How to solve error: app:checkDebugAarMetadata-CodePudding

I am trying to add google_mobile_ads, version 1.0.0 by following the steps mentioned in this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/67883550/13240914, but when I run the app in debug mode, I get this error:

Execution failed for task ':app:checkDebugAarMetadata'.
> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.CheckAarMetadataWorkAction
   > The minCompileSdk (31) specified in a
     dependency's AAR metadata (META-INF/com/android/build/gradle/aar-metadata.properties)
     is greater than this module's compileSdkVersion (android-30).
     Dependency: androidx.work:work-runtime:2.7.0.
     AAR metadata file: /Users/mydata/.gradle/caches/transforms-2/files-2.1/6ca6bfbb6ed79157a08fdd6548cc9e4d/work-runtime-2.7.0/META-INF/com/android/build/gradle/aar-metadata.properties.

Is there any way to solve this problem? and here is android/app/build.gradle https://gist.github.com/wahyu-handayani/025cbb7c538196cf91e6629ac668954f

CodePudding user response：

The minCompileSdk (31) specified in a dependency's AAR metadata (META-INF/com/android/build/gradle/aar-metadata.properties) is greater than this module's compileSdkVersion (android-30).

The problem is occurring because in the dependency androidx.work:work-runtime:2.7.0 requires minimum SDK version 31 to run. There can be two solutions:

Use an older version of this dependency, preferably, 2.6.0
In the app\build.gradle file, change the property compileSdkVersion 30 to compileSdkVersion 31. Make sure to download the SDK version 31 from SDK manager first!
