How to resolve error “Failed to resolve: org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jre7…” when building in Android Studio

Question

I\'ve created a new project by checking the \"include kotlin\" box in Android Studio 3 and out of the box I get an error while compiling

\"Failed to resolve:         


        

Answer 1

In build.gradle (Module:app) replace

implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"

with

implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8:$kotlin_version"

and in build.gradle (Module:project) change version to

ext.kotlin_version = '1.3.0'
