[FIXED] How can I resolve the error "The minCompileSdk (31) specified in a dependency's AAR metadata" in native Java or Kotlin?

Issue

The error message:

The minCompileSdk (31) specified in a dependency's AAR metadata (META-INF/com/android/build/gradle/aar-metadata.properties) is greater than this module's compileSdkVersion (android-30). Dependency: androidx.core:core-ktx:1.7.0-alpha02.

AAR metadata file:
C:\Users\mohammad.zeeshan1.gradle\caches\transforms-2\files-2.1\a20beb0771f59a8ddbbb8d416ea06a9d\jetified-core-ktx-1.7.0-alpha02\META-INF\com\android\build\gradle\aar-metadata.properties.

Solution

I have found the solution. Enter this line of code above package in the app Gradle file.

For Kotlin developers:

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

For Java developers

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