When using com.google.maps.android:maps-compose in version 6.12.2 I get the following error building the project:

Your Kotlin version is too old.

Upgrading to at least Kotlin 2.1.0 should fix the issue:

kotlin = "2.1.0"

The newest stable version is 2.2.21, though, so you should probably directly upgrade to that.
