Version compatibility between the Compose Compiler and the Kotlin Compiler on Android

[Kweeku]

I have this error when running my application on android with the smile package added.

This error is from an example project created with the flutter create command. It is also the same issue I have in my actual flutter project. I will appreciate a looking into this matter as my compnay wishes to launch our product with smile in the coming weeks. Thanks
