I followed all the steps to build a capacitor project in android studio:

npm run build
npx cap add android
npx cap sync
npx cap open android

I have pointed to the path of jdk 17 in android studio since capacitor is using gradle 8.2.1.

Did you check to see if that file exists? Trying running npm update.

@twestrick Yes the file exists. I ran npm update and repeated the sync process but it didn’t get resolved. I tried checking with grade 8.9 and jdk 21 as well. Funnily I was able to build and generate an apk file a couple of days back.
