Java 11 setup for Android build

Question

• What went wrong:
  A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.

  Failed to apply plugin 'com.android.internal.application'.

  Android Gradle plugin requires Java 11 to run. You are currently using Java 1.8.

  You can try some of the following options:
  • changing the IDE settings.
  • changing the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
  • changing org.gradle.java.home in gradle.properties.

I tried to build the Android project in App Center, project uses latest gradle 7.0.1 with Java 11 compile options, while building the project looks like app centre machine does not have to Java 11, I see above error with build failure.

Is there any config option in build setting?

Hello,​

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

I find this issue was reported in the github, here is a solution about this issue:https://github.com/microsoft/appcenter/issues/2067#issuecomment-888853402. If you have issue when you used AppCenter, you can get a free support in the AppCenter directly like this way https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/appcenter/help#accessing-app-center-free-support
