how to set kotlin version for gradle runtime?

Issue

Background Info:

I am using jetpack compose for android developing and for some reason I CANNOT use gradle 7+. Currently I tried gradle 6.7.1 but it says

./gradlew -v                              

------------------------------------------------------------
Gradle 6.7.1

Kotlin:       1.3.72
Groovy:       2.5.12
Ant:          Apache Ant(TM) version 1.10.8 compiled on May 10 2020
JVM:          1.8.0_311 (Oracle Corporation 25.311-b11)
OS:           Mac OS X 10.16 x86_64

And jetpack compose 1.1.1 that I am using needs at least kotlin version 1.5.10.

Wants

I am seeking for How to set gradle runtime version from 1.3 to the version I want.

Accrodding to my current research, I believe upgrade the kotlin runtime-version won't cause a problem on gradle running.

Solution

Thanks to my workmate and we found answer from apg codes and verified it from google developer web.

Well, as the answer found on https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/compose-kotlin ,I am really confused that google placed it in the library menu but not compose menu and I really did hard work to find it in compose article list. :-(

compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8

//just set follow options for your compose module
        kotlinCompilerVersion="1.1.0"
        kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion = "1.6.10"
    }
