Hey! 👋

The issue doesn't seem to contain a minimal reproduction.

Could you provide a snack or a link to a GitHub repository under your username that reproduces the problem?

You can change the version of Kotlin Gesture Handler is using by setting ext.kotlinVersion in your project-level build.gradle. In your case, setting it to 1.6.20 should solve the problem.

As a sidenote, you should consider migrating off of kotlin-android-extensions as it's scheduled for removal in Kotlin 1.8.

Thanks, @j-piasecki will try this, also migration is in WIP for kotlin synthetics.

Where would this Kotlin line be? I'm looking inside of my build.gradle and I don't see anything mentioning kotlin at all yet I have the same error.

[j-piasecki]

It would be in the project-level build.gradle:

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "31.0.0"
        minSdkVersion = 21
        compileSdkVersion = 31
        targetSdkVersion = 31
        kotlinVersion="1.6.20"
        ...

[NLanese]

That gives me the following error...

Could not open cp_proj generic class cache for build file '/Users/nicklanese/Documents/GitHub/KidzNMotionDirectory/KidzNMotionNative/android/build.gradle' (/Users/nicklanese/.gradle/caches/7.5.1/scripts/1zemuiejeqx05vvvxe3i9qnv6).
   > BUG! exception in phase 'semantic analysis' in source unit '_BuildScript_' Unsupported class file major version 63

I seem to get this error (or something like it) every time I change anything to do with Kotlin, in any level build file

[j-piasecki]

A quick google suggests that it may be caused by JVM/Gradle version mismatch or cache, so you can try changing versions (see compatibility here) and/or clearing cache. Otherwise, I don't think I will be able to help.

How do you migrate off of kotlin-android-extensions @j-piasecki ?

[j-piasecki]

@timothygorer I don't think I will be able to help much as I haven't used it but here's a migration guide.
