An exception occurred applying plugin request [id: 'com.android.application'] while integration Jetpack Compose

Question

I am trying to implement JetPack Compose using Canary 8 but getting this error every time I try to sync gradle

An exception occurred applying plugin request [id: 'com.android.application']

My app\build.gradle file is below

    plugins {
    id 'com.android.application'
    id 'kotlin-android'
}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 30
    buildToolsVersion "30.0.0"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.myapplication"
        minSdkVersion 21
        targetSdkVersion 30
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"

        testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = '11'
        useIR = true
    }
    buildFeatures {
        compose true
    }
    composeOptions {
        kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion compose_version
        kotlinCompilerVersion '1.4.30'
    }
}
dependencies {
    implementation 'androidx.core:core-ktx:1.3.2'
    implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.2.0'
    implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.2.1'
    implementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui:$compose_version"
    implementation "androidx.compose.material:material:$compose_version"
    implementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling:$compose_version"
    implementation 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-runtime-ktx:2.3.0-alpha06'
    implementation 'androidx.activity:activity-compose:1.3.0-alpha02'
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.+'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.2'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.3.0'
}

My build.gradle file is below

buildscript {
    ext {
        compose_version = '1.0.0-beta01'
    }
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.0-alpha08'
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.4.30"
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

and this is my gradle-wrapper.properties

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.8.2-all.zip
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME

Answer 1

Android Gradle Plugin 7 requires Java 11.

Go to File > Project Structure and change JDK location to Embedded JDK.

Answer 2

For Android Studio Artic Fox (2020.3.1), you can find the JDK settings here:

Preferences -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Build Tools -> Gradle -> Gradle JDK

Then change the setting to "Embedded JDK"
