I am working on a Flutter project and have encountered an error indicating that my project requires a newer version of the Kotlin Gradle plugin. Despite following various steps to update the Kotlin and Gradle versions, the error persists. This issue specifically arises after adding Firebase dependencies to my project. I am using VS Code for development. Below are the steps I have taken so far:

• Updated ext.kotlin_version in android/build.gradle:
• Updated Kotlin version in android/app/build.gradle:
• Updated gradle-wrapper.properties:
• Executed the following commands:
  flutter clean, flutter pub get, flutter build apk, flutter upgrade

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
