Question

JDK version: 11

gradle.properties or gradle version

Build tool version

 classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.3'

Kotlin Version

Major version 61 is Java 17 - javaalmanac.io/bytecode/versions. The Java version you are using on the command line is Java 17, not Java 11 - fix that in the command line environment, be it bash, zsh or cmd. The project setup JDK (Build, Execution, Deployment -> Build Tools -> Gradle -> Gradle JDK) can differ from the command line env JDK. Type javac -version to confirm. Also try running the gradle task directly from the gradle tasks list in the IDE - the will use the Project JDK if you are not successful setting the command line JDK. – Backandforth

@MarkKeen I am executing that command(./gradlew assembleRelease artifactoryPublish) from the android terminal and after checking java version from android terminal its showing 17 but I can see the project setting its 11 not sure why its talking system java JDK not android one – Guy
