Android Studio won't identify Gradle's Version Catalog nested dependency

I've heard recently about Gradle's Version Catalog and decided to give it a try... Everything setup, Gradle wrapper set to gradle-7.0-rc-2 and everything runs fine and I am able to build.

Android Studio, however won't identify nested dependencies, showing this exception:

Cannot access class 'org.gradle.accessors.dm.LibrariesForLibs.AndroidxLibraryAccessors'. Check your module classpath for missing or conflicting dependencies

app/build.gradle.kts

implementation(libs.androidx.coreKtx)

gradle/libs.versions.toml

androidx_coreKtx = "androidx.core:core-ktx:1.5.0-beta03"

How may I get rid of that AS error?

It looks like issue was fixed by IntellIJ team (https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTIJ-1221) a while ago, but stable Android Studio uses fairly old IntelliJ platform.

On the bright side, it appears to be fixed in the new Android Studio Canary (Android Studio Arctic Fox | 2020.3.1 Canary 15 works fine).

I've created an issue on Google's bugtracker. I know the chance is slim, but maybe they notice it and backport the fix to 4.2:

Have you tried to rename androidx_coreKtx to androidx-coreKtx? After that change you should be able to use implementation(libs.androidx.coreKtx)

Make sure that you have enableFeaturePreview("VERSION_CATALOGS") in your settings.gradle(.kts)
