I fixed it this way for myself:

In build.gradle.kts instead of that sample code define it this way: buildscript { extra.apply { set("lifecycle_version", "2.5.1") } }

Then in app/build.gradle add two things Before dependiencies block add: val lifecycle_version = rootProject.extra["lifecycle_version"] In dependencies add: implementation("androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-compose:$lifecycle_version")

Hope this helps you.
