这里所有的答案都是使用gradle，但如果有人像我这样结束在这里，需要回答maven:

    <build>
        <sourceDirectory>src/main/kotlin</sourceDirectory>
        <testSourceDirectory>src/test/kotlin</testSourceDirectory>

        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.jetbrains.kotlin</groupId>
                <artifactId>kotlin-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>${kotlin.version}</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>compile</id>
                        <phase>compile</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>compile</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                    <execution>
                        <id>test-compile</id>
                        <phase>test-compile</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>test-compile</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
                <configuration>
                    <jvmTarget>11</jvmTarget>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

从jetbrains原型到kotlin-jvm的变化是<configuration></configuration>指定jvmTarget。就我而言

对我来说，原因是这个配置在我的构建gradle是在一些模块和一些不是

android {  
...      
kotlinOptions {
        val options = this as KotlinJvmOptions
        options.jvmTarget = "1.8"
    }
...
android {

如果你在android项目中

在你的应用的build.gradle中 在android {}

android{
//other configs...
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = "1.8"
    }
}

对于Kotlin语言的Gradle (*. Gradle。KTS文件)，添加这个:

android {
    [...]
    kotlinOptions {
        this as KotlinJvmOptions
        jvmTarget = "1.8"
    }
}

在我的例子中，我通过以下两个步骤解决了这个问题

1. Go to android studio preferences -> other settings -> kotlin compiler -> set Target JVM version = 1.8 
   if it doesn't work then go to the second option.

2. In your module-level build.gradle file add 
   compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility = 1.8
        targetCompatibility = 1.8
    }
    tasks.withType(org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinCompile).all {
        kotlinOptions {
            jvmTarget = "1.8"
        }
    }

正如在Kotlin网站的using-maven文档中所写的:

你只需要把<kotlin.compiler.jvmTarget>1.8</kotlin.compiler.jvmTarget>放到pom.xml的属性部分
