How do I resolve error message: “Inheritance from an interface with ‘@JvmDefault’ members is only allowed with -Xjvm-default option”

It seems like you are either directly or indirectly (through some other library) depending on Lifecycle 2.5.0-alpha01.

As per this issue:

You need to temporarily add following to your build.gradle:

tasks.withType(KotlinCompile).configureEach {
    kotlinOptions {
        freeCompilerArgs += [
                "-Xjvm-default=all",
        ]
    }
}

Note that in certain circumstances you may want to use all-compatibility instead of all, learn more about that in Jebrain’s blogpost.

Starting with kotlin 1.6.20 you won’t need touch build.gradle for more information see KT-47000
