Appcenter ms Android Gradle plugin requires Java 17

Question

Android Studio Giraffe | 2022.3.1 I updated my proyect to gradle 8.0, androidGradlePluginVersion = '8.1.0' it asked to update java version

 compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_17
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_17
    }

AS works fine

We are using Appcenter ms to distribute the builds but its not compiling the builds with this upgrated

Getting this error from Appcenter

Failed to apply plugin 'com.android.internal.library'.
   > Android Gradle plugin requires Java 17 to run. You are currently using Java 11.
      Your current JDK is located in /Users/runner/hostedtoolcache/Java_Temurin-Hotspot_jdk/11.0.19-7/x64/Contents/Home
      You can try some of the following options:
       - changing the IDE settings.
       - changing the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
       - changing `org.gradle.java.home` in `gradle.properties`.

Any ideas how handle it? we are already set the Environment variables with java 11

Rightwards

Have the same question but couldn't figure out the solution though. However, in dev azure pipeline I was able to figure out how to set java 17 which is under advance collapsable under gradle build task. Not certain how to set in app center though(for a different project) – Pricilla

@SamReyes take a look at my answer, I use app center and I ran into the same error as well and I was able to fix it by changing app center environment variable – Jaenicke

Answer 1

I got he same error in app center.

I fixed it by changing the Environment variables JAVA_HOME

from

$(JAVA_HOME_11_X64)

to

$(JAVA_HOME_17_X64).

should I support JAVA 17 in my code? compileOptions { coreLibraryDesugaringEnabled true sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 } kotlinOptions { jvmTarget = "1.8" } – Godchild
