The solution is in the error itself. There can be two solutions:
compileSdkVersion 30 in your app\build.gradle file, and change it to compileSdkVersion 31.androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-process:2.4.0. If you are not directly using this dependency, force gradle to use an older version like this:android {
defaultConfig {
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy {
force 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle process:2.3.1'
force 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.3.1'
force 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat-resources:1.3.1'
// force 'androidx.emoji2:emoji2-views-helper:1.0.0', This won't work, because it is made to work with Android SDK version 31 only
force 'androidx.core:core:1.6.0'
force 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-runtime:2.3.1'
}
}
}
}
Force older versions of other dependencies causing errors like this only.
Follow only one out of these two steps
In the app/build.gradle file change the compileSdk to have a value of 31
(Some of the newer components require an sdk version that is high than Android studio sets by default)
you just need to install latest
