Copy code
kotlin.jvmToolchain(17)j

05/10/2023, 1:26 PMThe problem is that AGP 8.0 requires JDK 17, setting jvmToolChain 17, forces the bytecode to not be compatible with Android.

05/10/2023, 1:27 PMYes, but the bytecode should be compatible with Java 8/11

kotlin.jvmToolchain(8)j

05/10/2023, 1:32 PMWith that the problem now is that, I will need to have JDK 17 and JDK 8/11 installed in the dev machine and CI server.

05/11/2023, 7:22 AMGradle should autoprovision missing JDKs required for build.
If you really don't want to use toolchain - you could just configure Kotlin jvm target:
Copy code
tasks.withType<org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinJvmCompile>().configureEach {
compilerOptions.jvmTarget.set(org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.dsl.JvmTarget.JVM_1_8)
}t
