+Next storage is tested against Kotlin version `1.8.10`. 
 You can specify different version, in one of two ways:
 
 - add `kotlinVersion` extension to the `rootProject`:
 
 ```groovy
-rootProject.ext.kotlinVersion = '1.6.10'
+rootProject.ext.kotlinVersion = '1.8.10'

 ```groovy
-AsyncStorage_kotlinVersion=1.6.10

 ```
 
 **Room**
 
 Next AsyncStorage uses [Room persistence library](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/room) to store data.
-Currently, tested version is `2.4.2`. You can specify different version, by adding a flag to `gradle.properties`:
