Answer 1

The error raises when Android sdk, API level, sdk tools , gradle plugin versions aren't compatible.
I'm building a project for metaquest-2 with android API level-29.
Android studio Version-4.0
For this :
Make sure configuration is as shown in below
gradle.build(Project:My_Application):
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
plugins {
id 'com.android.application' version '6.5.1' apply false
id 'com.android.library' version '6.5.1' apply false
id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.7.10' apply false }
gradle.build(Module:My_Application.app):
plugins {
id 'com.android.application'
id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android'
}
android {
namespace 'com.example.myapplication'
compileSdk 29
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.myapplication"
minSdk 23
//noinspection ExpiredTargetSdkVersion
targetSdk 29
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}

}

}

}
