Could not find androidx.compose:compose-compiler:1.0.0-beta03

Question

I have tried looking for solution to this in other places, including from a couple questions on stack overflow, but they don't provide solution to my problem. So please don't mark my question as duplicate.

I am trying to use Jetpack Compose with Android Studio Canary. I tried setting up the project according to the documentation, but I'm getting the following error on running the project:

Execution failed for task ':app:prepareDebugKotlinCompileTask'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:kotlin-extension'.
   > Could not find androidx.compose:compose-compiler:1.0.0-beta03.

Possible solution:
 - Declare repository providing the artifact, see the documentation at https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/declaring_repositories.html

Here is my app level build.gradle file:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 30

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.voodlee0125"
        minSdkVersion 21
        targetSdkVersion 30
        versionCode 1
        versionName "0.1.25"
        multiDexEnabled true

        testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }

    buildFeatures {

        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }

    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8.toString()
        useIR = true

    }

    buildTypes {
        debug {
            minifyEnabled false

            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }

}
repositories {

This is my project level build.gradle file:

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.4.30'
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.3'
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io"
        }

        maven {
            url "http://dl.bintray.com/glomadrian/maven"
        }

    }


}

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

Please suggest a solution.

Answer 1

Don't know why and I have not found any meaningful explanation for it since Jetpack Compose Documentation does not tell any restriction about gradle version but I think it requires gradle version 4.2 and above. com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.0-alpha16. With this version I was able to use the jetpack compose.
