KMM Plugin: Unable to create KMM shared module in existing android project in latest android studio like Android Studio Hedgehog | 2023.1.1 Patch 1

Question

I was using Android Studio Giraffe and recently updated it to Hedgehog. The KMM plugin that was working perfectly stopped showing up in File -> New Module. I have provided details about Android Studio below, along with the KMM plugin version.

Android Studio version: Android Studio Hedgehog | 2023.1.1 Patch 1

KMM version: com.jetbrains.kmm (0.8.1(231)-23)

This feature is hidden under Advanced Settings in Android Studio. Please refer this comment from JetBrain Team https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTIJ-27158/Import-is-failing-after-creation-of-new-module-if-project-dont-use-versionCatalog#focus=Comments-27-8195193.0-0
