I am creating an app in Android Studio IDE using Java, but whenever I build my project this error comes:

Could not find org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8:1.6.10.
Required by:
    project :app

I have checked all the previous answers, but they are outdated. I haven't even used Kotlin anywhere but despite of that, this error comes. Here's my app level Gradle code:

plugins {
    id 'com.android.application'
    id 'kotlin-android'
    id 'com.google.gms.google-services'
}

android {
    compileSdk 32

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.safechat"
        minSdk 26
        targetSdk 32
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"

        testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = '1.8'
    }
    buildFeatures {
        viewBinding true
    }
}

dependencies {

    implementation 'androidx.core:core-ktx:1.7.0'
    implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.4.0'
    implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.4.0'
    implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.1.2'
    implementation 'androidx.navigation:navigation-fragment:2.3.5'
    implementation 'androidx.navigation:navigation-ui:2.3.5'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:21.0.1'
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.3'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.4.0'
    implementation platform('com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:29.0.1')
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics'
    implementation 'androidx.browser:browser:1.4.0'

}

and below is my project level Gradle code:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.4"
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.6.10"
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.10'

    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

Please help because I cannot develop further features without testing older features. (The line 8 in project level Gradle file causes errors on being removed, so I am bound to keep it)

Edit 1 - Removed a confusing line from the code here as well as in my own file, didn't make any difference.

Edit 2 - Added a necessary line for more clarification.

Add jcenter() to your repositories

    buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
         classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.4"
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.6.10"
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.10'
    }
}

    allprojects {
        repositories {
            google()
            jcenter()
        }
    }

Also add java 11 to your project

compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_11
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_11
    }
    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = "11"
    }
