You can just choose to ignore this error, it will not cause any problems. Or if it is too annoying, you can checkout the following solution.

Solution:

  • Go in File -> Project Structure -> Project Settings -> Project and set Project SDK to Android API 30 Platform (or the latest). Screenshot from 2021-11-08 10-08-17.png
