How can I resolve flutter app build fail for android metadata is 1.9.0, expected version is 1.7.1?

I have already followed this answer to try fix this issue but no luck.

The build works 100% on iOS Simulator, but failing on Android Emulator with below:

The class is loaded from .gradle/caches/transforms-3/c3f0666cf8984b118654915928619821/transformed/jetified-kotlin-stdlib-1.9.0.jar!/kotlin/Unit.class
e: .pub-cache/hosted/pub.dev/stripe_android-9.6.0+2/android/src/main/kotlin/com/reactnativestripesdk/utils/Mappers.kt: (926, 7): 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.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':stripe_android:compileDebugKotlin'.
> A failure occurred while executing org.jetbrains.kotlin.compilerRunner.GradleCompilerRunnerWithWorkers$GradleKotlinCompilerWorkAction
   > Compilation error. See log for more details

* Try:

  # To add assets to your application, add an assets section, like this:

  # To add custom fonts to your application, add a fonts section here,
  # in this "flutter" section. Each entry in this list should have a
  # "family" key with the font family name, and a "fonts" key with a
  # list giving the asset and other descriptors for the font. For
  # example:
  fonts:
    - family: black
      fonts:

I’m hoping someone can give advice or feedback on how to fix this issue.
