Android Studio Kotlin Issues

I've been learning to develop in Kotlin these days. Trying to keep up with the development of App Creation on Android. As I opened my project, I got notified that there is a new Kotlin compiler available and I just clicked on the link to update my project. Upgraded all gradle dependencies and boom... Problems

I failed to document all the problems I encountered but this one got me stuck. But heres how I solved it. Downgrade to an earlier version of Kotlin compiler.

At the time of writing below is what works for me on Electric Eel

buildscript {
    ext {
        compose_ui_version = '1.4.1'
    }
}// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
plugins {
    id 'com.android.application' version '7.4.2' apply false
    id 'com.android.library' version '7.4.2' apply false
    id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.8.0' apply false
}

There's just a lot of new things going on and a lot of projects I have done are using old methods. I try to catch up but life gets in the way. Hopefully this helps someone else facing the same situation as me.
