Error1: Android Studio version is not compatible with AGP

Solution

Android Studio Error Message: "The project is using an incompatible version (AGP 8.1.0) of the Android Gradle Plugin. Latest supported version is AGP 7.3.0."
This means your Android Studio or Gradle version does not fully support AGP 8.1.0, even though you are using Java 17 .

Root Cause
This error occurs because:

1.Your Gradle version or Android Studio version is not compatible with AGP 8.1.0.
2.AGP 8.1.0 requires:

Gradle 8.0 or later
Java 17
Android Studio Chipmunk or later (preferably Electric Eel or later)
Even if Java 17 is correctly set, if your Gradle version or Android Studio is older, it will still show incompatibility issues .

Steps to Resolve

Ensure Android Studio is Updated

Check your Android Studio version. Go to Help > About.
AGP 8.1.0 requires Android Studio Chipmunk or later.
If your version is outdated, update Android Studio to the latest version from the official site: Download Android Studio .
Update Gradle Version
Ensure your Gradle Wrapper supports AGP 8.1.0:
Open gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties.
Update the distributionUrl to
:
properties


distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.0.2-all.zip

Sync with Gradle and Rebuild

After updating Gradle, sync your project

Go to File > Sync Project with Gradle Files.

Then clean and rebuild the project

Build > Clean Project, followed by Build > Rebuild Project.

Verify build.gradle Configuration Ensure the following in your root-level build.gradle:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.1.0'
    }
}

Verify Java Settings Your JAVA_HOME is correctly set to Java 17, but confirm that Android Studio is using Java 17:

Go to File > Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Build Tools > Gradle.
Ensure Gradle JDK is set to Java 17 If You Cannot Update Android Studio If updating Android Studio is not an option, downgrade AGP to the latest version supported by your setup:

Change the AGP version in your root build.gradle to 7.3.0:

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.3.0'
}

Update the gradle-wrapper.properties file to use Gradle 7.5.1:

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.5.1-all.zip

This will work with older versions of Android Studio but requires Java 11 instead of Java 17.

Error:com/android/tools/lint/model/LintModelSeverity has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime

This error occurs because the version of Java you're using to run your project is incompatible with the version of the Android Gradle Plugin or the LintModelSeverity class. Specifically, the error indicates that the LintModelSeverity class has been compiled with Java 17 (class file version 61.0), but your current Java Runtime only supports up to Java 11 (class file version 55.0).

Here’s how you can resolve this issue
