Update plugins
Affected Modules: app

When clicking on "Update plugins" it goes to a refactor tab but doesn't actually do anything.

Expected Behaviour

A test application should compile and run allowing me to try out the basic functionality.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Use Capacitor v4
2. Build and sync your project
3. Open in Android Studio and sync Gradle

Solution

Change buildscript.ext.kotlin_version to "1.5.20" in build.gradle

Context

Windows 11, Node LTS, Android Studio 2022.1.1 (Electric Eel), Gradle 7.4.1.

• Version: 0.5.0-beta.9
• Platform: Node
• Capacitor version: 4.6.3

The same happens to me.

I was able to solve it by editing the value in the buildscript object but now there appears to be an issue with dependencies, which I have opened in a separate issue.
