Cannot inline bytecode built with JVM target 1.8 into bytecode that is being built with JVM target 1.6

Question

When trying to run the Example CorDapp (GitHub CorDapp) via IntelliJ, I receive the following error:

Cannot inline bytecode built with JVM target 1.8 int

Answer 1

In my case, just changingTarget JVM Version like this: File > Setting > Kotlin Compiler > Target JVM Version > 1.8 did not help. However, it does resolved compile time error. But failed at runtime.

I also had to add following in app build.gradle file to make it work.

 android {
     // Other code here...
     kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = "1.8"
     }
 }
