Outdated Kotlin Gradle Plugin Version Causing Build Failures

[arizonal2014]

Hello,

I recently integrated the flutter_sms package into my Flutter project and encountered a build error related to the Kotlin Gradle plugin version.

Error Message:
The Android Gradle plugin supports only Kotlin Gradle plugin version 1.5.20 and higher. The following dependencies do not satisfy the required version: project ':flutter_sms' -> org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.3.50

Upon inspection, it seems that the flutter_sms package is using Kotlin Gradle plugin version 1.3.50, which is not compatible with the latest Android Gradle plugin versions.

If anyone else is facing this issue, here's a step-by-step solution:

Local Copy of flutter_sms:

Clone or download the flutter_sms plugin from its GitHub repository to your local machine.

git clone [repository_url] path/to/local/flutter_sms

Update pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  flutter_sms:
    path: path/to/local/flutter_sms

Modify Kotlin Version:

Navigate to path/to/local/flutter_sms/android/build.gradle and update the Kotlin version to match the version required by your project.

Fetch Updated Dependencies:

Run flutter pub get in your terminal.

Clean and Rebuild:
Ensure everything compiles correctly:

flutter clean
flutter run

I hope this helps others who might be facing the same issue! Would be great if the maintainer could update the Kotlin version in the official repository to cater to the wider audience.

Any Alternative of this Library ?

Could the author please consider updating the kotlin-gradle-plugin for this?
