Kotlin Version Mismatch with image_cropper Plugin (v7.1.0)

[tfozo]

I'm encountering a Kotlin version mismatch when using the image_cropper plugin (v7.1.0) in my Flutter project. My project is configured to use Kotlin 1.9.0, but the image_cropper plugin appears to be built with Kotlin 1.7.1, causing compilation errors.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a Flutter project.
2. Add the image_cropper plugin (v7.1.0) to your pubspec.yaml file.
3. Configure your Android project to use Kotlin 1.9.0 (in android/build.gradle).
4. Attempt to build the Android project.

Expected Behavior:

The project should build successfully without Kotlin version conflicts.

Actual Behavior:

The build fails with errors indicating a Kotlinversion mismatch, such as:

I just updated to the new flutter version and now I'm in hell

Environment:

• Flutter version: (Paste your Flutter version here)
• Kotlin version: 1.9.0
• image_cropper version: 7.1.0
• Android Studio version: (Paste your Android Studio version here)

Possible Solutions:

• Release a new version of the image_cropper plugin that supports Kotlin 1.9.0.
• Provide guidance on how to resolve the conflict for users who need to use Kotlin 1.9.0.

Let me know if you need any further information to investigate this issue.
