Android Studio Flamingo went stable today!

Also, we also announced that starting with Giraffe, the Kotlin DSL will now be the default build script for new projects:

(There's also experimental support for version catalogs, which is a much better way to manage dependencies than buildSrc and other similar tricks!)

@tornorbye After upgrading and applying the migrations I get the following error:

'compileDebugJavaWithJavac' task (current target is 1.8) and 'kaptGenerateStubsDebugKotlin' task (current target is 17) jvm target compatibility should be set to the same Java version.

Is there anything I need to change? Or is this a bug?

@Argenkiwi Are you using Kotlin 1.8? This looks relevant: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-55947/Unable-to-set-kapt-jvm-target-version#focus=Comments-27-6805028.0-0

@tornorbye It seems there is an issue with kapt requiring JVM toolchain, which can only be used from AGP v8.1.0-alpha09: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/gradle-configure-project.html#gradle-java-toolchains-support. The workaround I found is adding the following to the project's build.gradle:

allprojects {
tasks.withType(org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinCompile) {
kotlinOptions.jvmTarget = "1.8"
}
}

I can see many of us getting caught by this issue and the solution is not easy to find or understand.
