"Extension with name 'android' does not exist" error when adding Kotlin to Android project

When I try to add Kotlin to our Android project using [the official Kotlin tutorial](

), Gradle fails launching the error `Extension with name 'android' does not exist`.

This is the correct order for above extension issue.
<!-- language: groovy -->

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'

Android Studio modifies your `build.gradle` adding `apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'` above `apply plugin: 'com.android.application'`. Just move the Kotlin line below the Android one and Gradle will run smoothly. It should look like this example:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'

with new versions use

plugins {
id 'com.android.application'
id 'kotlin-android'
}

New use in `2022`:

```gradle
plugins {
id 'com.android.application'
id 'kotlin-android'
}
```
