You should probably use a strict version instead: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/rich_versions.html

the SQLDelight Gradle plugin shadows a lot of dependencies, and IIRC it also includes the Kotlin Gradle plugin. That’s not an easy thing to work around… https://github.com/cashapp/sqldelight/issues/3644

i was able to force it to 1.7.10, however, as you mentioned, this may cause issues w/ sqldelight so will proceed with caution. Thank you @Vampire @Adam
