Hello,
please see the following message:
Appflow can’t detect the gradle plugin version and uses java 1.8 instead of 11. Because of this reason, the build isn’t working. Full Error Message:
> Task :capacitor-android:compileReleaseJavaWithJavac
An exception has occurred in the compiler (1.8.0_312). Please file a bug against the Java compiler via the Java bug reporting page (http://bugreport.java.com) after checking the Bug Database (http://bugs.java.com) for duplicates. Include your program and the following diagnostic in your report. Thank you.
java.lang.AssertionError: annotationType(): unrecognized Attribute name MODULE (class com.sun.tools.javac.util.UnsharedNameTable$NameImpl)
What can I do to make Appflow recognizing the gradle plugin version and use Java 11?
Regards,
Marius
Hello,
if that is a capacitor app, can you please tell us how your
<project>/android/build.gradle
looks like?
Thanks,

Hello,
we have the same problem.
We have the Appflow Community subscription, so unfortunately we can’t set an environment variable.
How can I define which JAVA version should be used?
It’s about a Cordova app.
It should auto detect based on your gradle version.
Have you configured a specific gradle version?
If not, what’s your cordova-android version?
Yes, I also tried to set a special Gradle version.
Here, however, only the standard Gradle version 4.3.1 is loaded. The specified Gradle version will then be installed during the build (e.g. 7.1.1).
However, Java 8 will still be used.
Maybe the specially set Gradle version is not taken into account here, but only the 4.3.1?
I contacted Ionic Support and can now set the environment variable OVERRIDE_JAVA_VERSION.
Hi @felix741 , I have the same issue, I am also in Community subscription.
How have you managed to access OVERRIDE_JAVA_VERSION without upgrading to Basic?
As Felix741, I have contacted Ionic support and now I can set environment variable during the build process (still community subscriptio)
