Hello guys.
I’m trying to generate an apk using the command:
ionic cordova build android
And is returning the following error:
:generateDebugAssets
:mergeDebugAssets
:transformClassesWithDexForDebug
Dex: Error converting bytecode to dex:
Cause: Dex cannot parse version 52 byte code.
This is caused by library dependencies that have been compiled using Java 8 or above.
If you are using the 'java' gradle plugin in a library submodule add
targetCompatibility = '1.7'
sourceCompatibility = '1.7'
to that submodule's build.gradle file.
