Execution failed for task ':react-native-screens:compileReleaseKotlin'.

Description

I'm using React Native Screens in my project and encountering an issue when building an APK for Android. The build fails with kotlinVersion = 1.8.0. However, downgrading to kotlinVersion = 1.6.0 resolves the issue with react-native-screens but introduces a new error in the React Native Stripe version 0.39.0 package.

Expected Behavior

The build should complete successfully with both React Native Screens and React Native Stripe working as expected.

Environment

• React Native Screens version: 4.0.0
• React Native Stripe version: 0.39.0
• Android Gradle Plugin version: 7.3.1
• Kotlin Version:
  • 1.8.0 (issue present with react-native-screens)
  • 1.6.0 (issue present with React Native Stripe)
• Android SDK Versions:
  • Build Tools Version: 33.0.0
  • Min SDK Version: 29
  • Compile SDK Version: 34
  • Target SDK Version: 33
  • NDK Version: 23.1.7779620

Build.gradle File

Below is the build.gradle file for reference:

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
    ext {
        kotlinVersion = '1.8.0' // Causes issues with react-native-screens
        kotlinVersion = '1.6.0' // No err in react native screens if we use this kotlinVerion but err in stripe
        buildToolsVersion = "33.0.0"
        minSdkVersion = 29
        compileSdkVersion = 34
        targetSdkVersion = 33
        ndkVersion = "23.1.7779620" // We use NDK 23 which supports M1 and is compatible with AGP.
    }
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.3.1")
        classpath("com.facebook.react:react-native-gradle-plugin")
        classpath("de.undercouch:gradle-download-task:5.0.1")
        classpath('com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.15')
        classpath('com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-gradle:2.9.2')
        classpath("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlinVersion")
        // NOTE: Do not place application dependencies here; they belong in module build.gradle files.
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        mavenLocal()
        maven {
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android") // React Native binaries.
        }
        maven {
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/jsc-android/dist") // Android JSC binaries.
        }
        google()
        maven { url 'https://www.jitpack.io' }
        maven { url "https://maven.google.com" }
    }
}

Additional Context

• Using kotlinVersion = 1.8.0 resolves the Stripe-related issue but causes a compileReleaseKotlin error in the react-native-screens package.
• The issue appears to be a version compatibility problem between Kotlin and these libraries.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Update your build.gradle file with kotlinVersion = 1.8.0.
2. Attempt to build an APK for Android.
3. Observe the compileReleaseKotlin error in the react-native-screens package.
4. Change kotlinVersion to 1.6.0 in the build.gradle file.
5. Build again and observe the error in the React Native Stripe package.

@SRI-SRINIVASAN-S Hey :wave: I'm currently building react-native-screens with Kotlin version 1.9.24. It seems that we rather do not require such old Kotlin version to run :)

Also react-native 0.71 is not supported anymore with recent screens versions. See compat table
