After including a new dependency, why is there a mismatched Kotlin version error (with metadata 1.6.0 instead of the expected 1.4.0 version)?

edit

This error occurs because the new dependency requires a higher version of Kotlin than the version specified in the project's build.gradle file. To fix this error, you need to update the Kotlin version in your build.gradle file to match the version required by the new dependency. It is recommended to use the latest version of Kotlin to avoid these kinds of issues in the future.
