Plugin with id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.compose' not found

Question

I'm trying to get on to latest Kotlin version 2.1.0 for my old project that has Build.gradle. So I follow https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/compose/compiler by adding Compose Compiler Gradle plugin.

In my project's build.gradle, I have

buildscript {
    apply from: 'dependencies.gradle'

    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        maven {
            url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
        }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.5.2"
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:2.1.0"
        classpath .... 
    }
}

In my app module's build.gradle, I have

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.compose' // Newly added

FYI, I have also tried the latest syntax

plugins {
    id("com.android.application")
    id("kotlin-android")
    id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.compose")
}

When I try to sync, it complains

A problem occurred evaluating project ':App'.
> Plugin with id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.compose' not found.

What did I miss?

For the legacy syntax, you have to add it like this:

buildscript {
  repositories {
    gradlePluginPortal()
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath("org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.compose:org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.compose.gradle.plugin:2.1.20")
  }
}

apply(plugin = "org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.compose")

You get it from here: https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.compose
