Cannot inline bytecode built with JVM target 1.8 into bytecode that is being built with JVM target 1.6

Question

When trying to run the Example CorDapp (GitHub CorDapp) via IntelliJ, I receive the following error:

Cannot inline bytecode built with JVM target 1.8 int

Answer 1

If using Visual Studio Code** with Kotlin extension, go to the plugin management Crtl + Shift + x, type kotlin and click on manage (the little gear) >> Configure Extension Settings

on Kotlin >> Compiler >> Jvm:Target - type the java version. In my situation just typed 1.8

And then restart :-)

** vscode or just 'code' for linux

Answer 2

If you use Eclipse assuming you downloaded the Kotlin plugin:

Right click project -> Properties -> Kotlin Compiler -> Enable project specific settings -> JVM target version "1.8"

Answer 3

Feb 2020
android 3.4+
Go to File -> Settings -> Kotlin Compiler -> Target JVM Version > set to 1.8 and then make sure to do File -> Sync project with Gradle files

Or add this into build.gradle(module:app) in android block:

kotlinOptions {
           jvmTarget = "1.8"
         }

Answer 4

In my case, jvmTarget was already set in build.gradle file as below.

tasks.withType(org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinCompile).all {
    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = "1.8"
    }
}

But my issue was still there. Finally, it gets resolved after Changing Target JVM version from 1.6 to 1.8 in Preferences > Other Settings > Kotlin Compiler > Target JVM version. see attached picture,

Answer 5

you should configure something like as follows in build.gradle

tasks.withType(org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinCompile).all {
    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = "1.8"
    }
}

Answer 6

In my case, just changingTarget JVM Version like this: File > Setting > Kotlin Compiler > Target JVM Version > 1.8 did not help. However, it does resolved compile time error. But failed at runtime.

I also had to add following in app build.gradle file to make it work.

 android {
     // Other code here...
     kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = "1.8"
     }
 }
