I just installed flutter_stripe in my flutter project and did all the android requirements in the package page https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_stripe
right after that I started getting this error :

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Error: Gradle task assembleDebug failed with exit code 1

Along with alot of lookalike error messages that look like this :

Class 'com.stripe.android.model.CardBrand' was compiled with an incompatible version of Kotlin. The binary version of its metadata is 1.9.0, expected version is 1.7.1.
The class is loaded from C:/Users/21627/.gradle/caches/transforms-3/89e9d582b3d60c8bb4032a940e43df92/transformed/jetified-payments-model-20.37.4-api.jar!/com/stripe/android/model/CardBrand.class

I tried updating kotlin version to the latest the way it suggested but that didn’t work. tried with kotlin 2.0.0 and some other new versions and it didn’t work.
tried running flutter clean and rebuilding but it still didn’t work
