Android Studio – "Your project requires a newer version of the Kotlin Gradle plugin." Although newest version is set

My flutter code that I have been writing in Android Studio is building fine on iOS. However if I try to run it on an Android simulator, I get a lenghty error message that I don’t understand. The last bit of it says

[!] Your project requires a newer version of the Kotlin Gradle plugin.                     │
│ Find the latest version on https://kotlinlang.org/docs/releases.html#release-details, then │
│ update /Users/valerievogt/StudioProjects/chuddyapp/android/build.gradle:                   │
│ ext.kotlin_version = '<latest-version>'

So I went ahead and added the kotlin version to my android/build.gradle like so:

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.9.23'
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

rootProject.buildDir = '../build'
subprojects {
    project.buildDir = "${rootProject.buildDir}/${project.name}"
}
subprojects {
    project.evaluationDependsOn(':app')
}

This is my settings.gradle:

pluginManagement {
    def flutterSdkPath = {
        def properties = new Properties()
        file("local.properties").withInputStream { properties.load(it) }
        def flutterSdkPath = properties.getProperty("flutter.sdk")
        assert flutterSdkPath != null, "flutter.sdk not set in local.properties"
        return flutterSdkPath
    }
    settings.ext.flutterSdkPath = flutterSdkPath()

    includeBuild("${settings.ext.flutterSdkPath}/packages/flutter_tools/gradle")

    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        gradlePluginPortal()
    }
}

plugins {
    id "dev.flutter.flutter-plugin-loader" version "1.0.0"
    id "com.android.application" version "7.3.0" apply false
    id "org.jetbrains.kotlin.android" version "1.9.23" apply false
}

include ":app"

The error persists though and nothing has changed.
I tried updating and upgrading all dependencies, flutter, android sdk, studio and already replaced two packages, but I keep getting this error.

The whole error message reads like this and is way above my head:
