The error is being caused because one of your dependencies is internally using WorkManager 2.7.0-beta01 that was released today (which needs API 31). In my case it was CheckAarMetadata.kt.

You can fix it by forcing Gradle to use an older version of Work Manager for the transitive dependency that works with API 30. In your build.gradle file add:

dependencies {
    def work_version = "2.6.0"
    // Force WorkManager 2.6.0 for transitive dependency
    implementation("androidx.work:work-runtime-ktx:$work_version") {
        force = true
    }
}

This should fix it.

This is because in work-runtime:2.7.0-beta01 the compileSdkVersion was updated to 31

you could either update your compileSdkVersion to 31

or use an older version of work-runtime that doesn't include this change

It is mentioned in the release notes of Version 2.7.0-beta01

Note: WorkManager Version 2.7.0 is required for apps targeting Android 12 (S).

for example, adding this to your build.gradle should fix it

api(group: "androidx.work", name: "work-runtime") {
    version {
        strictly "2.7.0-alpha04"
    }
}

In my flutter application, changed the compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion in android\app\build.gradle

android {
compileSdkVersion 31 // Changed to 31

sourceSets {
    main.java.srcDirs += 'src/main/kotlin'
}

defaultConfig {

    targetSdkVersion 31  //Changed to 31

buildTypes {

        // Signing with the debug keys for now, so `flutter run --release` works.
        signingConfig signingConfigs.debug
    }

}

And also, changed the kotlin version to '1.6.10' in android\build.gradle

buildscript {
ext.kotlin_version = '1.6.10' //change here

I was also having the same issue in my project and now that issue is being resolved. The issue was because of the dependency androidx.work:work-runtime But I would like to first mention that I was not using that dependency in my project directly (not added in my app level gradle), probably some other dependency was using that internally.

So what I did is forcefully downgraded its version by adding this

configurations.all {
        resolutionStrategy { force 'androidx.work:work-runtime:2.6.0' }
    }

inside

android {
 defaultConfig {
   //here
 }
}

and it resolved my issue.

For those others facing the below error from last 36hrs (due to an update on androidx-core):

Error:

   > A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.CheckAarMetadataWorkAction
      > The minCompileSdk (31) specified in a

        Dependency: androidx.core:core-ktx:1.7.0-alpha02.

you can try to force use androidx to older version:

place it under android/app/build.gradle (under dependencies {} preferably or outside android {})

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy { force 'androidx.core:core-ktx:1.6.0' }
}

Check the message

you can see the module used that has minCompileSdk (31) specified

Dependency: androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.4.0.

To fix this issue momentarily you have to downgrade the dependency defined into your build.gradle, for example from appcompat:1.4.0 to appcompat:1.3.0 :

dependencies {

    implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.3.0'
    ...
    ...
    ...

    /* The minCompileSdk (31) specified in a
    dependency's AAR metadata (META-INF/com/android/build/gradle/aar-metadata.properties)

Something in my project auto-updated causing a cascading effect. After first it was giving errors that I had intent-filters missing android:export="true/false" when targeting SDK 31. But my targets were set for SDK 30. I then setting targets to SDK 31 causing more issues. So I backed them out...but as a result of setting to SDK 31, other dependencies were trying to use BETA releases versus the stable version.

In my case, after rolling back to SDK 30, I then started getting an error similar to the OPs minCompileSdk (31) specified in a dependency's androidx.appcompat:appcompat-resources:1.4.0-beta01 - the stable version for appcompat is 1.3.1.

In my /<project>/platforms/android/project.properties file my appcompat dependency was set to:

cordova.system.library.19=androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1+

This was causing version 1.4.0-Beta01 to be updated/loaded. So I had to pin it back to:

cordova.system.library.19=androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.3.1

To solve this issu follow these steps

Go to SDK manager in android studio and install 'Android api 31'
Go to build.gradle file and change complie SDK version 'x' to compile SDK version 31 and change target SDK version also to 31
Now synk
go to manifest.xml and write this line to inside your activity which is linked with intent filter 'android: export="true" Now build the project. It will definitely solve this problem

Note also that the latest Google Ads SDK dependencies (currently v20.5.0) may lead to the minCompileSDK (31) error in the following circumstance:

your project is setup to use a compileSDK and targetSDK of 29/30
The Google Ads (or any) dependency version included in the implementation section of your build.gradle is intended for use with Apps compiling against API 31 / Android 12

For example your build.gradle may contain:

    compileSdkVersion 29

    targetSdkVersion 29

    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads-lite:20.5.0'

As mentioned in other answers the way to resolve this is that you need to apply a force resolutionStrategy to ensure that the latest versions of the androidx.work:work-runtime and androidx.core:core-ktx are not picked up as required build dependencies.

The following works for me

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy { force 'androidx.work:work-runtime:2.6.0' }
    resolutionStrategy { force 'androidx.core:core-ktx:1.6.0' }
}

NOTE: Once you have migrated to compiling against API 31, the resolutionStrategy lines should be removed to ensure that you are using the latest versions of the core Android platform dependencies

I had this problem and was getting no solutions from any of the Stack Overflow threads. Disabling Hyper V and running basic diagnostics were still not helpful. I was getting stop codes each time I tried to run my VM.

I fixed this issue by going into the SDK manager and updating the SDK Platform and SDK tools.

I got this error when trying to target API 30 in a Java project. It was caused by appcompat version 1.4.1 requiring a target API of 31 or higher. If you downgrade to version 1.3.1 it will support a target API of 30 or higher.

To target API 30, you need to downgrade both androidx.appcompat:appcompat and com.google.android.material:material to older versions.

Change the versions from:

implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.4.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.5.0'

To:

implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.3.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.4.0'

I would have loved to give an answer to the following question, but since it have been closed..

This is a pure copy of the following answer but it should make the trick

"This issue is related to androidx.appcompat:appcompat 1.4.0-beta01 released on September 29, 2021.

As plugin.xml defines ANDROIDX_VERSION as major version 1 (1.+), 1.4.0-beta01 was used instead of 1.3.0. Unfortunately you cannot simply use cordova plugin add cordova.plugins.diagnostic --variable ANDROIDX_VERSION=1.3.+ to overwrite the value, as the same version would be used for androidx.legacy:legacy-support-v4 which exists as version 1.0.0 only.

I successfully used cordova plugin add cordova.plugins.diagnostic --variable ANDROIDX_VERSION="[1.0, 1.4[" to get my builds fixed." - Vivek Kachhwaha

For me, I had to uninstall the java version which is currently the latest (java 17) and install java 11.

I'm using expo react native. I tried to use expo run:android or eas build --profile development --platform android. The error I got from these two was solved by simply doing the above.

If you're coming from Flutter after upgrading to Flutter 3.3

Here's how to resolve this issue

The issue is the default value of compileSdkVersion of the application which could be 31 or any version.

Adding the command below to the gradle file displayed the correct version it's using for compilation println flutter.compileSdkVersion

However, you can override the value if you have local.properties file defined with the minCompileSdk to the recommended version in the error for example version 32

flutter.targetSdkVersion=32
flutter.compileSdkVersion=32

You can confirm if the value in local.properties is accessible in the gradle file

println localProperties.getProperty('flutter.compileSdkVersion').toInteger()

update the compileSdkVersion to read the value this way

android {
compileSdkVersion localProperties.getProperty('flutter.compileSdkVersion').toInteger()

}

flutter clean
flutter pub get
flutter run

Android app won't build -- The minCompileSdk (31) specified in a dependency's androidx.work:work-runtime:2.7.0-beta01
