Additional context
I cant add react native camera kit to my existing project however on a new project the kotlin-android plugin works as well as the the second issue.
I tried changing compile sdk version and target sdk version to 33 but to no success. The react native version I am using is 0.68.1 and the react-native-camera-kit version is 13.0.0

this link helped me to fix
in android/ build.gradle
buildscript {
ext {
...
kotlin_version = '1.7.20'
}
dependencies {
...
classpath("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version")
}

and in android/app/build.gradle at plugins
apply plugin: "kotlin-android"

@AsadJafry, @inas20 @nys99 did any of you fixed your issue?

It doesn't seem to be related to react-native-camera-kit, but to the way we add Kotlin to an existing project

Feel free to share what you missed in the documentation, so we can make it better for others.
