Cannot build a new project using Android Studio 4.2 because of the following error:

A problem occurred configuring root project 'My Application'.
> Could not resolve all artifacts for configuration ':classpath'.
   > Could not find org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.5.0-release-764.
     Searched in the following locations:

       - https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/jetbrains/kotlin/kotlin-gradle-plugin/1.5.0-release-764/kotlin-gradle-plugin-1.5.0-release-764.pom

Possible solution:
 - Declare repository providing the artifact, see the documentation at https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/declaring_repositories.html

When I changed the Kotlin plugin version from ext.kotlin_version = "1.5.0-release-764" to ext.kotlin_version = "1.5.0" app builds successfully but the following warning appears:

Kotlin version that is used for building with Gradle (1.5.0) differs from the one bundled into the IDE plugin (1.5.0-release-764)

Change From

buildscript {
ext.kotlin_version = "1.5.0-release-764"
......}

Change To

buildscript {
ext.kotlin_version = "1.5.0"
....}

Change the Kotlin Version Issue will be cleared.

I went to the build.gradle file and changed the ext.kotlin_version = "1.5.0" to ext.kotlin_version = "1.4.32", as that was the version of an older project which successfully built.

I was using the same version of kotlin-gradle-plugin bundled with the IDE, which is 1.5.10, in Android studio 4.2.1, and for me disabling the 'Block connections to untrusted servers' in my anti-virus fixed the error.

According to Android Studio's message, Kotlin's latest stable version is 1.5.0-release-764. If you want to (or in this case I guess everyone needs to) use version 1.5.0:

  1. Go to Tools in the menu

  2. Go to Kotlin

  3. Choose Configure Kotlin Plugin Updates

  4. In the drop-down, choose the early access preview version of 1.5.x and then click OK.

Gradle sync will now configure the Studio with Kotlin 1.5.0.

if you work on flutter project ,you just need to update flutter sdk run that command in terminal:

flutter upgrade

After updating , new flutter version will fix that errors automatically.
