Hi everybody ! I've just cloned and downloaded the Puppy Challenge repository, but AS Artic Fox (2020.3.1 Canary 8 ) do not even manage to compile it:

An exception occurred applying plugin request [id: 'com.android.application']
> Failed to apply plugin 'com.android.internal.application'.
   > java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.privateLookupIn(java.lang.Class, java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles$Lookup)

I'm compiling with Java 8 from AdoptOpenJDK

Maybe this would help? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66376361/an-exception-occurred-applying-plugin-request-id-com-android-application-wh

Thank you very much 🙂 In my case, I had to set back the embed JRE as the JDK used by Android Studio.
