How to resolve ':app ' execution failure due to 'androidx.core:core:1.15.0-alpha01' dependency?

Question

I'm encountering an issue when building my Android project. The build fails with the following error:

Execution failed for task ':app:checkDebugAarMetadata'.
> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.CheckAarMetadataWorkAction
   > An issue was found when checking AAR metadata:

       1.  Dependency 'androidx.core:core:1.15.0-alpha01' requires libraries and applications that
           depend on it to compile against version 35 or later of the
           Android APIs.

           :app is currently compiled against android-34.

           Also, the maximum recommended compile SDK version for Android Gradle
           plugin 8.1.1 is 34.

           Recommended action: Update this project's version of the Android Gradle
           plugin to one that supports 35, then update this project to use
           compileSdk of at least 35.

           Note that updating a library or application's compileSdk (which
           allows newer APIs to be used) can be done separately from updating
           targetSdk (which opts the app in to new runtime behavior) and
           minSdk (which determines which devices the app can be installed
           on).

SDK Platforms

I tried updating the compileSdkVersion to 35 in my build.gradle file, but encountered the following error:

Could not determine the dependencies of task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.
> Could not determine the dependencies of null.
   > Failed to find Platform SDK with path: platforms;android-35

Additionally, I attempted to force the dependency to an earlier version by adding implementation('androidx.core:core:1.13.1') to my app/build.gradle file, but the error remained the same.

Answer 1

add this code to app/build.gradle

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy {
        force "androidx.core:core:1.13.1"
    }
}
