I installed the latest Crisp SDK, and it works fine for iOS. On Android I am getting the following error.

Class 'kotlin.Unit' was compiled with an incompatible version of Kotlin. The binary version of its metadata is 1.9.0, expected version is 1.7.1.

I was able to make this error go away and build the app by changing kotlinVersion in android/build.gradle to 1.7.20. But I am not sure if this is the right way. Is there any better way to handle this?

My build config

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "34.0.0"
        minSdkVersion = 24
        compileSdkVersion = 34
        targetSdkVersion = 34
        ndkVersion = "26.1.10909125"
        kotlinVersion = "1.9.24"
        supportLibVersion = "29.0.0"
    }
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath('com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.4.2')
        classpath('com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.10')
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}
