akka-actor-typed is published for Scala 2.12, 2.13, not for Scala 3

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.typesafe.akka/akka-actor-typed

Try compatibility mode

lazy val foo = project.in(file("foo"))
  .settings(
    scalaVersion := "3.0.0",
    libraryDependencies += 
      ("com.typesafe.akka" %% "akka-actor-typed" % "2.6.15")
        .cross(CrossVersion.for3Use2_13)
  )

https://docs.scala-lang.org/scala3/guides/migration/compatibility-classpath.html

Update. akka-actor-typed is published for Scala 3 since version 2.6.17

libraryDependencies += "com.typesafe.akka" %% "akka-actor-typed" % "2.6.17"

In order to use akka with Scala 3 e.g. the akka-actor-typed you can include akka-actor-typed 2.6.18 as a dependency.

The example provided uses akka-actor-typed 2.6.15 whose target is scala 2.13 and 2.12.
Scala 3 is included as a target only since akka-actor-typed 2.6.17.

The latest version of akka-actor-typed where scala 3 is included as a target is akka-actor-typed 2.6.18.
